Microwave Problems

Whirlpool Microwave F-7 Error?

My microwave is screwed up, I tried unplugging it, and hitting all the buttons (In case it was screwed up). It was all good until I had drunk friends over, and that is when it happened. Other then that it usually takes a few seconds then F-7 error pops up. every now and then it works for a few minutes but doesn't heat it up at all.
