Hi

F3 is an error indication that there is a short in the key pad assembly. It is likely that this assembly will need to be replaced.

Be aware that Microwaves carry potentially lethal levels of voltage even when completely unplugged from the mains supply.

For this reason I recommend you get a tech to look at your microwave and you do not attempt any repair to a microwave yourself.

It is likely that the keypad assay will need to be replaced. This part costs usually around $100. You will also have a labour cost also to consider so you should weigh this cost up in economic terms before you decide to proceed.

Hope this helps. Please do rate this answer. Thanks.

I have a Kenmore Elite Speedcook Microwave oven, model #665.63783600. What does error code F7 mean on this model?

F7 Error Code On Microwave Ovens With Inverter Board

An F7 error code could be an inverter board failure. Anything else that prevents microwave energy may also cause an F7 error, and must be checked. The technician should perform the following procedure to test for an F7 error code:

1. Check the magnetron.
2. Check the magnetron TCO (it should be closed).
3. Check the 3 interlock switches.
4. Check the harness wiring.
5. Check the electronic controls.
6. Check the inverter board.

For more free help, feel free to contact me via my site with your detailed symptoms and full model number and FCC ID number as shown on the tag in or on the oven.

Hello, please use the chart to determine which stove you have. You will have to look at the model number. The first 3 numbers will be the series on the chart. In most cases an F1 error would require replacement of the electronic control. This part is commonly refered to as an EOC or ERC. However this type of repair is usually reserved for repair specialists.
