It didn't happen instantaneously, at first it would turn a bit & stop while making grinding noise. So I assume it's not controls issue but some part of the drive failing. So, I have a couple of questions: 1) what could possibly fail. I am not familiar with design of turntable drive, is there anything other than motor (clutch / transmission of some sort) that could fail ? I am sure motor is dead by now anyway, it makes no noise anymore. 2) can anyone point me to the diagram with correct part #s 3) Is it possible to repair this without taking microwave off the wall. I'd rather not do it. I can disconnect the power at breaker & I have access to bottom and front but not back. Thanks !

Take two screws, holding the turn table motor out, pull out the motor. With the motor out turn the microwave on. If the motor turns - replace the coupler(plastic part above the motor).The access to it from inside the microwave. The turn table motor Part number: AP2024962 The coupler Part number: AP2016748 Her are the breakdown diagram and Replacement parts for General Electric JVM1650BB001 Counter top microwave \| AppliancePartsPros.com Thank you.
