LG Microwave Motors

Popular LG Microwave Motors

If the turntable on your microwave does not rotate, or you can hear a grinding noise, the problem may be with the motor. The motor is typically located below the floor of the oven, and is accessed through the bottom. The motor is normally held in place with a retaining screw and will have two wires attached to it as well. If the motor is making a grinding noise it will need to be replaced. If the motor does not turn, you can check for voltage or continuity with a multi-meter. Make sure the power is disconnected from your microwave before beginning this repair.

Installation Instructions
Susan from HENDERSON, NV
microwave dish would not move back and forth
unscrewed the bottom of the microwave and unplugged old part then took the screw out and put new one in. Super easy!
This AC synchronous motor is a genuine OEM replacement part specially made for microwaves. It operates on an alternating current, and it is responsible for rotating the turntable to ensure even heating of your food. The motor can fail due to physical damage or malfunctioning internal components such as the bearings. If your turntable is not rotating, you will need to replace the motor. You can find it underneath the microwave cavity, near the center. Disconnect the microwave from the power source and remove the cover. Turn the microwave over and remove the bottom panel to access the motor. Disconnect the motor from its mounting location, and then insert the new motor in its place. Ensure the new motor is securely attached before reassembling the appliance.

Steven from Oak Forest, IL
Motor Burned Out On Turntable
My 8 year old daughter cleaned the inside of the microwave with enough water to rival a tsunami. Resulted in a clean microwave with a fried out motor that no longer revolved. Part came quickly. Took cover and bottom off to get to the part. One screw held it on and a plug. Removed those, put on new part and she was good to go. No trip to home depot today.

Installation Instructions
Michael from Perry, OH
Microwave & turntable quit working-the computer worked ok.
Took off cover and checked all of circuits (& fuse). Had continuity until I got to turntable motor. Little motor on bottom of micro.It did not have continuity. I thought - looking at circuits - it had to be motor. When I got new motor - I was surprised there was no continuity through it but I was confident it was what I needed . But motor in & tested & worked fine. GE was no help at all! No useful info at all online! No schematics! The motor Had been discontinued ( thankks to info from Partselect.com). Partselect.com found a replacement part (& #).
