If it's a turntable with a usb connector, those connections are usually outputs only. USB on a turntable is used to output the audio to a computer to rip albums to digital audio.

chances are that is the drive belt for the platter, check you local radio shack, they used to carry or be able to order those kinds of things

Hi, most likely the belt has come off or is stretched. Cheers John. Styluscity

sorry to say but most likely case is bad motor or turntable issue of some type. unless expensive unit cheaper to buy a new player.

Thank you for the solution of moving the arm to the right and wait for the click, now my turntable works and Keely Smith is playing and sounding great!

Hi, remove the platter and check that the belt has not come off. Cheers john. Styluscity

Inspect the turntable base wheels and guides. If they are gummed up with food or other gunk, they will not turn and the turntable will not rotate. Clean as needed.


Remove the microwave case by unscrewing the casing screws with your screwdriver. Locate the turntable motor which will be directly beneath the oven floor.


Inspect the belt that connects the motor to the rotating table. If the belt is broken, replace it.


Touch the probes of a continuity tester to the electrical contacts on the motor. If the tester lights up, the motor windings are good, which means the motor is functional. If there is no light, the motor needs to be replaced.


Check the wires leading from the cord to the motor itself. Look for any breaks in the wire, or a wire that has been pulled off of any electrical connection. Any connection that has been compromised can be soldered back into place, but if the cord is damaged at all, it needs to be replaced.


Attempt to spin the motor by hand if the continuity is good and the belt is in place. It should spin freely, but if it is difficult or doesn't move at all, you will need to lubricate the bearing. Either apply spray or bearing lube to the motor axles to solve this problem, and allow the motor to spin freely once again.

The self-lubricating bushing in the turn-table is dried out. This is a difficult problem to solve and best left to an expert. Don't expect great results.

Have you checked the belt that makes the plates move?
