Could be magnetron failure but cooking a "foreign" object may have led to breakdown

F4 means sensor open, You have to check the Humidity sensor. If you wish to get some details; visit the site linked here. Pull up older posts. http://electro-medical.blogspot.com/

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 stuck in "night light" mode. Sometimes this will similarly affect the fan operation or inside light, too. The problem is on the controller assembly, which I regularly repair. Details are here. I also have a video available showing how to remove a typical over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.

The circuit breakers may both be functioning properly. What might be happening is that both circuits have other current drawing appliances on them. The circuit breakers react to the sum of all of the currents drawn by all of the devices on that circuit. So, if you have a 15 amp microwave and an 8 amp refrigerator on the same circuit, you would overload a 20 amp circuit by 3 amps.

If the control panel lights up intermittently, then you either have a loose connection somewhere near the panel, or a failing component on the circuit board itself. If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/david_29ad5d1dd86564b0

If there was any odor, the cloud might have come from a failed component, such as the high voltage rectifier. That could blow the fuse. If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/david_29ad5d1dd86564b0

The fuse can be replaced, but the underlying issue should still be investigated and resolved. Otherwise the new fuse will blow also. If the microwave is not working the thermal fuse may have blown. When a microwave stops working the problem is usually the line fuse or within the high voltage circuit; either the high voltage capacitor, diode, transformer or magnetron.
