My Dacor MW is acting up. What has been an intermittant problem is now become more frequent. The problem is that when I start the MW, using the easy minute button, the fan comes on but the turntable will not turn nor will things get hot. Thats 2 problems. I can manually turn the turntable till I hear the motor turn and then start the MW again and things all work for a few times. I guess that I have a turntable motor problem but my question is, is there a safty feature that will not let the oven heat if the turntable does not turn?

Best to all,
Johnds

Hi Johnds,

There is no such safety future but the electrical problem with the turn table motor is affecting the current needed for the high voltage part of the microwave.

- The part number for the turn table motor is AP3394866

Is it possible for a guy handy with tools to change that motor?

Thanks

This part is not too difficult to replace yourself.

Remove the turn table and the support. Turn the microwave upside down and will see how to do it.

Thanks,

I will get the part on order Monday.

Gene,

I accessed the turntable motor. I checked the voltage when I started the microwave. No voltage but the system fan started and the light came on. I also tried the convection heating mode and the result was the same. The system fan and light came on but no heat or voltage to the turntable motor. Got any ideas. It is not the turntable motor.

I have removed the MW case and checked for loose connections and have found not.

Thanks
Johnds

Hi Johnds,

The turn table motor and the oven light operated by the same relay (RY1) on the control board and if the light goes "on" but turn table does not - the problem is the motor or the wires to the motor.

If the oven light and the fan came on but there is no heat (especially on both the microwave and the convection modes) - the problem is the bad control unit.

- The part number for the control unit is AP3395579

I there a wiring diagram available on line for this MW?

Thanks,

It suppose to be inside the control panel.
