The Turntable Motor is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It is responsible for rotating the glass turntable plate during cooking, ensuring food is evenly heated throughout the microwave cavity.
Symptoms of a bad turntable motor include:
- The turntable not spinning at all or rotating unevenly
- Loud grinding or clicking noises coming from the motor area
- The turntable plate wobbles excessively during the operation
Causes can be normal wear and tear over time from continuous use, failure of electronic components in the motor, or damage from heavy loads or impact. This GE replacement motor restores even cooking performance.
This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models. Replace yours today before a minor problem becomes a major repair bill. Continued use without a properly functioning turntable can damage other microwave components.
