Microwave turntable motor

[@deans7845]

Thank you for the excellent video. Using cheap plastic gears seems like an easy way to get people to buy a new microwave sooner than they should have to.

[@ShoreDesign]

My microwave motor is turning sometimes but mostly stuck and because of your video i know why . Thank you for that , I will change the broken gear .

[@bctruck]

Glad I could help

[@sweetmemories4448]

Thank you very much for making the video and sharing it. It is quite impressive. It gave me courage to open and repair the motor if it comes down to that point. I could not find an exact match for my Turntable motor assembly. So I was forced to overhaul the motor assembly. It was difficult to dismantle with the intention of repairing it to make it usable. My first try failed. I had to redo the entire process all over again and was successful. God bless you.

@Sweet Memories @BCTruck, BC Blades Strangest thing: I've never seen this kind of motor (single winding, complete cylinder of magnet) discussed or illustrated anywhere, yet it could not possibly be simpler. I don't even quite understand how it works. Since the cylinder is not in three segments (for example), how does it 'know' which way to turn? There are no windings, really, just a single undifferentiated spool. After electricity is sent through the copper, why doesn't the magnet simply sit there?

[@sweetmemories4448]

@@johnstrawb3521 I watched the turntable's rotation. The direction of rotation changes when next time you reheat/cooked something. My microwave oven's Magnetron hummed very well after overhauling the turntable motor. The Turntable motor freed up gear assembly and reduced the resistance thereby supplying more current to rest of the microwave.

I felt like my dad was showing me how this thing works. Thanks for uploading.

[@bctruck]

Thanks for watching!

[@RustyKombi]

Ya! I'll pull anything apart to, just out of curiosity - love it

[@Kelticgnome]

Thank you. I wanted to take my motor apart and see what exactly malfunctioned (I probably still will). Fascinating video.

[@DonnaMSchmid]

Oh, I'm SO glad you started to unwind the wire... I was sitting here, clapping my paws together, saying "Unwind it! Unwind it! Unwind it!" *grins*

[@darknightwatcher]

You got me...the first chuckle of the day...thanks

[@kareno8634]

Nice, now WHERE did the Teeth Go? They Don't just disappear. Not in Belly of Motor, you showed us that too. Very cool to see.

[@vero0992]

I happened upon this video because I'm trying to figure out why my microwave turntable motor keeps burning out, but that copper wire is really cool! I'll probably take apart the old motor now, I love copper.

[@1997cr80r]

Cool little motor! I was that guy that said he wanted to see the inside lol. I love fixing stuff as its what I do

[@hastabyebye]

Great video man. Love to understand what is happening beneath the surface. All too often it's some hokey plastic gear with broken teeth. 😜

[@jsmythib]

Doh! The death of a perfectly good air coil! Cheers :)

[@lightspeedhensley3534]

great instructional video . many people especially the younger liberal generation don't even know how to use basic tools , many things such as this can be fixed instead of spending mom and dads money while at college to buy another whole microwave . and throwing the other in the garbage ... you know .. to save the planet and all.

[@rgbcrafts]

Curiosity is such a nice thing to have. I was looking for these and found your video. Thanks for sharing.

[@bctruck]

Thanks for watching!

[@twofinger74]

Glad you found a replacement.

[@georgebaker9435]

Thanks for this video. I always wondered about what was in side

[@TheMountainfarmer]

Glad to see you're using the right tools for the job. Probably could have used a bigger hammer. Thanks for sharing

[@sixtyfiveford]

Always fun pulling stuff apart.

[@naturalmystics-kd9vt]

Thank you I learn how it is built thank you

[@DuWayneOdom]

I knew that was going to happen. I don't know if I could have waited that long to take apart...lol

[@MichellesCraftsandMore]

I love taking things apart to see what makes it tick, once it is broken anyways. :)

[@Buckrun11]

I think you need to wrap the copper back on then count how many wraps is on the whole thing so we know how to rebuild it.

[@GrandsonofKong]

So where did the broken teeth go too? Were they stuck in the grease?

[@linlaobei1]

Thanks for the sharing!

[@Tobymt1925]

Man you are just like me, you love to tinker with anything.

[@SpecificLove7]

cool disassembly

[@GereDJ2]

Thanks, My Magic Chef has the same problem but works fine otherwise. The cheap plastic gears were stripped. And, this was also the same problem on a couple others I've had.

[@MobyDave1583]

WHere did the teeth go?? The case looked like it was sealed up pretty tight.

[@1crazynordlander]

I was prepared to see blood. One slip of the screw driver. At least I would have been bleeding. I am one of those guys that has to see what's inside also. In fact I can't wait until my pacemaker quits on me ;>)

[@jsmythib]

Scan broken gear. Extrapolate missing pieces of the gear and print me a new one. Thanks for the look inside :)

[@danielm7585]

I was just thinking you could make a radio, or an electro magnet with that, when you pulled out the copper lol.

[@mojoe60]

i went to trade school to be an electrician. we would take wire like that and string it from locker to locker and watch people get tangled in when classes changed.

[@StefanZKostadinov]

So... where are the missing part's ? They have to be inside if the gear is broken.... ?

[@bctruck]

the teeth are stuck in all the grease.

[@59chevt]

nice sharing. I always learn from you.

[@bestamerica]

' try plug in 120V A/C and see the motor motion to last gear... motor can either 2 ways backward and forward

[@zozo71zozo71]

like it to open all kinds of stuff , nice

[@tamyboy1]

Great video kind sir

[@bctruck]

Thank you kindly

[@LostSurvivor147]

i bet that wire would be good for trip wires for SHTF interesting

[@etchisinoga8593]

Hello Dear Sir, thank you for your video, I have urgent concern right now, I sincerely need your help: I ​​have a 220-240v 5-6 RPM synchronous motor, I would like to turn it into a synchronous motor 12v (direct current) 5 to 6 revolutions / minute, what to do? How many turns (how many threads) do I have to do to get my result? and with which wire diameter.Thank you.

[@MichaelAChang]

That exact gear's teeth will break as the motor tries to overcome a seized output shaft which is usually frozen in place due to contamination from dried spilled liquids.

[@johnstrawb3521]

@BCTruck, BC Blades Strangest thing: I've never seen this kind of motor (single winding, complete cylinder of magnet spinning the gear it houses within ) discussed or illustrated anywhere, yet it could hardly be simpler. I don't even quite understand how it works. Since what I'm assuming is the cylindrical magnet is not in three segments and has no brushes, how does it 'know' which way to turn? There are no windings, or so it appears, just a single undifferentiated spool of copper. After electricity is sent through the copper, why doesn't the magnet simply sit there? --Is it that the copper coil is made of enameled wire, and that electricity is sent into one or the other terminal fed by house current, and which terminal is fed is what decides the direction of rotation? Also, if you don't mind, what is this kind of motor called---and can you refer me to a detailed discussion of it anywhere on the internet? I've looked for hours and there isn't even one image of it. Thanks in advance,

[@bctruck]

The turntable turns in a different direction each time power is applied. I know nothing more about the motor.

[@Taleulah]

Amazing! God bless.

[@MarkusWITH_a_k]

Looks like a.simple.DC motor what makes.it an AC motor without any diodes

[@bctruck]

No idea. I’m just a guy who likes to take stuff apart and try and fix it. Just a guy.

[@sammy-pp1gl]

Hi good video ,I have a microvave oven synchronous motor which is 200/240v but my oven motor is only 17v , can unwind the coil n drop it to 17v usage , your advice please....tks

[@bctruck]

I couldnt help you with that. That is beyond my pay grade. sorry.

[@toddweller]

Cool! Curious, they looked like metal, but were the step down gears made of plastic?

[@bctruck]

all the gears were plastic. got the new motor in thee mail this afternoon. ill fix it tomorrow.

[@wgenfair]

2021, and still remain the questions...is there any way to increase the rotation?

[@bctruck]

Only by swapping gears inside the little motor.

[@milagrossmith4891]

Wowwww so interesting.. Thanks!!!! Ok now fix it😂😂

[@bctruck]

There is no fixing. The gears are wiped out. In the next video, I install a new motor and put it back in my kitchen. now watch it!

[@milagrossmith4891]

@@bctruck yessss. That's the video I want to see the replacement. Can you link it or send it to me. I'm sorry for asking but I am not to computer savy

[@Chiqui_The_Rich_Pigeon]

😁 this was fun for me ✨❤️

[@elainepaul8466]

The turn table motor I need looks just like that can I use any one that looks like that or do I need the model number

[@bctruck]

They all seem to be very similar.

[@ladyhawthorne1]

Maybe the wire will come in handy one day.

[@naturalmystics-kd9vt]

I just order two of those motors on ebay

[@SusanRogersMakingItWork4Me]

I've taken things apart to see what was inside and if maybe I could figure it out and fix it, if not then at least I didn't break it and might even get something out of it I could use for something else. Yeah I like to tinker a bit, lol

[@livelove2030]

Tell you what if you gather all those copper waste and melt it down and make ingots, you can sell it . Sometimes its 1.50 - $2 a pound.

[@bctruck]

Live & Love my time is far more valuable than that

[@hanswelder]

Shit, I broke one gear because I turned it too fast and now threw it away, have to get it from my metal-garbage and take that copper ;-)

[@akhira7127]

What's in what motor

[@bctruck]

Faruk Gumus microwave turntable motor.

[@PauliusKarvelis]

So many plastick details inside... why???? Can use simply two wheels why 5???
