Hi, short answer, most likely fault is an earth path across the turntable motor "making" the required electrical circuit. Most likely cause a spillage in the cavity running down through to the motor. This will cause these symptoms. Remember if you plan to fix it youself even unplugged devices can kill. It is a 4000VDc machine and not amateur friendly.
kindest regards
