WB06X10420 General Electric Microwave Glass Tray Drive Coupling

Microwave Glass Tray Drive Coupling

This product is an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part designed for GE microwaves, compatible with brands such as Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears. Positioned beneath the microwave's glass turntable, the turntable coupler plays a crucial role in transferring the rotational force from the motor, ensuring the turntable spins correctly for uniform cooking and heating.

The turntable coupler can become faulty due to several reasons, including normal wear and tear, physical damage, or incorrect installation. This can lead to operational issues such as the turntable failing to rotate or moving erratically.

Signs of a malfunctioning turntable coupler include:

- The turntable remains stationary during microwave operation.
- The turntable moves unevenly or jerks.
- The microwave produces abnormal noises or vibrations while running.

This component, in a dark brown color, has a diameter of approximately 1-1/2 inches. Replacing a defective turntable coupler can resolve problems like the tray not turning.
