Whirlpool Turntable Motor WPDE31-10172A OEM Part

Description of the Microwave Turntable Motor:

Positioned below the cooking chamber of a microwave, the turntable motor plays a vital role in enabling the turntable's rotation. This movement is crucial for ensuring that food heats and cooks evenly. The motor operates in conjunction with signals from the microwave's control panel and collaborates with other internal components to maintain steady and consistent turntable motion.

Whirlpool produces a wide array of products under various brands such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Samsung drive motor, as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part, is designed to substitute defective motors in these appliances.

This Samsung drive motor is also compatible with models from Kenmore/Sears.

Common Problems Solved by Motor Replacement:

1. The turntable does not rotate or rotates unevenly.
2. An unusual or grinding noise emanates from the motor area.
3. The turntable becomes stuck or fails to move fluidly.
4. The turntable moves at a slow pace.
5. The appliance experiences general noise disturbances.
6. The tray does not turn.

Replacing the motor can effectively address these issues, thereby improving the microwave's overall performance.
