Fault Cause Action
Turntable fails to re- 1. No power supply reaching motor. Check supply with voltmeter. If correct,
volve. check action of motor switch (52), tightness
of wire links (40) and all connections.
2. Discontinuity of motor coil winding(s). Check resistance with ohm-meter. Connected for
220/250 volts, reading should be approximately 400
ohms and for 110/125 volts, approximately 100 ohms.
Replace coil(s) if necessary.
3. Intermediate wheel tension spring (15) Replace or re-secure spring.
