Frigidaire Model FMV157GS
Good Morning Jim Cole, thank you for your post!
From what you are describing it sounds like it could be an issue within your control panel or door switch. I would recommend having a technician out to properly diagnose your Frigidaire microwave to avoid any unnecessary part purchases. I hope this is helpful. -Matt

I have the R-1460 in the same series with the identical symptoms. After reading MicrowaveSvc's solution I started taking apart to view the door switches and found the upper door switch to be the problem, but not a switch failure a support failure. A small bottom plastic support post that holds the switch in place was broken (probably from repeated use/abuse) allowing the switch to move when the door hooks were engaged, thus not actuating the button switch. Since the problem was mechanical rather than an electrical bad switch, I made a small support arm for the switch from an old plastic mechanical pencil and glued it in place to hold the switch in its correct position. Problem solved, microwave works! Thanks to MicrowaveSvc's description of door switches.

Found this Panasonic post in the Samsung section!
If it moves just a tiny bit when the door opens and then stops, that's normal.
If it keeps running when the door is open, that's usually due to a bad door switch or broken / loose door switch mount.

SOURCE: error code F6
Please post back with your your full model number. It will be three digits, then a dot, then about eight more digits.
Once we have that, we can figure out who made it for Kenmore, then look up the F6 code.
Happy to help.
SOURCE: Microwave oven runs with door open
This is usually caused by either a bad door switch, a loose door switch mount.
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.

This is a sure sign that the MAGNATRON needs replaced (this is what heats up the food) if every thing else works but food not cooking! 99% of time it is the magnatron!
