My turntable on my microwave is not turning. It turns manually but not when the microwave is running. If the turntable is not turning the microwave will not heat.
-   I have the exact same problem mentioned by these other folks - the turntable won't turn and the over will not heat.-   Guest

-   Turntable is not turning, and not heating. Lights are working, the fan seems to be working, everything else looks as it should be working. Oven is clean.-   Robert25
I fixed the problem with my microwave turntable motor without having to replace it. I removed the motor from the microwave and placed it in a small vise. Using a very small flat head screwdriver I was able to pry up the four tabs holding the casing together. You may need a slightly larger screwdriver after that to bend them back out of the way so you can remove the motor cover plate. Carefully take out all the plastic gears and note their position for re-assembly. You will find that the primary gear, at the bottom of the rest of the gears is attached to the motor magnet. It has a shaft that acts as a bushing passing through the center motor magnet. On the underside it is attached to a plastic washer. This is where it breaks. The motor magnet spins free of the gear/bushing/washer assembly. I used JB Weld epoxy to glue this assembly back together and it works like brand new. Note: On mine there were four indentations on each side of the motor magnet which corresponded to little ?bumps? on the underside of the gear on top and washer on the bottom. Place all the plastic gears back into the motor in the correct order, slide on the motor cover plate and use a small cold chisel with a round end and tap hammer to bend the tabs back into place. If this worked for you please let me know ? karlet@bellsouth.net

I have the same problem. I've just replaced the membrane touch pad for the 4th time. This time, the lower oven works but the upper oven indicates an F4 error. The trouble shooting sheet I have says F4 indicates a problem with the sensor. Where is the sensor, can it be replaced and if so, what is the part number?

My GE 27" JKP77WV got very slow reaching even 330 F. It cannot reach 500 F ; I did calibrate the thermostat with +35F. Both a calibrated external thermometer & the internal thermocouple read about the same. Thanks

1) Last 6 months - turntable would run with door open but heated fine. 2) Last week - table would turn intermittently when trying to cook. If table did not turn, micro was not heating. 3) Yesterday - Pad operates normally, sounds like it is operating, but table does not turn and micro is not heating.
