How to order parts

I think the problem is just coincidental to the lamp replacement.

i would say there is grease or food debris on the turntable support or turntable motor coupler.

The service manual is here and you can order parts from the Pros here.

you can view the parts diagram and order parts from the following link

That Sharp part number would be "RMOTDA145WRE0" (zero on the end).

Looks like you have the purchase the glass tray in order to get the coupler. I would give Reliable Parts a call though phone # is 1-800-666-0313. Give them your model number and the name of the part you need.

My sharp microwave convection oven (R-1870) runs for 59 seconds and stops. If I push start it runs for another 59 seconds and stops. How can this be fixedd?

If the microwave is still heating, but not turning, the part you are talking about is the carousel motor. The carousel itself, is the small ring that the tray sits on.

If the motor is not turning, it can easily be replaced. You will need to remove the bottom panel (under the microwave) to access the motor and connecting wires. The spindle is the shaft that attaches to the carousel motor and is where the center part of the glass tray sits. The spindle simply lifts off the motor shaft.

Since you posted no brand name or model number, I have no idea how to identify a part number for you, or where to order from. If you still need assistance, please let me know. Post back with your information so that I may be able to assist you better. I hope this helps.

Ooops! I see it now.

You can find exploded views and order parts by entering your model number at the Sears parts site.

For the smell, do a Google search for "smell microwave" or "odor microwave" for many great tips.
