Kenmore Microwave F7 Error Code — Fan Motor Fault

Kenmore Microwave

Medium Severity
Warning: If your Kenmore appliance displays the F7 error code and you are unsure how to proceed, turn off the appliance and contact a qualified technician. Some errors require professional repair to avoid further damage or safety risks.

The F7 error code on a Kenmore over-the-range (OTR) microwave indicates the ventilation fan motor has failed or is drawing abnormal current. Over-the-range microwaves use a fan to vent cooking fumes and cool internal components.

Causes

  • Failed fan motor winding
  • Fan blade seized from grease buildup
  • Wiring fault to the fan motor
  • Failed fan speed relay on the control board

What To Do

  1. Clean the grease filter (typically on the underside of the microwave) — extremely dirty filters restrict airflow and can cause fan motor overload.
  2. If the fan is audibly struggling or not running at all, the fan motor requires professional replacement.
