Probably has developed a short circuit in the door interlock wiring but the control board could be defective

1. Defective motor
2. Defective control board
3. Defective door interlock

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

Avantiums are heavy. Underneath the turn table mechanically is only the turn table motor and the frame of the microwave. I would let it sit for a day and dry out before using it. But in the long run it might create corrosion and eventually you will need to replace your turn table motor. But I have seen liquid spilled into the turn table motor and be fine. You may create more damage by uninstalling your microwave to clean up the spill.

It is one of two things, a defective door switch, "most likely" or the keypad control board is faulty.

It is good that the microwave does not work all together. It might be an interlock button or even a relay connection burn on the main mother circuit board.

Need a qualified technician. The service manual will be like $20-50.

Either the coupler that is located in the center of the oven cavity that the turntable sits on is defective or the turn table motor is defective. . Either repair is rather simple (coupler being the easiest) with parts available online.

take down the bottom panel and replace the turn table motor p# wb26x10038

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 ###.########
