Microwave Turntable Won't Turn

Sharp Carousel R-1870 turntable won't turn, so I'm thinking the motor needs replaced as the touch pad is new.

Does anyone have experience with R&R of the motor? Do I have to remove the entire microwave to work on it or can I just remove the bottom of the oven to access the drive motor?

Hi T-Man,

A quick search revealed a very similar issue where the carousel motor had failed and a simple motor replacement fixed the issue. Here is a link to the video; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvWWvaplQN8.

Good luck,

Yes, and it is indicating ON/OFF.  Thinking the control board now as you can't replace just the one relay.

WANTED....................Control Board for Sharp Microwave Model #R-1870

Just a quick update.....................I removed the turntable motor and tested it.  It's fine, and when I initially put everything back together and turned the oven on the turntable didn't work.  But I think the next time the oven was used it turned like it should, and it's been working ever since.

Thanks for your help.

Hi T-Man,

On our Sharp Convection /Microwave oven there is a button on the lower left of the control panel that says "turntable on/off". Is that not working?

Good Morning Jim,

Yes the ON/OFF button is working.  The problem was intermittent in the beginning, with turntable ON.
