Dacor Microwave turntable not turning
If your Dacor microwave turntable is not turning, the turntable motor is the most likely cause. Unplug the microwave and use a multimeter to test the motor for continuity. If the motor lacks continuity, replace it. A broken or stripped glass tray drive coupling is another common reason the microwave plate is not turning, so gently remove the coupling from the motor shaft and inspect it for damage. Next, check the glass tray support, also called the turntable ring or roller guide, for cracks or stripped sections. If the motor does not receive incoming power, the Dacor user control and display board or main control board may be defective, although either board is less likely than the motor. Also confirm that the turntable option is enabled if your model has that setting. A working turntable helps distribute microwave energy and prevents uneven heating and hot spots. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your Dacor microwave. Any repair that requires opening the outer cabinet must be handled carefully because the high-voltage capacitor can store a lethal charge even when unplugged. Proper capacitor discharge is required before interior work, and a qualified technician should perform the repair if you are not familiar with that procedure.

04 - Dacor Microwave User Control and Display Board
The user control and display board might be defective. However, the turntable motor is much more likely to be at fault. First, test the incoming power to the turntable motor. If the motor is not getting power, the user control and display board may be defective. If the user control and display board is defective, replace it.

05 - Turntable option turned off
When the microwave turntable turns, the food is cooked evenly. If the turntable stops turning there may be hot spots where the microwaves are concentrated in one area. If the turntable is not turning, confirm the turntable option is turned on (if applicable).

06 - Dacor Microwave Control Board
The control might be defective. However, the turntable motor is much more likely to be at fault. First, check the incoming power to the turntable motor. If the turntable motor is not getting power, the main control board may be at fault.
