Default Fan motor runs backwards

Did you ever wonder why, if you select 45 seconds of heating, the
magnetron runs for 45 seconds but the motor continues to run for another
5 seconds after the magnetron is off? Because the turntable motor
always runs for an integer multiple of the turntable rotation period,
usually 10 seconds. So if you put something at the front of the
turntable, near the door, it will be in that position again when the
oven shuts off.

Ok, you got my interest up enough to try it. My Sharp turntable stops
when the timer reaches 0 no matter what it's rotational position.
Yours must be manufacturer specific.
