GE Microwave Repair - Grinding and Humming Noises - Turntable Motor

[@zmodem4619]

I really wish the tech in this video would have ran the microwave for ~10 seconds, or demonstrated the issue visually and audibly. That would have been of tremendous importance for future diagnostic.

Dude, if the turntable is making "Noise" that it didn't make before, when it starts to turn, there is your diagnostic.... Mine just started making noise when it just starts turning, and I know its that little motor... :)

[@USCG.Brennan]

Interesting.....my GE microwave that looks similar to this one had a little vented trap door underneatht he unit in order to reach the turntable motor.....easy peasy! ;-)

If the noise is from the turntable motor shouldn't it be quiet if the turntable is set to not rotate? How does one troubleshoot if it is actually the turntable motor?

Awsome

[@letmesee2ify]

I replaced the turntable motor, still doesn't turn and the grinding didn't go away, could it be the motor on the top of the oven? My model is actually JVM1640BB002. Thanks for any help.

[@Appliancevideo]

Yes, that is a possibility the motor is the problem. I would shut the unit down and disconnect power to the motor and then see if the grinding stops. Sometimes the magnetron can make a grinding noise when its going out also. Start with the motor first.
