F9Q appears on KitchenAid's list with a power reset only; no cause or part is named.
Model compatibility: KitchenAid reuses codes across series and model years, so F9Q may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
Code listed by KitchenAid; the article gives a power reset and no stated cause.
KitchenAid lists F9Q among its over-the-range microwave errors, yet the page is almost empty: the fault is not explained, no part is named and no wiring is mentioned. A power reset is the entire content.

A close neighbor, F9Q1, is about the touch pad; KitchenAid does not say F9Q is the same thing. And F9 lists two boards. Neither cause should be carried over to F9Q.
If F9Q stays on
Arrange service. With no cause listed, the code on screen and your model number are all a technician has to start with, so keep them handy.
In short
F9Q is a listed code with a power reset and a pointer to service. Nothing in KitchenAid’s entry hints at a particular component or a way to find out, though the unit’s owner’s manual might say more. What F9Q leaves out is telling too: most other F-codes on this list carry a sentence saying the function was not executed, and this one does not.
