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.

It may be the motor or the coupler or support.

To replace either, you need to unplug power, then remove the bottom cover of the oven.

In some brands, you have to cut the motor cover off with snips, then use a screw when reassembling it.

You can find links to helpful exploded view diagrams and part ordering help here.

I recommend that you bookmark that link to your favorites.

Maytag microwave turntable doesn't operate

Does everything else work?? If so, its just the turntable motor, simple to replace. there are three or four screws under the bottom. UNPLUG the microwave first.

Double check before ordering...but ..

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.

To replace either, you need to unplug power, then remove the bottom cover of the oven.

On some, you have to cut the motor cover off with snips, then use a screw when reassembling it.

I purchased a panasonic nnsd797s inverter microwave in Febr 2010. The turntable appears to have been the source of noises for the past few months. It quited down for a while, but is not louder than ever...

The turntable motors cannot be lubricated, only replaced. The popping noises you mention, is that from the motor or from the microwave arcing??? Unplug the turntable motor and put a cup of water into the unit and run it for a little bit and listen, if it is stil popping you may have other issues.

Turntables doesn't work and makes horrible noise

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.

Maytag MMV1153AAW microwave

I have the same problem with mine!!! I spent 58 dollars to have a 6 dollar diode replaced. Now 8 months later... same prob. Replaced again myself and working fine again. Just make sure you label the wires while working on it. I didn't and it cost me 2 new fuses! Hope this helps.
