How hard is it to change a turntable motor on a micro/convec oven?

It is there! Go to appliancepartspros.com and check out the plans for the location of all parts. Then get to it.

Power to the turntable motor is supplied by a relay mounted on the main control board ( the part behind the control panel). Sounds like the relay contacts are stuck in the closed (on) position. You can try getting to the main board and tap the small box looking parts on the board with something like a screwdriver handle and see if you can get it to unstick. If that doesn't work---board needs replaced.

HI.oven has a small DC motor thats turns the turnatable..Now if turntable does not rotate then yuo need to remove the bottom cover of the oven..Unscrew it and check if motor is working ..You can check continuity of the motor using a MULTITESTER..If it is short-circuited or not.Hope this helps.FAN and turntable is being run by this DC motor..Hope this helps.

Hi,

It sounds like one of the door micro switches is bad. There are three micro switches typically. A primary interlock, a secondary interlock and a monitor switch. It is most likely the primary or secondary interlock switch. You may need to take your switches to a professional appliance shop to determine which one is bad.


Let me know,if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

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

With this oven being a combi ventilation and extraction is important, the haze across the plate is
surplus heat, It not cooking but what you hear is the extraction fan running until the oven cavity has cooled down

probably a failed turntable motor, check for power at motor

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

It's almost certainly not a switch issue. If the primary interlock (lower door switch) were bad, the turntable and cooling fan would not come on and it would not heat.

If it heats, but the turntable won't work, the motor is likely bad.

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