Error codeF9Q
ApplianceMicrowave
Only one fix is listed
The help entry for F9Q gives no cause. It lists a power reset, and that is the whole owner procedure for an over-the-range Maytag microwave.
Steps
Turn off the breaker or breakers that supply the microwave and let a minute pass.
Turn them back on.
Remain in view of the display for a minute and note whether F9Q returns.
Check that the microwave runs as normal.
If the code is still there
There is nothing further for the owner to try. A repeat of F9Q after the reset means the unit needs a technician.
Similar codes
