I need a translation of fault code F6 on a Kenmore microwave. Unit is totally inoperable, low buzz when door is closed.

I have a Kenmore Micro with the same F6 problem! I see 2 requests for help on this site but no resolutions for either one.

F6 Microwave relay failure

1. Unplug microwave oven or disconnect power.

2.

Check wiring to Relay 4903 for short circuits.

3.

If wiring is OK, replace electronic control.

4. Plug in microwave oven or reconnect power

All you need to do is slap the inside right part of the microwave while it is unplugged. Then plug it back in and it will work.

This unit is running on its own because of shorting contacts on the cook relay, ref # 4903 in this case.

If and when an oven is coming on or doing anything by itself, this is very dangerous and can result in a fire.

So until it is repaired, please leave it unplugged or leave the door open.

And do resist the temptation to slap it and consider it fixed.

I'm sure you don't want your house to burn down in the middle of the night over that little joke.

There's a much cheaper solution that buying the electronics control circuit board ("Microcptr") for $100.54 here.
