GE Spacemaker model.
Problem unaffected by weight on turntable - just grinds and appears to stop/start. In trying to diagnose and fix, what steps should be taken. Is access from below? Temporary solution so far has been to turn off turntable to stop the noise and the problem
[No food blocking the rollers under the turntable plate]
Unplug unit and take bottom off of it with the screws that go around the outer edge. The turnatanble motor has 2 screws and is removabe from the bottom underneath.

It will need a new turntable motor.

Either the turntable motor is weak or the coupler has cracked or worn out.

FYI, the high voltage is only 3-4000VDC but still quite lethal.
Otherwise, the previous solution is accurate.

You can see and hear a video of how a turntable motor should sound when you rotate it by hand.
If
yours is not set to be off via the control panel, and it 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.
If yours is a GE, you can usually find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full model number here.
If yours is a GE, there
should also be a "mini-manual" hidden inside the unit behind the
control panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is
very helpful when troubleshooting & testing.

That model number doesn't ring a bell. Is that right? Is it foreign?
Chances are the coupler and/or turntable support will be damaged or warped.
Also on some brands, the "packing" (often a rubber grommet) must be replaced.
