The turntable component will not power on or turn at all. When I flip to Phono and lift arm, nothing happens. I have a Crosley CR73 and the only reason I got it was for the turntable. It worked for about 6 months but then stopped. It wasn't even used much prior to it not working.

Since it is new, you should probably return for refund or exchange.
My guess would be it is the micro switch controlled by the arm.
Make sure the power is turned on and the unit's function selection is set on PHONO and then gently move the tone arm to the right until you hear a "click". Remove any cassettes that might be in the cassette player. Lift the tone arm and carry it over to the beginning of the record.
The only logical cause is a weak belt, as the arm reaches the center of the platter, the load on the belt becomes to great and it slips around the motor pole. I would replace the belt! Then see if it works.
Try this - GENTLY move the phono arm to the RIGHT until you hear a
click (of course, do this after you turn on the power via the volume
dial and set the other dial to"phono"). Doing this turns on the
turntable when you haven't used it in awhile. This worked for us, hope
it works for you.
If
it doesn't work, you can check the belt by removing the tiny clip at
the center post and gently lift the turntable platform/tray to peek at
the motor and belt underneath. The pulley is on the right at the 2
o'clock position, the belt should be in contact with it.
