My turntable rotation had been intermittant for quite some time and eventually gave up turning altogether.
I fitted this new motor and it now works properly again.
It is very easy to fit through an access panel in the bottom of the microwave.
A few tips to be aware of -
1) You will need a self tapping screw to secure the panel when it is replaced. The screw is not supplied with the motor.
2) On the first removal the panel has to be snipped out in 4 positions. It is easy to do with a pair of wire cutters. Beware though because the tabs are very sharp once cut. I ran a small file across them to blunt them down a bit.
3) The 2 wires to the motor are colour coded and can be plugged either way round. Not sure if it matters but I noted the positions and replaced them the same way afterwards.
4)The motor is held in place by 2 screws. It is advisible to use a magnetic screwdriver and be careful they are not dropped inside the microwave. They are difficult to retrieve if you do (voice of experience here !).
5) To replace the panel just turn it round and locate two tabs into the slots in the base and then secure it with a self tapping screw.
Job done. Quick and easy.

The motor arrived very quickly and fitted perfectly. A small expenditure to avoid having to buy a new Panasonic.
QThe plate covering the turntable motor is fixed all the way round and is actually joined to the back. The plate would be easy to get off by breaking the areas where it is sealed but how can I fix it back on again please? There are no screws.1 Answer

I only broke 3/4 of the tabs and used the others as a hinge. refix by hinging down and bend tabs to hold in place. if not use some duct tape
