If the Pioneer PL-Z94 turntable is not working, follow these troubleshooting steps:

1. Room Temperature: If the room temperature increases rapidly, condensation may form inside the unit, affecting performance. Let the unit stand for about one hour or gradually raise the room temperature before use.

2. Speaker Placement: Ensure the turntable is not placed directly on or against a speaker. Vibrations from the speaker can cause feedback. Keep speakers well isolated from the turntable.

3. Component Check: If internal inspection is needed, follow these steps:
- Close the dust cover and place the turntable upside down on a soft surface.
- Remove the R clip and arm clamp.
- Gently pull out the tonearm assembly.
- Remove the five screws labeled (D) to detach the under base.
- Remove screws labeled for the microswitch and motor assembly to inspect or replace components.

Always use identical replacement parts for safety when replacing components.

The Pioneer PL-Z94 turntable may not be spinning due to a problem with the servo motor. It sometimes starts spinning when turned manually, then stops after 2–3 minutes. This suggests a failing or weak motor.

To try to get it working:
1. Ensure it is properly connected to the cassette deck amplifier’s PHONO jacks and the DC 12V OUTPUT jack for power.
2. Let the unit sit for about an hour if recently moved from a cold to warm environment, to avoid condensation issues.
3. Check for any loose or faulty wiring to the motor.
4. If the motor is failing, replacing the servo motor may be possible but could be complex and not cost-effective.

If the motor replacement is difficult or expensive, it may be better to invest in a different turntable.
