W11245707 Whirlpool Microwave/Oven Combo Turntable Coupler

Microwave/Oven Combo Turntable Coupler.

Whirlpool's range of brands includes Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures products for both Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. It is important to note that this coupler is designed to fit a glass tray equipped with three triangular notches that slot into the coupler. Alternatively, some models use a tray featuring three semi-circles; for these models, part number W10435116 is required.

This component is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part specifically for Whirlpool microwaves. The motor coupler serves as a link between the microwave’s motor and the turntable shaft, facilitating the rotation of the turntable by transmitting power from the motor.

A motor coupler may fail due to normal wear and tear, frequent usage which accelerates the wear of components, or physical damage from impact or improper handling.

Indications of a malfunctioning motor coupler include:

- The turntable failing to spin or spinning erratically
- Unusual grinding or clicking sounds from within the microwave
- A turntable shaft that appears loose or misaligned

This authentic Whirlpool OEM part is also suitable for use with appliances from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.
