The drive motor was making a loud, horrible noise.
Simple as could be: unplug the microwave, remove 5 phillips screws to access the motor, remove the 2 phillips screws holding the motor in place, un-clip the motor from it's power supply, and reverse the process; you're done! It took all of 3 minutes to complete.

Microwave turntable didn't rotate.
I removed the 7 screws on the cover for it to drop down. Then disconnected the 2 plugs from the motor and removed 2 screws that was holding the motor in place. Connected the new motor to the plugs, screwed back in place, and then screwed the cover up. Total time: approximately 15 minutes. I suggest you put a towel on top of the stove for protection. Easy to do. Thank you.

Non working Cooking Tray
The ground shipping took less than three days. When I got home from work the part was at home. While I was having dinner I told my 17 year son to get a phillip screw driver. He unplugged the power from the wall. He removed five screw from the bottom of microwave. He then removed one screw from the drive motor, disconnected motor plug, reconnected the plug to the new motor, placed back one screw on the motor and screwed back the five screws. Tested the microwave and the tray was turning successfully. It took my son less than five minutes. Real easy and highly recommended.

Glass Cooking Tray motor failed - tray would not turn
Unplugged microwave (plugged in inside cabinet above so no need to kill the breaker)
Removed seven screws from bottom panel. (I suggest leaving the front center screw in to hold up the panel while removing the others.)
Removed two motor mounting screws. Removed plug from motor.
When removving the plug from the motor one of the metal connectors crimped on the end of the wire came out of the plug housing. Had to push it back into the housing before re-installing on new motor. To avoid this problem I suggest using a flat screwdriver to loosen the plug contacts from the motor before trying to pull the plug off.
I received the correct part in the amount of time promised. Great Service!

Microwave turntable would not rotate
Removed the bottom plate from the microwave(about 4-6 screws) to get to the turntable motor. Disconnected bad turntable motor and re-installed new motor. Then re-installed bottom plate. That simple! Thanks so much for your prompt delivery of my new turntable motor. Will definitely do business with you again.
