I have a model 721 80839500 Kenmore Elite Microwave. How do you make the carousal turn?
The turntable system
consists of the motor, the coupler, the turntable support with rollers,
and the tray.
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.
If you don't have your owner's manual, you can just enter your full
model number at the Sears
parts site.
A full
Sears/Kenmore model number has 3 digits, a dot, then 8 more digits,
such as ###.########
On the resulting page, look to the right for the blue "View manuals"
button. Click there.
That Sears-related site has many free manuals. While the manuals they
list there are all free, they will ask you to register.
Many times, the owner's manual will have the installation instructions
inside.
If yours is not listed there for free, you would have to order it
through the Sears
parts site.
That's where you could also order any needed parts and find handy exploded parts views.
