Litton Microwave turntable not turning
If your Litton microwave turntable is not turning, the turntable motor is the most likely cause. Unplug the microwave and use a multimeter to test the motor for continuity. If it has no continuity, replace the motor. Next, inspect the glass tray drive coupling and glass tray support for cracks, stripped teeth, or other damage, since either part can prevent the microwave plate from turning. Also confirm the turntable option is enabled if your model has that setting. If the motor does not receive incoming power, the user control and display board or main control board may be defective, although either board is less likely than the motor. A stationary turntable can create hot spots and uneven cooking, so avoid using the microwave until the problem is corrected. Enter your Litton microwave model number to find the exact replacement turntable motor, coupling, support, or control board for your appliance. Some repairs require removing the outer cabinet. The high-voltage capacitor inside a microwave can store a lethal charge even after the appliance is unplugged, so it must be properly discharged before interior work. If you are not familiar with capacitor discharge procedures, have a qualified technician perform the repair.

The control might be defective. However, the turntable motor is much more likely to be at fault. First, check the incoming power to the turntable motor. If the turntable motor is not getting power, the main control board may be at fault.

07 - Litton Microwave Touchpad and Control Panel
The touchpad and control panel might be defective. However, the turntable motor is much more likely to be at fault. First, test the turntable motor. If the motor is not defective, it is possible that the touchpad and control panel are defective. To determine if the touchpad and control panel are defective, try pressing each of the buttons on the control panel. If some of the buttons respond correctly while others don’t, replace the touchpad and control panel.
