What this code may mean.

A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.

There may be a problem with the Smart Pop Control or the associated wiring.

Four steps from the manual

  1. Turn the breaker off for one minute.
  2. Turn it on again.
  3. Watch the microwave for a minute so you can tell whether F4E9 is back.
