SOURCE: I have an error code
Quoting another board:
Sears Kenmore Whirlpool LG 721.63683300. F-9
on this microwave IS inverter related.
There is a service tech
troubleshooting document stuffed in behind the control board cover
which has some testing procedures. My problem was the magnatron and
checked out bad with the help of this document. It would run for a few
seconds making clicks and then say F-9. It has been working great since
I replaced the magnatron PN 6324w1a002c.
f9 model 721.63764300
Kenmore
Elite 36 " over tne counter microwave is supplied by LG made by Gold
Star, made in China. It's main problem is the high voltage inverter
board supplyed by Sears Parts. If you get a F-9 code on your microwave
display screen and the micro quits it's probably this board. Reset the
machine by pulling the power plug and waiting an hour. If it is the
high voltage board is at fault it will probably fail after 45 seconds
of start up. This part is really hard to get at but is less than $100.
A qualified technician should be able to remove and repair this item in
less than hour. Some techs will quote you $300 labor, don't buy it, it
should cost a $100 or less. No need to buy another microwave.

A full
Sears/Kenmore model number has 3 digits, a dot, then 8 more digits,
such as ###.########
You can just enter your full
model number at the Sears
parts site.
On the resulting page, look to the right for the blue "View manuals"
button. Click there.
That Sears-related site has many free manuals. While the manuals they
list there are all free, they will ask you to register.
Many times, the owner's manual will have the installation instructions
inside.
If yours is not listed there for free, you would have to order it
through the Sears
parts site.

Note that part numbers mentioned may not for your model.
You can usually find
exploded views and order parts by entering your model number at the Sears
parts site.
BUT once you have the
part number from the Sears parts site, you can often get the parts
cheaper here

The F2 error code on your microwave oven is a membrane failure.
It is recommended that you replace the membrane first & if you still have problems to replace the control board.
