Turntable Coupler

Took a sharp knife & cut the piece off..

The coupler was a little bit longer. I had to cut about 5 mm. Once that was done, it fit nicely. Unfortunately, i was not able to get the exact part number for the model, which is 13 years old. So I was glad to find something that worked!

I removed the glass turntable and realized the coupler had broken on the shaft, but the shaft/motor was still working. The coupler has a flat side that fits on the motor shaft. Removing the broken shaft was a bit of a problem because some of the broken pieces fell down in the motor housing area. If you have the same situation perhaps tapi ...

The coupler was a very tight fit to the shaft and I cautiously tapped it into place with a rubber mallet. There is a tiny flange that needs to go down far enough to have a permanent fit.

Amazing to say the least.

One of my sons used a q-tip with a little honey on it to fish the broken piece out, then installed the new turn table coupler.

Remove screws from lower panel, which exposes turntable motor. Remove 1 screw from motor housing and remove motor from housing. Then remove coupler if not already removed. Insert new coupler from inside microwave cavity (door open of course) and insert new coupler making sure triangular kub is below bottom floor of microwave. Move motor a ...
