You have to have a simple multimeter and knowledge on how to use it to perform the diagnosis as described in the attached tech sheet on page 10 for the F7 error code.

After reading this thread and posts on Utube about how to disassemble a microwave, I took the key pad off, revealing the relay panel inside. I wiggled each relay and found one that was loose. It was the only relay with wires coming out of the top. On the solder side of the board two contacts from the relay had broken solder joints. I re soldered the contacts and reassembled the microwave. It has been working fine since. It took me just 20 minutes to make the repair. thanks for the help, it got me going in the right direction.
