Thomas G Ottawa , IL March 19, 2014 Turntable not spinning Start bye removing the three screws that hold the underside of the microwave up. Once those are undone, the panel pivots down. You then need to un-attach the lights so the panel will totally come off and out of the way. The motor is plainly visible. Remove the power plug and remove the one screw then it twists out of its slot. Install the new motor and reverse the directions.

Steven F Milan , OH April 05, 2014 Microwave turntable stopped turning I checked that the microwave was delivering voltage to the motor, which it was. There was only one screw holding the motor in place so removal was a breeze. Ordered the replacement motor from APPros. Super fast delivery!

Michelle Q Billings , MT March 08, 2016 Appliance: Frigidaire Microwave PLMV169DCD Noisy microwave turntable Easy fix- it was the turntable motor. It would grind and groan when spinning, and stop when I pushed the turntable off button. The part came in just a couple of days and the fix took me about 10 minutes. A few Philips head screws to remove the bottom panel. A few more screws to remove and replace the motor. Perfectly spinning quiet turntable now!
