What this code may mean.

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

The oven could not execute the function. There may be a problem with the Appliance Control Board, the Relay Control Board, or the associated wiring.

Of the F-series codes, F9 names the most parts. The oven could not execute the function, and the manual lists the Appliance Control Board, the Relay Control Board, or the associated wiring.

Manual steps

  1. Switch the circuit breaker off for one minute.
  2. Switch it on again.
  3. Monitor the oven for one minute to ensure F9 does not display again.
  4. Verify oven operation.

This covers over-the-range microwaves.
