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."
