Customer Questions and Answers for Turntable Shaft (Mh-8) by Lg

This turntable shaft (MH-8) connects the microwave's turntable motor to the glass tray hub so the tray spins for even heating. Replace it when the tray won't rotate, slips intermittently, or makes grinding/clicking noises.

• Couples the turntable motor to the tray hub to drive rotation
• Helps ensure even cooking and defrosting by keeping the tray moving
• Typical symptoms: tray not turning, intermittent/jerky rotation, grinding or clicking from the cavity floor
• Damage indicators: cracks, melted/rounded drive surfaces, or excessive wobble

• Disconnect power to the microwave at the plug or breaker before servicing
• Remove the glass tray and roller ring to access the shaft
• Lift the old shaft straight up; if stuck, access the turntable motor from below to push it out
• Align and press the new shaft fully onto the motor spindle; reassemble and test rotation
