ION turntable volume is low when plugged into a receiver
The volume is low when plugged into a receiver. The CD player and radio play at a normal volume. I have to turn the volume up almost to the maximum to be able to adequately hear the turntable. I've tried switching where I've plugged in the turntable and the CD player, so I know the problem isn't in the receiver.

Either the cartridge has failed, or an internal amp in the record deck has, or despite what you say the receiver has. I will clarify this for you. Magnetic cartridges need a pre-amp before it gets amplified by the pre-amp and power amp of your reciever. If that pre-amp fails you will still hear the low sound from the deck, but all others cd/tape would be normal as they don't go into the deck pre-amp.
All you need to is trace the circuit. Find the magnetic cartridge pre-amp and find where it joins with the pre-amp of the amp! If you stick a screwdriver at that point, you will get a buzz at normal volume on each channel. The cartridge pre-amp has gone if you do get a buzz!
You probably find it's a single IC that's gone, some are prone to static problems.
