It may be a door switch issue.
But first I would recommend a "hard reset," which is unplugging the oven for a minute, then plugging it back in and trying it.
Feel free to e-mail me from there, and include your full model number (or even better, a picture of the model tag) and include your detailed symptoms to let me know what's happening or not happening, and when it happens.

F6 usually means a fault in the controller or keypad. You could try to unplug it for several minutes, then plug it back in. If it still fails, maybe you or a friend can disconnect the power cord, unplug the keypad strip internally, then plug the power cord back in and try it with the keypad still disconnected. If it does not fail again, you have a wet or shorted keypad and can dry it or order one. If it does fail again, the control board is bad. If you or a friend decide to work on it, we have *critical* safety, disassembly, and troubleshooting info at our site, which is linked at our listing here on FixYa: http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk You can find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full model number (without the suffix) here: http://tinyurl.com/gv383 Sorry I didn't get to answer this before the bogus answer was posted. I've been tied up and away from the PC.

We see (and repair) this
a lot. The problem is on the control panel, which
we regularly repair nationwide by mail for $39.95 postpaid in about a
week or so.
At
our Web site, you can get details of our service, plus we have a video
available showing how to remove a typical
over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.
This light failure often
occurs when a bulb goes out and the filament
shorts, or when the bulbs are removed or installed without first
unplugging the oven from the power line. Either can cause such a
failure on the controller.
The lights can can be
inoperable or stuck on or no bright, too. Sometimes this will similarly
affect the exhaust fan operation or inside light, too.Feel free to contact me directly (and please remind me of your
full model number from the tag on the unit) for more information & help.
We're
happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your thoughtful
rating of our answer.

The light is the only thing that comes on when you open door. You either have a shorted door switch (Micro switch) or a shorted bulb. You have either a shorted bulb or bad socket. From my experience, it's the bulb. Just because it may seem to start to come on when you open the door, it's most likely bad. At least it not expensive.
Please rate solution
Testimonial: "Thanks, yes the light comes on for a second then fuse blows. I'll replace it, thanks!"
SOURCE: ewave panel is on lock
As per the owner's manual:
The oven operation can be locked to prevent the microwave from accidentally being turned on. All oven functions can be locked.
To Set: Touch and hold the CANCEL/OFF Pad for three seconds. The Display shows “LOCKED” and the oven beeps.
To Cancel: Touch and hold the CANCEL/OFF Pad for three seconds. “LOCKED” disappears from the Display and the oven beeps.
If this does not work, then try a hard reset: Unplug the unit for a
minute or so. Then plug it back in, set the clock and try again.
If it still fails, you probably have a problem with the controller.
We regularly repair such control
units for
customers nationwide by mail for $39.95 postpaid in about a
week or so with a one-year guarantee. It may cost a little more if you need parts, such as a new keypad.
Feel free to contact me directly (and please remind me of your
full model number from the tag on the unit) for more
information & help.
