Amana Microwave turntable not turning
When your Amana microwave turntable is not turning, the turntable motor is the most likely cause. Unplug the microwave and test the motor for continuity with a multimeter; replace it if it fails the test. If the motor is good, inspect the glass tray drive coupling for broken or stripped teeth, then check the glass tray support, turntable ring, and roller guide for damage or misalignment. Also confirm that the turntable option is turned on, if your Amana model has that setting. If the motor is not receiving power, the user control and display board may be defective, although the motor remains more likely to fail. The main control board is another possible cause when power is not reaching the motor. These checks can solve a microwave turntable not turning, microwave not spinning, or glass plate not turning problem. Enter your model number to find the exact Amana replacement part for your microwave. If testing requires opening the outer cabinet, stop unless you know proper capacitor discharge procedures. The high-voltage capacitor can store a lethal charge even after the microwave is unplugged, so interior work may require a qualified technician.
