What F + number
actually means.
Fisher & Paykel does not publish what each F number means to owners. On the Series 7 and 9 touch-screen speed ovens the F code shows with a beep as a technical alert, and on the OM24NDB1 and OM30NPX1 the code is also stored in the event log in the system menu, where a technician can read the history.

What to do when F + number shows on the microwaveKind of codeControl board and touchpad
The electronics that read the keys and run the cycle have flagged a problem with themselves: a key that the control sees as held down for too long, a membrane keypad worn through or swollen by steam, a lost link between the keypad and the board, or a board that failed its own check after a surge. A breaker reset now and then clears a glitch; a stuck key or a code that comes straight back points to the keypad or the board.
Usually leads toMicrowave control board and touchpad repair
Tracing a dead display, keys that do not answer or a code that keeps returning to the keypad, the ribbon, the relays or the main board, and replacing only the part that failed.
Shows up asWhat a Microwave Error Code Is Telling You
A microwave error code may be a letter and a number on the display, a lock or demo word, a row of dashes, or a beep with a blinking clock, and it can show while the microwave still heats or block every key until it is cleared.

What not to do
An F code is not the same thing as the A1 or A5 overheat alerts, which clear after cooling. It is also not a lock or demo setting, so no menu option will make it go away if it keeps returning.
