Parts for Kitchenaid KMLS311HBS8: Turntable Parts

*** Note: This glass tray has 3 triangles to engage the coupler. In some cases, the factory used a tray that has 3 partial-circles. For that glass tray use part# 4393799. ***

The Glass Tray is an OEM part for Whirlpool built-in microwaves. This heat-resistant glass plate helps distribute incoming microwave energy evenly throughout cooking cycles. 

Causes include normal thermal stress cracks from rapidly changing microwave temperatures daily. Accidental impact damage is also possible if rack assemblies are mishandled.

Symptoms of a problematic glass tray include:

• Inconsistent or inadequate microwaving of certain foods
• Hotter or cooler areas noticed depending on placement
• Visible corrosion, cracks or pitting of the tray surface over time
• Sparking, arcing or strange noises from inside the microwave cavity

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

This foam seal cushions and fills gaps around the cabinet or door trim to reduce vibration, block drafts, and help prevent moisture and dust intrusion. It restores a snug fit where worn or missing foam allows movement or air leaks. What it does

• Provides a compressible barrier between panels or trim to reduce rattles and vibration.
• Helps block drafts and limits dust, moisture, and light infiltration at seams.
• Restores proper spacing and alignment for doors or panels that rely on foam padding.
• Commonly replaced when foam is crushed, torn, or missing.

• One foam seal.

• Disconnect power and empty the area if the repair requires panel or door removal.
• Remove all old foam and adhesive; clean surfaces thoroughly before installing the new seal.
• Press or align the foam into place; use approved adhesive if the OEM specifies glue or clips.
• Verify a proper seal and operation before returning the appliance to service.

This Inlet Cover shields and seals the appliance's inlet opening to maintain proper flow and keep debris out. Replacing a cracked or missing cover helps prevent leaks, rattles, and performance issues for reliable day-to-day operation. What it does

• Covers and protects the inlet passage so air or water flows correctly
• Helps keep debris out of the system and supports proper sealing
• Reduces the chance of leaks, drips, or vibration noise
• Common symptoms: visible damage or missing cover, leaks near the inlet area, unusual noise, reduced performance

• 1 inlet cover

• Disconnect power; shut off water supply if applicable
• Access the inlet area and remove any screws/clips holding the old cover
• Transfer any reusable gasket or hardware and orient the new cover correctly
• Tighten fasteners evenly; restore power/water and check for proper operation and leaks

A small mounting spacer that keeps components aligned and prevents abrasion inside your appliance. Replacing a cracked or missing spacer restores proper clearance, helping reduce noise and premature wear on nearby parts. What it does:

• Positions and supports adjacent parts to maintain correct spacing and alignment
• Prevents metal-on-metal contact and rubbing that can cause noise or damage
• Helps maintain smooth operation of moving components by reducing friction
• Commonly replaced when a spacer is cracked, deformed, or missing

• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before servicing the appliance
• Note the spacer orientation and location before removal so the replacement installs the same way
• Basic hand tools are typically required; handle small parts carefully to avoid loss

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.
