Quite
often this is due to grease or food particles stuck somewhere in the
cavity of the oven or stuck on or behind the waveguide cover.
The
waveguide cover (also called a spatter shield) is usually about the
size of a playing card and often held in place by a plastic rivet.
It can be fragile, and
the metal edges of the oven behind it can be sharp, so be careful!
The cover and the metal
behind it should be cleaned with a mild, non-ammonia cleaner.
If the metal of the oven wall is burned or chipped, the area will
first have to be sanded smooth and
cleaned and dried thoroughly.
Then you can apply some
high-temperature appliance paint, available from places like Wal-Mart,
Lowe's or Builder's Square.
If the cavity metal of
the oven is cracked or split, you can use a small amount
of steel-based epoxy such as JB-WELD
to patch the crack or hole.
Once that dries
thoroughly, you can sand it very smooth, then apply paint.
If your
waveguide cover
is burned, it will need to be replaced.
It provides critical
protection for the magnetron.

you have a bad turntable motor or a bad control board.. start with the motor 9 time out of 10 this is your problem.. you can pick up this part at your local parts house or order online.. look for universal part. this will be alot cheaper then the oem.. just take the screws out of bottom panel under microwave. panel will drop down. you will see little round motor about 2in' make sure unit is unplugged.

I had the same problem several years ago. I took it out and just left a hole. No problems yet.
Hi
To locate the inlet cover, look towards the interior side of the microwave next to the microwave display. The inlet is typically located near the back of the microwave, in the middle of the wall.
Unplug your microwave from the electrical outlet and remove any food or containers.
Wipe the inlet cover, typically located on the right side of the microwave in the middle of the wall, with a damp cloth. The cover must be kept clean or it will not protect the microwave.
Dry the inlet cover with a soft towel.
Leave the microwave door open for several hours to air out the inlet cover.
Examine the inlet cover for wear and tear. If the cover has too much damage in the form of scratches or holes, it may need replacement.
Remove the inlet cover, if desired. Insert a putty knife under the plastic nail that holds the inlet cover in place. Pry out the nails and set them aside. Pull out the micro plate in front of the inlet and set it aside. Remove the inlet plate.
Install a new inlet plate. Slide the new inlet cover into its place. Replace the nails back into the side of the microwave by aligning them with the holes of the side.
Please get back to us if you have further query else please accept the suggestion.
