1. the motor to rotate the glass table in the micro wave may have stop working or the switch to the motor is defective.

YOU CAN TRY REMOVING THE GLASS TRAY AND TURNTABLE AND REPLACING IT WITH YOUR OLD GLASS TRAY (IF YOU HAD ONE) OR JUST ANY GLASS MICROWAVE TRAY. WITHOUT THE TURNTABLE, I CAN'T SEE HOW IT CAN ROTATE.

Make sure the glass platter is correctly seated on the plastic drive. Now gently press down on the platter and see if it resists turning. If the platter turned easily, the plastic drive is spinning on the motor shaft and needs replaced. If the platter resists movement, the motor under the floor needs to be replaced.To replace either part visit the web site www.partselect.com If you found any of these suggestions helpful, please rate my solution.

If the microwave comes with a roller ring to rotate the glass turntable then I would recommend that it needs to be used when the microwave is operating, as the turntable rotates the food so it can be heated evenly.

I would recommend checking with your local Panasonic repairer he may have access to a new roller or even a second hand one to tide you over.

If everything works, light and micro heating.. then I have 4 possibles for you to check... 1st make sure you don't have a button that allow you to turn the turntable on/off... 2nd take the glass table out and check the center plastic spinner(pull it out) and see if its broken. 3rd your turntable motor is bad, and 4th the relay for your turntable on control board is bad... helpfully that will do it for ya.. good luck.. mike

Sure, as long as the dimensions are comparable to your original one's.

Even though these are discontinued, there are apparently a few places where you can still get one of these as "new old stock".

The proper part numbers are either MW-7600-11 or MW-7600-12 and you can order one by part number here.

It may take a week or two, and they may reply back that they were unable to find one, in which case they will not charge you.

If you can't find one, you can check eBay or Wal-Mart and other stores to see if they have a Rubbermaid or Nordic Ware (NordicWare) wind-up turntable like this "Micro-Go-Round". (I've seen them at Wal-Mart).

In some cases, two microwave-safe plates can serve as a makeshift replacement for a missing tray. You have to find a saucer that fits securely on your turntable support, though. I've attached a photo of that, too.

Good luck.

That model number isn't showing up. Could you confirm that?

Then I'll see if anything is still available for it.

Otherwise, here are two suggestions:

You place a microwave-safe saucer upside-down on the roller assembly (if equipped) and then put a microwave-safe plate right-side up on top of the saucer. You can also use another glass turntable tray that doesn't fit instead of the plate.

Be sure both are centered, checking them frequently to be sure shifting does not occur. Otherwise, a spill of hot material could result.



Another option is to check eBay or Wal-Mart and other stores to see if they have a Rubbermaid or Nordic Ware (NordicWare) wind-up turntable like this "Micro-Go-Round".
