Microwave Turntable Motor
This component is designed to fit models featuring a D-shaped shaft. If your tray fails to rotate, it may be necessary to replace this motor. Frigidaire, along with its associated brands such as Crosley, Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and White Westinghouse, offers this Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part. It is crucial for proper turntable rotation in Frigidaire microwaves, which is essential for achieving uniform cooking and heating.
A malfunctioning motor can result in uneven heating or cooking since it disrupts the turntable's ability to distribute heat efficiently within the microwave.
Indicators of a faulty turntable motor include:
- The turntable remains still while the microwave operates.
- The turntable moves in a sporadic or irregular manner.
- There are unusual noises emanating from the turntable area during operation.
- Food appears unevenly cooked or heated, implying inconsistent turntable movement.
- The microwave functions normally aside from the turntable issue.
This replacement motor from Frigidaire is also compatible with select models from Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and specific Kenmore appliances.
