Microwave turntable not working right

We have a 3000RK with a convection microwave. The turntable inside is not turning evenly and kind of a herky jerky motion. Is it a loose belt or a bad motor getting ready to puke. Is there a tightener under the microwave that can be adjusted? Any ideas to the problem?

There is a belt, but make sure the glass plate is locked in the cog. Sometimes it gets displaced.

Some, many glass plates ride on a set of 3 wheels on a carrier. Dirt builds up in the track the wheels ride in.
Clean out the track as any dirt will tend to interfere with a smooth action resulting in a jerky motion sometimes stopping the plate.

Also clean the wheels themselves as dirt can stick to them.

I checked the cogs that the round glass sets on, and it is positioned properly. haven't checked the three wheels yet, but it definately seems to be skipping or slipping on the belt or something similar.
