NN-T994SF Panasonic Microwave - Instructions

My Panasonic Microwave (Inverter type) turntable would not turn. Saw some basic repairs on YouTube. Access to motor was not as easy, had to saw-off motor cover at the bottom of the microwave, after removing the motor cover removed the electrical leads to the motor, replaced with the new motor, put the leads back. Now to remove the motor you need to first remove electrical plug from the socket, remove glass plate and plastics adapter.

easy

The hardest part of the repair was opening the box.

Very simple. Cut away the bottom panel. Removed the single screw. The old motors can cause a dngerous shock (according to the Net)so I wore thin rubber gloves and used needle-nose pliers with insulated handles. Removed slip-on contacts. Reversed procedure to replace motor. It took me longer to find a self-tapping screw than to replace the mtor. All finished in less than 10 minutes.

Solution: Place tray on raised fitting moldings inside microwave. Issue: Our turntable broke "by itself" following us using our microwave without laying down any papertowel like we usually do. About a half-hour after being used to heat coffee, we heard a loud crack, and there it was in two pieces. We ordered the tray online from Parts Select, and got the replacement within 7 days.
