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.
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.

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 ? [email protected]

The wave emitting part inside the microwave oven is called the magnetron. The waves emitted by the magnetron generate heat in food. When the microwave is running, turntable turns and light comes on but there is no heat it means that either the magnetron is faulty or the magnetron is not getting power. When the magnetron is not getting power parts such as the high voltage diode or capacitor must be tested or replaced. Testing and repair must be carried by a technician.

Hello, Thank You for using FixYa. I will be helping you today.I checked my service books and only mention of turning them on or off is if has a turntable on/off button on the control.It does not mention anything about doing it in any setup or settings. The turntable motor may have failed.Hope this helps..
Thank You and please rate my answer if it was helpful..
Many lets say higher end microwaves use metal trays to improve cooking performance and are often used in conjunction with broilers in the oven cavity. Contrary to popular belief, metal in a microwave is not a problem as you may notice the racks and the cavity itself is metal. Arcing occurs when there are bare metal surfaces adjacent to each other. So a spoon usually won't cause a problem, but a fork will due to the proximity of the forks teeth. If the unit is working properly, just enjoy it.
the switches are on the left or right side or both (there may be two).locate them and theres 2 wires on the switch.jump them out.if there bad replace them as it would be a hazard issue for radiation not to.
