My turntable stopped working
I read several customer reviews before starting the repair. Removed the old drive motor to make sure I was ordering the correct part. Removal consisted of removing the screws on the bottom plate, disconnecting the electrical plug from the motor, and removing the one screw that attached the motor to the housing. Installation of the new motor was the reverse.

glass cooking tray stopped rotating
I removed the microwave oven from the wall by unscrewing a trim plate or frame that surrounds the face of the oven. Pulled the oven out of the cabinet. Removed the glass cooking tray and rollers from the oven interior. Turned the oven on its side to expose the bottom. I unscrewed the small cover plate in the middle of the bottom which exposed the turn table motor. The motor was attached by two screws and a connector plug. In a couple minutes I removed the motor and replaced it with the new one and reassembled the oven. I put it back in the cabinet and it works like new again.

Cooking Tray stopped turning, motor rattled
Removed the screws holding the bottom cover on, removed screws holding motor in place, replaced motor, put everything back in. Simple as changing batteries.
The nice thing is that PartSelect, as always, delivered exactly what I needed and very fast. Ordered on a Wednesday and received it on Thursday (the very next day!)

Grinding noise, tray didn't always turn.
Repair was simple. Remove screws on bottom panel of microwave, let cover hang on hinges. Remove two screws from drive motor, remove old motor, insert new motor, replace two screws, then reattach bottom panel. Done!
Quiet has returned to my microwave:-)
I also discovered that the (night light) bulbs are much easier to replace when the bottom panel is lowered.

Noisy cooking tray while spinning
7 screws, lowered the bottom and replaced the motor with two more screws. It was fairly easy and I'm pretty proud of myself.
The installers grouted in my above the top microwave so the bottom didn't hinge down as easily as it should have. But it worked.
