The F-9 error code indicates a defective control board, inverter or line voltage too high.

Hope that answers your question and it won't be too expensive.
Check on ebay for prices.

    It is likely a magnetron or inverter problem. A magnetron will cost around $74 and an inverter will cost $168...not including labor or tax.
    There is also a chance it could be a door latch problem...even though it 'seems' like it is closing the latch system is not properly closing and signaling it is safe to start the microwave....

Kenmore microwave oven model # 721 63684300 built 5/2003. Does not heat, after 25-30 sec. F9 appears on keypad. Everything else works---timer, clock, lights, horizontal turnstyle.

I checked the owners manual and it does not list the fault codes. Manufactures leave this information out of the manual most of the time so you have to call them for service.

Call 1-800-4-my-home (sears) and tell them the problem. You will also need to provide the m# so have that ready when you call.

Good Luck

Hit the start button and runs for 6 sec then code F-9 can't find manual

You didn't mention your brand or model, but F9 code on an LG sometimes means either a bad door switch or a loose door switch mount.

See this file on door switches.

If a switch is all you need, we offer a universal type for only $5 postpaid which you can order here.

Here is more info on F9 as it relates to some brands and models:

Sears Kenmore Whierlpool 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 proceedures. 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.

F9 code on mod 721-80869400 kenmore elite

This is usually inverter trouble, but it may be the magnetron, controller, wiring, etc.

There should be a "mini-manual" (tech sheet) hidden inside the unit behind the control panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is very helpful when troubleshooting, testing, and locating components.

To find helpful exploded view diagrams and get part numbers, you can just enter your full model number at the Sears parts site.

Humming sound, F9 and dead

Seems like I answered this, but maybe it's a different poster.

The 721 model code means it's an LG/Goldstar-made oven and F9 indicates a problem with the inverter or magnetron.

Due to the lethal voltages involved, I do not recommend that a person without training and experience ever work on these models.

I would suggest you contact Sears for service.

Kemore microwave model number 721.63763300

F9 is an error that indicates an inverter board or magnetron
has failed. With the F9 error cleared, start the oven and
listen for a ticking sound. The inverter will attempt to
'fire' the magnetron 5 times.(ticking sound). If can hear
ticking, replace magnetron. Check owners manual. Part may be covered by limited warranty.
