F9Q1 reports a function not executed and names the touch pad (user interface) and wiring.
Model compatibility: KitchenAid reuses codes across series and model years, so F9Q1 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
The oven could not execute the function; possible user interface (touch pad) or wiring problem.
For F9Q1, KitchenAid reports that the oven failed to execute the function and that the touch pad, which is the user interface, or its wiring could be responsible. The code therefore overlaps two sets: the function-not-executed entries and the touch panel entries.
The article words the steps for the oven, not the microwave, but they match those used across the list:
Turn the breaker(s) off for a minute.
Turn them on.
Watch for F9Q1 over the next minute.
Verify the oven runs.
Not covered by the article
Which functions fail, how to clean the pad and how to test it are all missing, so no symptom is described .
If it returns
Service is the only further option given. Hand the technician the complete four-character code.
What to say on the phone
Report F9Q1, name the product as a KitchenAid over-the-range microwave, and mention what the support page says about the touch pad. A clear picture helps whoever answers plan what to bring. The reset text says “oven” rather than “microwave,” with no difference in the procedure.
