if the turntable is not spinning at all then either the belt snapped or got so loose it fell off or if the table still spinns it might take a second to start up and will sound slow and playing a 45 will not sound right at all

How does a record player work?
Are you talking direct-driven, belt-driven, or clockwork driven (Gramophone) type of turntable, they all work differently.A clockwork-driven Gramophone uses a spring motor to drive the turntable, that would have to be wound-up to drive the turntable. A governor kept the speed of the constant and a speed control flywheel slowed or increased the speed of the turntable. The motor has a shaft that turns and the turntable is attached to the shaft, which spins the record that rests on the turntable. The reproducer with needle picks up the vibrations that are recorded in the bumps and curves in the record groove. The vibrations travel up the needle, through the reproducer, and to a diaphragm that vibrates to produce sound travels through a tube and out the horn.Modern Belt-drive turntables use an electric motor connected to a shaft that used a spring to turn the turntable. The Speed is changed by the motor speed either being increased or decreased. When using a ceramic cartridge, the movement of the needle back and forth in the groove bends tiny ceramic bars that produce minute electrical impulses, which are strengthened by an amplifier, which is then sent to an electromagnetic speaker. When using a "Moving-Magnetic" cartridge, the needle moving back and forth and up and down in the groove moves tiny magnets against each other producing electrical currents which are again strengthened by an amplifier and sent to speakers. When using a "Moving-Coil" cartridge, the needle compresses and retracts little springs that are attached to magnets which produce little electrical pulses, which are sent through an amplifier and to the speakers.A direct-drive turntable works almost like a Belt-drive, but the mechanism is a little different. The motor is attached to a tiny rubber-idler wheel which is touching the shaft that turns the turntable; when the idler spins 139 times faster than the turntable. The speed of the motor never changes, the speed-change is managed by moving the idler up the shaft (Faster Speed) or down the shaft (Slower Speed). Many direct-drive turntables also have a speed adjustments that move the idler by fine amounts (usually -0.5 and +0.5 RPM).
Do turntable cartridges come with the needle?

Why does a microwave oven turntable rotate in either direction?
The turntable in a microwave oven is driven by an alternating current motor which may start in either direction at random and continues to travel in that direction until stopping. The reason for using a turntable in a microwave oven is that the microwave energy is not evenly distributed across the oven. The turntable allows the food to receive an equal amount of energy by turning across the uneven microwave field. The microwave energy is turned to heat within the food. It actually does not matter in which direction the turntable rotates in order to evenly cook the food.

Can you get a motor to rotate a dishpan filled with water?
Surely the problem is more elaborate than that... Simply place the dishpan on a turntable (a flat platform that is mounted to a shaft and is able to turn on bearings), connect a pulley to the shaft of the turntable and connect a belt to a motor that will turn the turntable... then the dishpan will turn.
