Alright...The microwave workes fine. But when i operate the unit, the turntable doesn't turn and the microwave starts making this raspy sound. I have to manually turn the rotating button off so it stoppes making the noise. What can I do to fix it? Have model #JVM1850WD 001 and unit started making horrible grinding sound yesterday. Sounds like its coming from turntable motor. Turntable rotates on and off. How do you turn off the turntable? Any solutions to motor noise and how do you access motor for replacement if necessary?
Try to check the heating coil
It is normal for a microwave to produce noiseduring its regular operation. A change in the type of noise produced is mostlikely indicative of some type of maintenance that needs to be performed.
The appearance of a grinding, squealing, orscraping sound could mean you need a belt replaced or that a motor is in needof lubrication. Performing minor maintenance tasks now, such as lubricating amotor and replacing a belt, can prevent having to conduct even more costlyrepairs in the future.

You need to take apart the oven and fix the turntable gear, then reassemble it, it is not a difficult job. Always work with power unplugged.
See for the turn table obstacle of any screw or something else.
If the turntable fails to rotate, open the door and look at the roller and ring assembly. Make sure that there is no food debris blocking the path of the wheels, and that the roller and ring assembly is seated properly. If not, it's pretty easy to re-align it. Sometimes though, the plastic coupler or the motor for the turntable may be defective. Other times the glass tray may jump off track. Simply re-seat the glass in the proper place. There are usually grooves in the plastic coupler that line up with grooves in the glass tray. To access the turntable, the cabinet needs to be opened. Some microwave ovens allow you to turn the turntable function off. Check to verify that it wasn't accidentally shut off. The last home check is to make sure you have pressed a cook function rather than a timed function. Call a professional appliance repair person if the case needs to be opened.

The response I received below to my request how to fix the griding noise eminating from the turntable of my GE JVM1850WD Microwave is great if I had any idea how to disassemble the oven and access the turntable. Can someone please advise?
