Turntable stopped operating. Obtained number for new motor on the net. I installed new motor. Unit is built-in type, so tested new motor befor re-installing. It worked. Tested again after installation, but got burning odor and motor stopped. Original motor said ST-16,KX63SAAA, AC 120v,2w. Replacement unit said21VAC, F Class ZP. Both were made in Korea. Do I now assume that I got a new reduced voltage unit and when I turned the unit back on I got 120v to the motor, hence the burning odor? The unit is noted as being built in 1977. Did GE change the motor spec? The replacement motor came in a GE package from Part Select. It is very difficult to get the unit out of the wall, so I haven't done it a second time.

no you just got the wrong motor you need one that is 120 vac. if it is still avail. all new ge microwave are 21vac. all old ones are 120vac. you have to have right motor. or fireworks.

If your new motor said 21VAC and the original said 120VAC, then you could have gotten "hosed" by PartSelect.com.

Well that would be a first! (Please note - the preceding comment was sarcasm).

Anyway... if you'd like to get the proper motor, please enter your model number as "JE1540WW02" (not 002) here: tinyurl.com/gv383

Then I'd get on the horn with PartSelect and complain my way up the chain of supervisors until they agree to give you a refund.

If that doesn't work you could threaten them with their State's Attorney General since if they sent you a 21V motor to go in a 120V circuit they could be perceived as looking to start a house fire.

Isn't that "arson"?? GOLLY...
