The most common problem with the DZ's has been the sensor and the sensor disk. You could start there in regards to troubleshooting, or just take it to an authorized dealer and get an estimate.

The sensor & sensor disc have nothing to do with the platter spinning - they just tell the computer how fast the platter spins & where it is relative to itself & the music (if that makes sense)

My guess (& it is a guess) is that it is whatever controls (or makes) the platter spin. Not so much the motor I would think, but some sort of controller board or PCB.
I would either do what Tiger said & take it to an authorized repair center - or download the service manual & find out what drives (or tells) the platter to spin...

keep us posted
