Hi,

Anyone know where I can the turntable motor for this microwave oven, for
less than a new oven itself ? :-))
Checked a couple of places on the net, but they are pricing it around $50.
It's a joke. Is there maybe a universal solution that would keep my body
parts (arm & leg) intact :-)

Sharp Microwave Oven
Model R-3A87 or R3A87

Need: Turntable motor PN RMOTDA161WRE0

2.7/2.4W 2.5/3RPM

Worked on a lot of Sharps and the turntable is plastic crap,so are
most of the others too.They are interchangeable in a lot of them so
look for a scrapper and test the motor with an external 12v[UK] hook
up.
Replaced one two weeks ago under guarantee and thought it funny it
went after four months,the lady said she had defrosted a 12 pound
turkey in it!'nuff said.
