Possible Causes
Incorrect state of door switches (monitor switch fault), Miswired door switch harness, Failed door monitor switch, Control board detecting unsafe door condition
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the microwave. Door interlock circuits are critical safety components; do not bypass them.
Step-by-step checks (experienced DIYers):
- 1. Inspect door operation: Ensure the door closes firmly and evenly. Listen for multiple clicks from the interlock switches.
- 2. Access interlock assembly: Remove the outer cabinet and control panel to reach the door switch bracket.
- 3. Verify wiring: Compare the wiring to the schematic on the unit's label. Ensure the monitor switch, primary, and secondary switches are wired correctly.
- 4. Test switches: Use a multimeter to test each switch for proper open/closed operation with the door open and closed. Replace any faulty switches.
- 5. Reassemble and test: After replacing switches, reassemble and test. If F9 persists, the control board's door logic circuit may be defective.
