The turntable support assembly is also known as a roller guide, fits under the cooking tray and is used to support the tray and to engage the rotating coupler. If your cooking tray will not turn, or rumbles when it turns, check the support assembly for signs of wear or damage. If no damage can be seen, check the coupler for damage.
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 n...Read moreot 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.
Microwave energy for heating food is generated by this magnetron, which converts electrical power from the high voltage circuit into cooking energy. A failed magnetron may leave the appliance running without heating, even while the turntable, display, and fan continue to operate. Replacing a faulty unit helps restore the energy needed to ...Read morewarm and cook food. Internal microwave components can retain a dangerous electrical charge after the appliance is unplugged, so disconnecting power alone does not make the internal circuitry safe to handle. This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer.
Power for microwave heating depends on a high voltage circuit that includes this capacitor, the transformer, and the diode. The capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to help supply the magnetron that generates microwave energy. A failed capacitor may cause a loss of heating, loud humming, or a blown fuse when cooking begins. Rep...Read morelacing a faulty component helps restore normal circuit operation.

Unplug magnetron and remove the 5 screws. 6. Drop in new magnetron and re-assemble microwave in reverse order (steps 5-3). 7. Two people restore micro to wall/cabinet. Replace wood spacers, re-install two, large mounting screws (finger-tight). Test device. Secure the two large screws.
