I have a Whirlpool OTR micorwave that is displaying a F6 error code. If I keep the door open then everything is quiet. When I close the door it buzzes like a stuck switch will not release. Any ideas?UserPostedImage

DB,

The F6 code, indicates you've got a bad microwave relay, per the service manual.

That relay is part of the control board / micro computer, behind the touch panel.

Part number: AP3177273
Part number: AP3177273


This should help get you to the panel and control board,


IMPORTANT:
When you work on the microwave

oven, be careful when handling the sheet metal
parts. Sharp edges may be present, and you
can cut yourself if you are not careful.
1. Unplug microwave oven or disconnect power.
2. Remove the two screws from the top of the

grille.
3. Pull the top of the air grille forward, lift the bottom
tabs from the slots, and remove the grille.
4. Remove the screw from the top of the control

panel.
5. Push the panel up to release the tabs from the
slots. Pull the panel away from the microwave

unit to gain access to the back side of it.
6. Disconnect the seven wire connectors from the

control board.
b) Remove 5 screws from the bottom board to

release it from the touch panel assembly
c) Press in on the locking tab end of the arm
and lift the arm to release the touch panel ribbon

cable.
d) You can now remove the microcomputer

board assembly.
:) :) :)
