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.
