What F9Q1
actually means.
Where E03 says the keypad reported trouble, F9Q1 is the control saying a function failed to run, with the touch pad or its wiring as the likely reason. The practical result is the same: commands from the panel do not reach the board reliably.

What to do when F9Q1 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.

SourceJennAir Product Help, over-the-range microwave: F9Q1
From JennAir's help pages for its microwave hood combinations (Euro-style, including the convection models). The code set varies with the control generation, so a code missing from your model's manual may not apply to it.
Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from JennAir's own guidance for F9Q1 on its microwaves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Turn the microwave off at the circuit breaker, count a full minute, then restore power.
Give it a minute on standby; a code that does not reappear was likely a one-time glitch, so run a short cycle to confirm.
Press keys firmly and one at a time; very light or overlapping touches can be missed.
If F9Q1 persists, book a visit for the touch pad.

What not to do
F9Q1 is not about the magnetron or the fan. It is also not Control Lock, which shows LOC or a padlock instead of a code.

Microwave hood combination
The microwave that hangs from the wall cabinets above the burners, heating food in its cavity while its own fan, light and filters handle the steam and grease rising from the pans beneath it.
Built-in microwave
A microwave set into a tall cabinet or a wall of cabinetry at eye level, either a countertop body wrapped in a trim kit or a true built-in model, including speed and convection microwaves that brown as well as heat.
Microwave drawer
A microwave built under a counter or into a kitchen island that opens like a drawer at the touch of a key, with a motor and gears sliding its cavity out toward you.
In JennAir's own words
There may a problem with the User Interface (Touch Pad) or the associated wiring.

Three details make the booking useful: the characters or beeps just as they appeared, every character of the model number, and whether a cup of water still warms up. With those, the technician arrives already halfway to the answer.
