WB26X10038 Microwave Turntable Motor Replacement

Key Features

  • Synchronous drive motor designed to rotate the microwave's glass tray for consistent heat distribution.
  • Features a specialized 1/4-inch D-shaped metal shaft for a secure, non-slip connection to the turntable coupler.
  • Operates at a standard speed of 2.5/3 RPM (revolutions per minute) to ensure optimal microwave exposure.
  • Engineered with a low-noise internal gear set to eliminate grinding or clicking sounds during operation.
  • Equipped with two 3/16-inch male spade terminals for a quick-disconnect electrical connection.

Replaces / Cross-Reference Part Numbers

  • WB26X10038 / WB26X10038VP
  • 5304408980
  • AP2024962
  • PS237772
  • 769741
  • AH237772 / EA237772
  • Production Codes: SSM-16H, MDPJ030AF, ST-16F

Compatibility & Fitment

  • General Electric (GE): Fits JVM, DVM, EMO, and CGLMV series (Over-the-Range and Countertop models).
  • Kenmore / Sears: Specifically models starting with 363 and 721 prefixes.
  • Hotpoint & RCA: Compatible with most mid-to-large capacity microwave platforms.
  • Specifications: Must be used with 21V AC (50/60Hz) power systems; not compatible with 120V motor systems.

When to Replace

  • No Rotation: The motor does not turn the glass tray, resulting in unevenly cooked food or cold spots.
  • Loud Noises: A persistent grinding, clicking, or loud humming sound originates from the bottom of the unit.
  • Intermittent Turning: The tray stutters, jerks, or stops and starts randomly during a cooking cycle.
  • Mechanical Failure: The internal plastic gears are stripped, or the shaft no longer engages with the coupler.

Installation Tips

  • Safety First: Unplug the microwave. High-voltage capacitors can hold a lethal charge; however, this repair is typically performed via the bottom access panel and does not require opening the main high-voltage cabinet.
  • Access: Lay the microwave on its side or back and remove the security screws on the bottom cover plate to expose the motor.
  • Orientation: Note the position of the wire terminals before disconnecting; the new motor should be installed in the same orientation to avoid straining the wires.
  • Shaft Alignment: Ensure the D-shaped shaft is fully seated into the plastic turntable coupler inside the microwave cavity before tightening the mounting screws.
  • Testing: After reassembly, place a cup of water on the tray and run a 30-second cycle to verify smooth, quiet rotation.
