Sony PS-FL7II front-loading turntable / record player

I just brought a new Record Player and the Turntable will not start. How do I fix this?

Everything is plugged in and I can put a record on the spindle and manually turn it and have the music come through the speakers. I also hear the "click" when I bring the arm over to start the table turning.
It is an Emerson Heritage NR303TT.

Take out the platter. Underneath, you will see a belt that drives the centre spindle of the platter. It is attached to the motor.
Either it has slipped or has snapped. Repair or replace.

Looks like everything else is ok, it is just not turning.

You can check to see whether the motor runs when you turn it on. If yes, obviously everything is working fine and all you need is the belt.

If you do not know where to get it, go to the makers' website and order the part.

If you cannot locate the platter's spindle, then sometimes, it is run by a rack and pinion (gears) arrangement that drives the platter. It may have a rubber wheel at its head. Inspect that. It should engage on the inside lip of the platter. You did not say what your make is - I can help you better if you give that info.
