What does Code F3 mean
The F3 error code for a GE microwave means the control is sensing a stuck or shorted key. Try pushing every button multiple times and do it firmly.
Hold a blowdryer in the corner of the keypad then slowly move it down as you peel it back (but not off). Take a sponge with the tiniest bit of dish soap and run it over both the sticky part (back of the circuits) and the place it is stuck to. Blowdry this til touchably dry and then reapply the kaypad face. Wait about 10 minutes until you plug in again for it to cool off.
If that doens't work, UNPLUG the unit and try to gain access to the electronic control board. If you can there may be a ribbon cable you can unplug from the board and try wiping the end of the cable hard between your thumb and index finger then wipe with a paper towel and reinsert the ribbon cable. May work but more than likely you will need to replace the touchpad.

F3 is a shorted key pad. To prove this, unplug the ribbon cable of the key pad from the control board and this symptom should go away when you plug the AC cord back into the wall. BE CAREFUL!!!
