Kenmore Microwave F4 Error Code — Cavity Temperature Sensor Fault

Kenmore Microwave

Medium Severity
Warning: If your Kenmore appliance displays the F4 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 F4 error code on a Kenmore microwave indicates a fault with the cavity temperature sensor (thermal sensor). The microwave cannot accurately monitor interior temperature for sensor-cook functions.

Causes

  • Failed cavity temperature sensor
  • Sensor wire pinched or damaged during installation
  • Control board fault causing false sensor reading

What To Do

  1. F4 does not prevent basic timed cooking — you can still use manual time-cook mode.
  2. Sensor cooking and temperature-based auto programs will be unavailable until F4 is resolved.
  3. Professional replacement of the cavity sensor is required.
