SOURCE: I have a Whirlpool MH7140XFQ-0

"F6" on a Whirlpool microwave means you have a shorted cook relay on the control circuit board.

For model MH7140XFQ0 the control circuit board would be part number 4393919, which you can order from the Pros here for $132.23.

At our Web site, we have a video available showing how to remove a typical over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.

Then you unplug the keypad (as per the photo below) take out the old board, then move the new circuit board into your frame.

Some connectors on the relays may have a lock:

Otherwise, we regularly repair these boards with our $39.95 nationwide service. Details are here.

We're happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.

I have a whirlpool over the range microwave with an F6 error. Model # MH7140XFB-1 Serial # XCL1222267 I can't shut the door or it just continues to hum. How can I fix this?

Open the oven door. b) Unplug the microwave oven for 2-seconds and plug it back in. ... The sears manual refers to F6 error as a F6 -Microwave Relay Failure, which would explain why the motor is "humming" The relay is part of the PCB and may require you to get a new PCB
The F6 error indicates a relay on the control has failed.
You can try to unplug the microwave for a few minutes and then try it again. If the error repeats then the control will have to be replaced.
Microwaves are not good do-it-yourself projects and I recommend a technician check and repair this problem.
Microwaves are inherently dangerous to service. Internal capacitors can retain a lethal electrical charge even when the microwave is unplugged. A microwave radiation leakage test must be performed on the unit following any repair.
I recommend calling a service technician to repair this type of problem.

Whirlpool 6 sense f6

Normally the F6 code means a shorting cook relay. That can be repaired for $39.95 in most cases.
But it would be best if we knew your full model number from the cooking cavity or elsewhere on the oven.

It wasnt working at no display nothing, i took down and cleaned real good now im getting a F6 code

Funny that a cleaning would revive a totally dead microwave! Never would have guessed. On microwaves manufactured by whirlpool, F6 apparently means "Microwave relay failure. Check wiring to relay 4903 for short circuits."
Talk to your local service shop and see if they will replace a microwave relay... they should be able to give you a parts and labour estimate before they begin so you will know what you are in for.
