Turntable motor - most likely cause?
Hello My very old NN3800 has died. First the lamp blew. Then the internal fuse in the power supply blew (spectacularly). A new fuse met the same fate immediately when attempting to heat anything. The unit momentarily tried to start and then blew the fuse. So, if I spend £25 or so (new motor, bulb & fuse) and get this going I shall be very pleased but how likely is it that the turntable motor is the problem? Also, much of the foam that forms barriers, compartments and seals within the casing has disintegrated through age. Is this a problem? Any advice gratefully received. Thanks.

The turntable motor is unlikely to be the cause of your problem and if you take off the connections and measure with a meter you would be easily able to identify a short circuit. The fault is more likely to be one of the door switches stuck or a fault with the high voltage section. We suggest due to the extremely high and dangerous voltages in microwaves you do not attempt a repair in this area.
