Microwave turntable problem

vfairbrass

I have a Hinari Lifestyle MX315 microwave - 5 years old- and the turntable has stopped revolving although everything else seems to function OK. I have done a quick search on Google for a replacement turntable motor but cannot find a Hinari website or any spares suppliers who sell them. Does anyone know how I can find out where to get one. Is it essential that the turntable revolves?

No, the turntable doesn't need to turn, just helps the food cook better and faster. If you're gonna use it without a working turntable then stop it every min or two to turn the food.

The motor itself might be fine, could just be some gearing that has come out of place or is damaged. Unfortunatly, I doubt you'd be able to get spares, even from the manufacturer. If you're gonna take it apart be very careful due to the radiation and high volatages in capacitors
