I can not unlock my microwave. any suggestions
This is a Whirlpool model, so one of these methods should work:
- Press and hold the Cancel button for 3 or 4 seconds.
- Touch and hold START/ENTER for 4 seconds.
- Touch and hold START for 5 seconds
If none of these works, contact Sears.

To lock or unlock the controls, press and hold the clear/off button for about 3 seconds. When the control panel is locked, the control locked will be displayed, anytime a button or dial is pressed. do the same now to unlock.. This is used to lock out children.

It's probably a shorted high-voltage diode or magnetron, but there's some chance it's a bad high-voltage transformer.

F6 appears to be a relay failure on the main board, but it may be a door switch or door switch mount.
This is usually caused by either a bad door switch, a loose door switch mount, or a problem on the control panel.
Even though a door switch clicks, it may still be bad inside. Its continuity must be checked.
Door switch or mount trouble can be caused by slamming the door or by opening the door while it's cooking without hitting the Stop pad first.
There are plastic mounts inside the microwave which hold the door switches and onto which the door hooks latch when you close the door.
The screws on these mounts may be loose. If they get too loose, the switches will not be activated properly.
Sometimes it's a broken tab on the switch holder, allowing the switch to rotate just out of position. Other times, it's a broken tab on the switch holder, allowing the switch to rotate just out of position. This tab can be hard to see, since it is under the bottom edge of the switch.

Same thing happened to us. We just came back from Sears, where we bought another. Just for giggles, my wife suggested unplugging the old one and plugging it back in again. It works now. New one's going back to the store.
