The carousel (turntable) motor of the Panasonic inverter microwave usually breaks after a few years of usage. The insulation in the coil windings will eventually decay causing a short or a open in the motor windings.
To replace the motor, unplug the microwave and cut out the bottom panel by clipping between the two holes with a wire cutter.
Purchase a new TYJ50-8 motor from eBay and make sure it has the same specs. Replace the motor and reconnect the wire. Screw the bottom panel (backwards) sliding the two tabs into the two slots on one side and the hole on the other and attaching the panel with a screw in the hole.
Looking at the manufacturing date (2007), the new motor should last 8 years.
