Grizzly carries Emerson 1-1/2HP TEFC motors for $150 plus shipping.

Had a problem with a Rigid planner a while back. The "lifetime
warrenty" only applies to "manufacturing defects in the product", NOT
normal wear and tear.... Thankfully, Rigid determined that the failure
of my planner was a manufacturing defect..

In their [Rigid's] defense, I do like the planner, no setup, was good
out of the box, blades easy to change, no snipe as long as you use the
depth locking device. Its just that the salespeople do mis-represent
the warrenty aspect a bit.
Like they say RTFP (Read The Fine Print)..... :-)

I looked at a discounted jointer at Home Depot the other day, marked at
about $400. I asked if they would drop the price more? Nope!
Told them I would rather buy a open stand JET. Their reply, "But Ridgid has
a lifetime warranty!" I told them to stick their warranty.

get the frame number off the one you have, and go to a supply house
and get a new one.

Is the TS2400 the portable saw with the direct drive universal motor? If
so, you'll have a hard time finding an aftermarket motor to replace it.

pissing in the wind? i don't think so...the only tablesaw WORTH
putting a new motor on, is one without direct drive...i assumed (sorry
larry) that was the case, as i didn't not figure anyone would bother
trying to replace a DD TS motor.
my only mistake is not bothering to take the time and look for the saw
on the internet myself. save your money, and get a regular CTS

Mike, you are correct.
Traves, you are pissing in the wind!
The Ridgid TS2400 is a bench top saw, universal motor. Not to be confused
with Ridgid's contractor's saw.
As far as a replacement motor, the original poster is screwed! Gotta buy it
from Ridgid, nothing else will fit.
