Kitchenaid Microwave Motor

The Turntable Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. This motor is responsible for rotating the microwave turntable, ensuring even heating of food by allowing it to rotate during the cooking process. It is located beneath the turntable and engages with the turntable coupler to facilitate smooth rotation. Installation of this motor may need a Torx driver. If a small stud is present in the center of the Torx screw, a security torx bit will be necessary for the replacement of those screws. 

Causes of a bad turntable motor can include wear and tear from regular use, electrical failures, or physical damage due to overloading or mishandling. These issues can result in the turntable not rotating properly, leading to uneven heating.

Symptoms of a bad turntable motor include:

• Turntable not rotating
• Uneven cooking or heating of food
• Unusual noises coming from the motor area
• The microwave displaying error codes related to the turntable

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore models.

The Fan Motor is an OEM part compatible with Whirlpool microwave ovens. It is a crucial component responsible for circulating air and ventilating the interior of the microwave during operation. The fan motor ensures proper air flow, which helps regulate temperature and prevent overheating.

Symptoms of a bad Fan Motor include:

• Inadequate ventilation or poor air circulation within the microwave
• Overheating issues or unusual odors during use
• Excessive noise or rattling sounds coming from the fan area
• Complete failure of the fan to operate or turn on

Causes of a bad fan motor can range from bearing failure due to wear and tear over time, to physical damage from impact or debris buildup. Electrical issues, such as voltage fluctuations or component failures, can also contribute to the malfunction of the fan motor.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore microwave models. 

This convection fan motor assembly circulates air inside the microwave's convection oven cavity to promote even cooking and browning. It replaces a failed fan motor to restore proper airflow for convection cooking performance. What it does:

• Circulates heated air across the oven cavity for more even baking and roasting
• Aids in consistent temperature distribution during convection cycles
• Stops or reduces overheating by moving hot air away from internal components
• Common symptoms: no convection airflow, uneven cooking/browning, humming or grinding noise from fan area

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Handle sharp sheet-metal edges and the assembly carefully to avoid cuts
• Verify connector orientation and secure wiring; do not force connectors

This evaporator fan moves cold air across the evaporator and through the refrigerator cabinet to keep temperatures even and food properly chilled. Replacing a failing fan restores airflow and helps the cooling system work efficiently. What it does:

• Circulates cold air from the evaporator to maintain even temperatures in the fresh-food and freezer compartments
• Promotes proper defrosting by moving air over the evaporator coils
• Reduces frost buildup and helps the compressor run less frequently when working correctly
• Common symptoms of a bad fan: loud or unusual noise from the fridge, warm compartments, or uneven cooling

• One evaporator fan assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Remove interior panels or shelving as needed to access the evaporator fan; follow OEM instructions for disassembly
• Handle evaporator coil area and sheet metal with care—sharp edges can cause injury
• After installation, restore power and check for improved cooling and absence of abnormal noise

The Motor-Turn is an OEM part compatible with Whirlpool microwaves. Located inside the microwave cavity on the turntable mechanism, the motor-turn contains the turntable motor and drive components. 

Causes of a bad motor-turn can include a faulty motor, worn gears or pulleys, or broken turntable shaft. 

Symptoms of a bad motor-turn include:

• The turntable not rotating or rotating unevenly
• Loud grinding noises emanating from inside the cavity
• Burning or uneven cooking of foods
• Traces of sparks near the turntable mechanism

This OEM Whirlpool replacement motor-turn assembly is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore microwaves.
