Kenmore Elite microwave had error code F3H and wouldn't heat?
Model # 665.61683101 (Whirlpool?). Ran diognostics on keypad which tested good. Now the microwave is working as normal?!?
Is there something about to go bad and if so what?
Thank you!! I just unplugged my Kenmore Microwave and plugged it back in and now it works fine!!

Unplugging for 2 minutes worked on my Kenmore Micro-hood model 665.61652100 too. Thanks for posting!

Unbelievable! We have been living without the sensing features for quite a while now. Did the unplug fix and now it is working. I thought I was a geek and could figure out anything. who'd a thunk it would be so simple! Thanks so much.

Had the same symptoms, no lights, fans, or heat, and the same error code . . .F3H. After calling a serviceman, my wife found your solution. Presto!, the microwave was restored, the kind repairman was amazed and declined to charge a fee for his service call and all is right in our world.

F3H error code on Kenmore Elite microwave.
The fan and light would not work nor would it heat.
I unplugged it for @30 seconds and reinserted plug. All worked again.
