My microwave is working but the turn table is not turning

next time send the brand name and model number,when you go to work on a micro wave unplug it,even if you change a bulb on it,i've seen people change the bulb without unplugging it and cook the computer board,on the bottom there's a motor that turns thee turn table,drop the bottom panel of the micro wave usually like 6 to 9 screws and on some there could be an access panel just for the motor,unplug the old motor and remove screw or screws,pop off the cover inside the microwave where the glass turn table sits on and,put the new motor in and put it back the same way you took it apart,it's pretty easy to do.go here put your model number in and find part number

Ge profile micro wave above stove 1850SM2SS will not heat turn table works and lights work

If you know DMM then only you can fix it. Check magnetron continuity and the transformer continuity. Mostly magnetron blows up. Danger microwave has 5000 volts in it Thanks Discharge capacitors

When pressing the start button, only the timer comes on, and the micro wave turn table and the microwave itself does not operate ? It had been operating intermittenly, now it does not work at all. Shutting...

Check the door interlock switches. If one is not contacting properly due to the door being misaligned, realign the door hinges.
Hope that helps.

The turntable is either plastic gear driven or uses a belt. either way, it's usually all non metallic due to the microwaves. you'll need to see if the motor that drives these are turning by removing the case. this can be EXTREMELY dangerous as the radiation from the cylstron tube. if it's a simple as a belt, the part can be replaced. good place to go is www.repairclinic.com

Do you cook a lot of popcorn?

Do you place your food items in the center of the turntable as opposed to placing them off-center?

Both can cause repeated heating of the same spot on the turntable, which can stress it and allow it to crack.

You can buy replacement parts here.

I suggest that when you cook popcorn, place a paper plate or two upside-down under the bag and always place your food items off-center on the turntable tray.

Once you have the new parts, I would suggest at least a quick heat test. That is to heat one cup of water on high and it should boil in about 2 to 2-1/2 minutes.

If you would like to perform a more standard heat test, please see my Ask Mr. Microwave page.

If your magnetron is indeed running too hot, then it is probably dying. Sometimes - like a star - they can burn hotter right before they die.

We're happy to help and we appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.

This is commonly caused by a turntable motor that has worn out and needs replaced.

The motor can be replaced by following these steps:

1. Unplug microwave.
2. Open oven door and remove glass tray and carousel ring.
3. Locate and remove the screws holding the bottom panel (under the microwave) in place. With the screws removed, the bottom panel should open.
4. Disconnect the connector plug from the turntable motor.
5. Reach inside the oven and remove the coupler. This is the small plastic piece that the center of the glass tray sits on. You may have to gently pry up with a flat screwdriver to get it to come loose.
6. With the coupler removed, loosen the mounting screw(s) to the motor and it should easily come out from under the oven.
7. Install new motor in the reverse order of the steps I just provided.

This is a very simple repair. If the model number you have this question listed uner is correct, the part number for a replacement motor is WB26X10135. It sells for about $20 at appliancepartspros.com. You can view an exploded view diagram of your microwave by typing in your model number. The motor is listed as item 43 under the Interior Parts (1) diagram.
If you have any questions, or if your moel number is different, please post back with your complete model number so that I may be able to provide you with better assistance. I hope this help you.

There is no rear panel access on MOST microwave ovens. You would need to remove the entire exterior case to access the internal components (if required). If this is an over the range model you will not be able the access the rear of the oven while it is installed. The procedures I provided explain how to repair an over the range model WITHOUT uninstalling it.
