General Electric Microwave Tray & Related

The Turntable Coupler is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It is located underneath the glass turntable in the microwave cavity. It is responsible for transmitting the rotational motion from the motor to the turntable, allowing for even heating and cooking of food.

Causes of a faulty or damaged turntable coupler can include regular wear and tear, physical damage, or improper installation. These factors can result in issues such as the turntable not rotating or spinning irregularly during operation.

Symptoms of a bad turntable coupler may include:

• The turntable not rotating when the microwave is in use
• Uneven or jerky movement of the turntable
• Excessive noise or vibration during operation

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Rotating Ring Assembly is an OEM part for GE microwaves. This part supports the microwave's glass tray, enabling it to rotate smoothly during operation. The rotating ring assembly ensures even cooking or heating by distributing microwave energy uniformly across the food.  

Causes of a bad rotating ring assembly can include cracks or breaks in the ring itself, worn-out rollers from continuous use, or debris accumulation that hinders smooth rotation.  

Symptoms of a bad Rotating Ring Assembly include:

• The microwave's glass tray not rotating or rotating unevenly.
• Unusual noises coming from the bottom of the microwave where the ring is located.
• Inconsistent cooking or heating of food, leading to cold spots.
• Difficulty in turning the glass tray by hand when the microwave is off, indicating obstruction or damage to the ring assembly.

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This turntable support ring sits beneath the microwave's glass tray and rides on small rollers to enable smooth rotation. Replacing a worn ring restores stable, quiet turning for more consistent heating and helps prevent tray wobble.

• Supports the glass tray and allows it to rotate smoothly
• Helps maintain even heating by keeping the tray centered and turning
• Common symptoms: tray not turning or stopping intermittently; tray wobbling or slipping
• Reduces grinding or squeaking caused by a worn ring

• Disconnect power by unplugging the unit or switching off the circuit breaker
• Remove the glass tray; lift out the old ring and clean the track
• Position the new ring with the rollers facing up and seated evenly
• Reinstall the glass tray and verify free rotation before restoring power

This rack holder supports the removable rack inside the appliance cavity, keeping it level and secure during use. Replace a cracked or missing holder to restore proper rack positioning and safer, more reliable operation.

• Provides a fixed support point for the rack inside the cavity
• Keeps the rack level and prevents tipping or slipping
• Helps the rack slide in and out correctly when supports are intact
• Common signs to replace: rack won't stay in place, tilts or falls, visible damage or missing holder

• Disconnect power and allow the appliance to cool completely before servicing
• Remove the rack to access the holder
• Remove the fastener(s), note orientation, and swap in the new holder
• Reinstall the rack and confirm it sits securely before use

Guide roller (TT) supports the appliance drum and keeps it aligned for smooth rotation. Replacing a worn guide roller reduces noise, prevents rubbing, and helps restore proper drum tracking. What it does:

• Supports and guides the drum/tub so it spins smoothly and stays centered.
• Reduces metal-on-metal rubbing and squeaking caused by worn rollers or bearings.
• Helps prevent uneven wear on the drum, belt, and seals.
• Improves drum tracking and overall operation when worn or damaged.

• Disconnect electrical power (and turn off gas supply on gas models) before starting any repair.
• Access may require removing the dryer cabinet or drum.
• Inspect other rollers, shafts, bearings, and the drive belt; replace as needed to avoid repeat failures.
• Use appropriate hand tools and support the drum during removal to avoid damage or injury.

This turntable coupler connects the microwave's turntable motor to the glass tray to drive smooth rotation during cooking. Replacing a worn coupler restores even heating and prevents the tray from slipping, stalling, or wobbling. What it does:

• Transfers rotation from the turntable motor to the glass tray
• Centers and supports the tray for stable, even spinning
• When worn or cracked, may cause the turntable not to turn, slip, wobble, or click/grind at the center hub
• Helps restore consistent heating by ensuring proper tray movement

• 1 turntable coupler

• Disconnect power by unplugging the microwave or switching off the breaker before service
• Remove the glass tray and roller ring; lift the old coupler straight up off the motor shaft
• Align the new coupler with the shaft and press firmly until fully seated

Shaft assembly that transfers rotational force from the motor to the appliance's rotating component, restoring smooth, aligned rotation and helping reduce noise and vibration caused by worn or damaged shaft parts. What it does:

• Transfers motor rotation to the appliance's rotating component (drum, basket or agitator depending on model)
• Restores proper alignment to reduce wobble and vibration during operation
• Helps stop grinding, scraping or loud knocking that can occur when a shaft is worn or damaged
• Works with existing bearings/bushings to maintain smooth rotation

• Always disconnect power at the breaker before removing panels or working on the appliance; if the appliance uses gas, shut off the gas supply as required.
• Follow the appliance service manual for disassembly order and correct shaft orientation during installation.
• Inspect related bearings, bushings, seals and fasteners; replace any worn components to prevent premature failure.

Guide roller assembly that restores smooth, stable movement for a sliding rack or appliance drawer. Replaces worn or broken rollers to reduce sticking, grinding, or misalignment during use. What it does:

• Guides a sliding rack/drawer so it opens and closes evenly without binding
• Helps stop noisy or jerky movement caused by damaged or worn rollers
• Restores proper alignment to prevent racks from slipping or dropping
• Used where a roller rides along a track or guide to support smooth travel

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) and remove any loose items from the appliance before beginning.
• Remove the affected rack/drawer or access panel to reach the guide; keep mounting hardware for reuse unless damaged.
• Align the guide and reinstall hardware securely; test the rack/drawer movement before completing reassembly.
• If mounting clips or brackets are broken, replace those parts as needed for a secure fit.
