Can turn the spindle by hand, and tell that it's quite highly geared,
it's an 8 year old stainless Neff.Â* Since it's built-in and was
difficult to find one to fit, I'd prefer to repair rather than replace.

I realise the dangers from the capacitor until discharged, and the
beryllium oxide bits, and presume that making sure it's well and truly
back together before powering it back on avoids any trouble from
tripping the interlocks.

That said I expect to be able to get at the turntable motor/gearbox
without going near the "active" end ... any other gotchas?



I have had two similar failures. Both times of a little synchronous
motor. Easily accessed from underneath via an access panel.

No need to go anywhere near the hot bits.

This type of thing
