the turntable in my cmw-200 has stopped spinning completely, just sits there even on microwave mode

— asked by Jamie

Quick answer: The issue is either a failed turntable motor or a physical jam. The most common cause is a seized motor due to grease drying out or a failed internal drive gear.

Diagnosis

The issue is either a failed turntable motor or a physical jam. The most common cause is a seized motor due to grease drying out or a failed internal drive gear.

How to Fix It

First, rule out a simple jam. Unplug the oven. Remove the glass tray and roller ring. Manually try to rotate the central hub underneath with your fingers. If it does not turn, inspect for food debris or a broken piece of the roller ring lodged in the mechanism. Clear any debris.

If That Didn't Work

If the hub is clear but the motor still does not run when powered, the turntable motor is defective. This motor is located directly beneath the oven floor and is a replaceable component. You must source the specific motor for the CMW-200.

Heads Up

Operating the microwave without a spinning turntable will result in extremely uneven cooking. Do not bypass this function. The motor is a low-voltage component; do not apply power to it directly during testing.
