Symptoms of a bad tray motor include: 

• Turntable tray not spinning or rotating unevenly
• "Turntable On" indicator blinking or remaining constantly lit  
• Burnt or cold spots on cooked food items
• Loud grinding or clicking noises coming from inside

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore microwave models.
