Turntable 'bumping' Noise

Our Whirlpool WMC30516AS turntable is making a "bumping" noise when it turns. It almost sounds like it's hitting something but it's not. When we first got our microwave it did the same thing, but was under warranty, so it was either fixed or replaced, but now that the warranty is out, it's doing it again. Can you help, please?

Hi. It can either be the motor or a cooked up ring under the turnable. It's just that working with a Microwave can be quite degerous since it can be found storing up to 3000 volts even when unpluged.
