I understand that the turntable is not spinning on your Frigidaire microwave, model# FGMV174KBB. There is a possibility that your microwave is in a "Turntable off" mode. To turn the turntable back on, press the "turntable on/off" button.I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your appliances status has changed successfully. Hope this is helpful.
test the following steps and fix it. God bless you
Turntable Motor
If the microwave turntable doesn't turn the
turntable motor might be worn out. This is a common problem and
relatively easy to replace.
Touchpad and Control Panel
If the microwave turntable doesn't turn the
touchpad and control panel might be defective. This is not common. Test
the turntable motor first.
Touchpad
If the microwave turntable doesn't turn and
the touchpad has a button to turn the turntable on and off the touchpad
might be defective. Check the turntable motor first, that is more
likely.
User Control and Display Board
If the microwave turntable doesn't turn the
turntable motor might be worn out. This is a common problem and
relatively easy to replace. If the motor is good, the user control and
display board may be defective.
Main Control Board
If the microwave turntable doesn't turn the
turntable motor is usually the problem. If the motor is good the main
control board might be defective
Repairs are expensive. New microwaves are cheap. But you don't have to spend a dime on either. If your microwave turntable stopped spinning, here's an easy way to try and fix it. And all you need is some warm, soapy water and your own two hands.
You don't have to be an appliance expert to troubleshoot a seemingly broken microwave turntable. You might find that all your little Zappy needs is a checkup and a good, thorough cleaning.
If you follow these steps and find that your microwave still isn't turning, it probably means the motor has spun it's last spin. Then it's time to retire old Zappy.
Unplug the microwave. Safety first, kids.
Remove the glass tray and the circular turntable guide. Wash them both in warm, soapy water to get rid of anything stuck. Pay special attention to the rollers on your turntable guide, making sure they're able to spin freely.
Clean the internal cavity. Make sure to check your microwave's center cavity to make sure it's free of movement-hindering (and gross) leftover food.
Check that the drive bushing is working. Make sure that the drive bushing, the plastic mechanism in the bottom of the microwave's interior that the glass tray turns on, isn't worn out or split in two. If it is, you'll need to have it replaced.
Put it back together. Put the turntable guide back into the circular groove. Place the glass tray turntable over the turntable guide and onto the drive bushing. Adjust until the drive bushing should fits perfectly into the grooves of the glass tray.
Test it out. Zap a mug of water for a short bit to see if you fixed the problem. Do not run the microwave without anything in it.
use the common sense, and logically, fix it. God bless you Microwave Runs, Heats, but turntable does not move This is a
fairly easy one. First, make sure the turntable coupler under the glass
dish is not broken. Second, on the control board, find the turntable
relay and test for voltage. Some turntable motors are 24 volts DC, so
make sure your testing the correct voltage. If no voltage from the
control board, then replace the control board. Otherwise head towards
the turntable motor. On OTR models, you can get to the motor by
un-screwing the bottom panel on the microwave. On countertop models,
there will either be a knockout or screw on access panel. Check for
voltage at the motor. If no voltage, check the wiring back towards the
control. If voltage, then replace the turntable motor. The component
list below also shows how to test a turntable motor.
The turntable is a seperate intenty from the microwave itself, I would presume that the switch that turns off the turntable when the door is opened needs replacement.
Try the TURNTABLE ON/OFF pad. Touch this pad to turn off the turntable
or turn it back on. “OFF” will appear in the display when the turntable
is turned off.

Replace turntable motor. Not really that hard to replace or expensive. Remove all screws holding bottom panel (usually three across each side and one to three in front) to gain access to the turntable motor. The panel will hinge in the back.
