Remove the bottom panel to make sure. - The turntable motor Part number: AP2024912 Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for General Electric JVM1350AW02 Counter top microwave | AppliancePartsPros.com Gene.

If you are correct will I still be able to use the microwave after the turntable motor dies completely although without the stirrer in operation? (Just thinking ahead and trying to save the $78 motor replacement fee on a 10 year old unit)

Any food inside will heat unevenly and it can damage the turntable. Where did you find such high price for this motor? APP sold it for $53.11 Gene.

Anyway, I have a button to turn off the turntable during operation on my microwave. I tried this button stopping the turntable but the sound I described earlier was still there. When the turntable is stopped shouldn't the turntable motor stop too thereby eliminating the noise? Thanks for the help. Jeff

Try to do it and post the results. Gene. P.S. If you will click on the picture or part number, you'll see the price and availability.

I have the same problem with a Whirlpool microwave and beleive the noise mis coming from the stirrer motor which I do not use nor was I aware of such and ability with a microwave. Is there any problem if I just disconnect the wires to this motor? Snowman29

It turns on automatically. If you will disconnect the motor, all microwaves will shot to the same point, causing uneven heating. Gene.

Can you tell me exactly in order theparts that have to be disassembled to reach the motor? I would disconnect ittemporarily to confirm it is the problem then put it back together until getting areplacement. It appears that there was an upgrade to this assembly thatrequires replacing everything. Is this really necessary? Would they not have complete instruction as to how to upgrade?
