Re: Model PTC153B35AJ Fan motor is seized! How do you get...
It's due to bearing struck. Remove motor and replace bearings, if the windings are good. If not you have replace motor only. Call repairman nearest to you. Thanks.

It sounds like you seized the motor, the motor was more then likely a 2 stroke and needed to have oil mixed with the gas and maybe the mixture was off and caused it to lean-out and seized the motor. You can pull out the spark plug and put 3 ounces of engine oil in the cylinder and let it sit for a couple of days to see if it will free up, if it does then tip it upside down to drain the oil back out,put plug back in and start it up.

I would wonder if it's the internal cooling which comes on automatically whenever you microwave or the hood vent exhaust fan, which you can turn
on and off manually.
It is vital that the
cooling fan runs, or the turntable and stirrer won't work, and magnetron will soon be destroyed.

You will have to pull out the light engine. That will consist of 4 or more screws and disconnecting some plugs. The the whole unit slides out where you can get to the fan housing.
Unless you're mechanically inclined, you should not try it as you could damage the assembly.
I don't know the part number off hand and some of those have newer part numbers as replacement for the original. Just do a google search to come up with a part number.
