Advice on compatibility
The turntable motor of my Sharp Carousel looks ALMOST identical to this one, with slightly different specifications and shorter metal drive shaft. [ 2.5 rpm / 2.5 watt - don't know what "FREE" means ] Should I take a chance it will be a suitable replacement; some others reporting here shortened the drive shaft to make it work ? On dismantling this motor it was easily apparent why/how it failed; liquid had made its way onto the very fine wire coil and burned it out. That seems to beg the question on why these motors are not made more waterproof ?

The motor should certainly do the job you require but the shaft length may prevent the drive 'hub' from sitting at the correct level and cause the turntable to be raised of the wheels. It may be possible to trim the motor shaft with a hacksaw. These motors cannot normally get water in unless large quantities of liquid is spilt or excess water when cleaning is allowed down the shaft.
