The turntable stopped on my sears microwave. how do i fix it?

There is either a direct drive motor under the platter, in the center of the microwave, or there is a motor off to the side, either on top of or under the cavity., that has a rubber belt, like a rubber band that drives the turntable...belt is broken, or there is not power to either kind of motor...use a mutimeter if you have one or a light bulb made to light with 110 volts...hope this helps...if the motor is burnt up replace it..if there is no power to the motor leads...then the main control board if probabley bad...

The turntable motor will need to be replaced, this type of repair is tricky not to mention the lethal voltages it carries. I strongly recommend a professional for this job.

microwave turntable has stopped rotating can I fix it?

I am also looking elsewhere

The turntable system consists of the motor, the coupler, the turntable support with rollers, and the tray.

You can see and hear a video of how a turntable motor should sound when you rotate it by hand.

If yours won't rotate or it sounds like it's grinding, etc., you may have a bad motor or plastic coupler.

To replace either, you need to unplug power, then remove the bottom cover of the oven.

You can usually find exploded views and order parts by entering your model number at the Sears parts site.

A full Sears/Kenmore model number has 3 digits, a dot, then 8 more digits, such as ###.########

I has this problem with a Sears unit. The repairman simply removed the glass tray, cleaned all the wheels and the 3 toothed driver wheel in the middle and it became quiet. He explained that if any buildup keeps the plate from properly seating on the gear, it gets very noisy.

It's called either the turntable coupler or the turntable support, depending on your model number. You can visit the Sears parts Web site at http://www3.sears.com/ and enter your full model number and see exploded view diagrams, parts lists, and order the part. Or you can call Sears parts at 1-800-252-1698.

You can find an exploded view of your microwave at http://www3.sears.com (yes, the 3 is there). Ref # 3009 on the drawing is the turntable motor. I would grab it by the shaft and gently try to turn it. If it's locked up or grinding, that's a sign it's bad.

Hope this helps!
