Dear customer,

please do the following checks...

• Check timer and clock settings
• Reseat the element
• Test the element
• Test the element connectors
• Test the oven temperature control
• Test the oven selector control

SOURCE: Sharp R-1490 microwave 2000

the fuse to the magnetron may be blown or the mag it's self is gone. if the door switch was bad the unit wouldn't rotate the carousel. if it is the fuse (check with a multi-meter and check continuity across both side of the fuse, acheap one will do) if it is good, time to replace the micro, as they are cheap and repair would cost more than to replace. hope this helps.

SOURCE: My Cuisinart Microwave's carousel doesn't turn.

This could be a very simple repair. The carousel is rotated by a small motor located under the bottom panel of the oven. This small motor has a coupler attached to it, that the glass tray sits on. The motor can be accessed by performing the following steps:

1. Unplug the microwave oven and open the oven door. Remove the glass tray.

2. Remove the small coupler by pulling straight up on it.

3. Close the oven door and locate the bottom panel screws UNDER the microwave oven.

4. Remove the screws and the bottom panel will open (some are hinged from the back).

5. Remove the connector plug and mountuing screws to the motor and that's it.

6. Re-install new motor using the steps provided in reverse order.

NOTE: This repair can be performed with the oven in place if it is mounted above a range. No need to uninstall. Just make sure the power is turned off to the unit before servicing anything inside.
