Hello there,
This is pretty strange i never saw this happen until maybe a week ago.
for years i have been using a microwave and this one i have now i have had for maybe 5 years now.
I have microwaved everything you can think of in this one. IT's got a large enough cavity to cook decent size chickens.
Ok, so during all that time i have always used a secondary plate on top of the rotation plate and placed it very nearly in the center of the rotation plate. I place the food around the edge of the secondary plate as much as possible. The rotating plate is made of glass same as most microwave ovens, the secondary plate on top is made of some other plastic type material made for the microwave.
For the last 10 years or more i have placed a second plate in the center and turned on the microwave and watched for a while as the plate went around with the glass plate and the food with it. The nice thing about that is i can get the food to cook evenly or at least nearly so.
Now all of a sudden, about a week ago, the secondary plate starts sliding to one side of the larger glass plate. I center it carefully as before, and as soon as i hit the button the thing starts turning and the secondary plate slides almost immediately to one edge of the glass plate. That means the food is offset now and not cooking evenly. This never happened before and i have done this so many times.
I thought there wasnt enough friction between the secondary plate and the glass plate under it, so i stuck little silicone feet on the bottom of the secondary plate. To push that plate to one side now takes more force than before you can feel it if you try to slide it. However, it does no good. I even placed a silicon sheet under the top plate and that didnt help either.
I fear i may have to make up a 'ring' shaped circular piece to put the top plate on so the bottom will be confined in the center of the ring.
Does this make any sense? I could see if if the microwave was way off level but nothing changed so i cant see that being the cause. Maybe there is a little vibration that causes the top plate to ride the surface similar to those old football games where the players had special feet that pushed them along when the 'field' was vibrated.
See if you can think of any good reason for this to happen, and to happen all of a sudden.
Maybe ghosts really do exist
