WB26X10038 Microwave Turntable Motor for Compatible with GE Frigi-daire Replacement 5304408980 WB26X10038 AP2024962 PS237772

They ask for reviews about 12 seconds after you receive the product. So after almost week, it's been great so far.Replacement for me was easy, over the range microwave, just a few screws and a plug. Direct replacement for the original. Swapped out without a hitch.There are plenty of YouTube videos showing the process.And in the five days it's been installed, it's worked perfectly.Well worth the price.If your turntable stopped working, give this one a shot. You could get several of these motors for the price of others.Almost bought a new microwave, glad I risked the $10 bucks.Will update if it stops working, but the original lasted over 20 years, so it may be a while.

For about 1/5 the price of the OEM part I figured this was worth a try. The part was easy to replace, unplug the microwave, remove a hand full of screws to get the bottom cover off the microwave and a couple more to remove the old motor. The wire connector in the microwave connected up to the new part perfectly and the part went into position without any issues. Finished it up by screwing the bottom cover back on and plugging the microwave back in. In total it should take between 10 and 20 minutes for the average person to replace the part depending on how familiar they are with the microwave and their skill with a Phillips screwdriver.For over a month with heavy use the part has performed with no distinguishable difference from the original part before it failed. I would recommend this as a replacement part over the OEM for my family and friends without any doubts or concerns.

Installation was quick and easy. Product lasted less than 24 hours. It initially worked, then it didn't. No noises or indication of failure, only happened to notice it not turning again. Unless you like repairing appliances multiple times for the same reason, steer clear and buy original equipment.

This was a perfect replacement for my 20 year old Frigidaire microwave model FMT148GPB2. The OEM part number for the motor that was no longer available was 5304408980. This one is working perfectly. It took about 20 minutes to replace the motor by undoing 6 screws from the bottom of the microwave (to undo a hinged metal panel) and then 2 screws to replace the motor. Note: the plastic piece that attaches to the motor disconnected from beneath the machine and does NOT pull up through the metal assembly. I was glad I didn't try to force it upward while the motor was still attached because I suspect it would have broken.The symptoms were first just a noise from the turntable and progressively got worse with the turntable barely spinning. Also, remember when testing the microwave to always have something in it, even if just a cup of water. Running the microwave with nothing in it will damage the unit.

After starting to disassemble the whole microwave to get at the burnt out motor, I finally figured out what the engineer who designed the bottom had in mind. It was pressed out of one piece of thin sheet metal and you had to cut the sheet metal in 8 places (very easy) with some dykes or other snippers to get at the motor . Then after changing the motor you turn the sheet metal piece you cut out 180 degrees and re attach to the bottom with the screw that was already there. Brilliant from a manufacturing point of view and easy once you know how.

Did not work. Ordered another more expensive one. Did not work. Problem appears to be in the circuit board, not the motor. Delivery was fast.

So, I thought it would be better to try this inexpensive version of the turntable motor since my microwave is around 10 years old. Sadly I now wish I had opted for a higher priced, better quality one. This one makes so much noise and rather than smoothly turning, it sort of moves in small jerking movements around. Also, our factory turntable motor used to switch rotation directions each time it turned on. This one always tries to go the same direction. After I push the turntable on/off button about 5-7 times it will finally switch directions. I don’t know... I would not recommend wasting money on this one. Either try a different brand or go with the actual factory motor.

It was an easy install and now the microwave platter goes roundy roundy again.
