TCP is "True Cook Plus" in Kenmore speak.
Here is a cut/paste of a section of the manual.

TrueCookPlus " can adjust to your tastes - to cook your food hotter or cooler - automatically: Example Clear 1. Press the Clear button. (§H§ 1 2. Press the TrueCookPlus® button twice. 3.

If you want more cooking time when you enter a TrueCookPlus® code: Press 3 for 3% more cooking time. Press 4 for 6% more cooking time. Press 5 for 9% more cooking time. 2 5. Press 2 to reset TrueCookPlus* to factory setting default time. 6. Press the Start button.
I didn't try to clean up the copy
Hope this makes sense and helps.

SOURCE: Owners manual for Kenmore Elite Microwave Model 66462

A full Sears/Kenmore model number has 3 digits, a dot, then 8 more digits, such as ###.########

You can just enter your full model number at the Sears parts site.

On the resulting page, look to the right for the blue "View manuals" button. Click there.

That Sears-related site has many free manuals. While the manuals they list there are all free, they will ask you to register.

Many times, the owner's manual will have the installation instructions inside.

If yours is not listed there for free, you would have to order it through the
Sears parts site.

SOURCE: My Kenmore Elite Ultra Wave Technology microwave

Here are a couple of quotes from another forum:

"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."

"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."

Note that part numbers mentioned may not for your model.

You can usually find exploded views and order parts by entering your model number at the Sears parts site.

BUT once you have the part number from the Sears parts site, you can often get the parts cheaper here

What stores in Ontario Canada carry Galaxy 64002 700 Watts Microwave Oven ?

Hello Passion,

The Galaxy microwave oven that you speak of was manufactured by Sears, Roebuck and Company. This brand of microwaves is no longer manufactured by Sears. Sears has went to a new model the MD series that you can purchase. However, if you are just looking for a few parts like the plate, manual, etc. the following website has parts and the manual http://www.hammerwall.com/Manuals/Galaxy/Description/721.64002/Galaxy%20Microwave%20Oven%20Manual/L0310102/

To locate a sears store close to you enter you postal code at the following web page http://www.sears.ca/store-locator

The F2 error code on your microwave oven is a membrane failure.
It is recommended that you replace the membrane first & if you still have problems to replace the control board.

Kenmore elite microwave oven displays "Locked" and will not respond

My Kenmore Elite microwave (don't have the model number in front of me) also mysteriously locked its own keypad (we were sitting in an adjacent room, heard a strange beep, and got up to find the LED reading "Locked."). I pressed and held down the Stop/Clear button for ~10 seconds and it returned to normal.
