The number 1 stopped working the other day, everything else was fine. I did sterilize a mason jar by boiling a couple of inches of water in the jar. This was my last use, and now keypad does not work at all. Did the steam damage something?
No! the keyboard was already failing, But I'am more concerned the keypad control board is the issue and one of the most expensive pieces.
Testimonial: "Thank you for your input. I guess it is time to buy a new microwave. Mine was manufactured in 1998 so I have had many years of use."

I assume you're talking about the hood fan which ventilates the cook top and blows air through the grille across the top. If so, it's okay to use the microwave with that not working, but if you boil something on the stove, an external fan is definitely needed to keep mositure from going up into the microwave controls. If the cooling fan INSIDE the microwave (behind the keypad) is not working, then you do NOT want to run it unit it is fixed.

The 22 seconds is the giveaway.
In most cases, this is a problem with the inverter or a bad magnetron.
Due to the lethal voltages used and produced, I do not recommend that an inexperienced person work on these.
I would recommend that you contact your nearest Panasonic-authorized servicer.

If
the digital programmer circuit / controller does not get a feedback
signal from the inverter for a period of 3 seconds, the controller will
stop the cook cycle.

The
first thing I would suggest is a hard reset. Unplug the unit for a
minute or so. Then plug it back in, set the clock and try again.
Let us know if the hard reset does not fix it.
If it stops at 16 seconds and is a sensor model, it probably has a defective humidity sensor.
If
it stops after 22 seconds, that means the controller has detected a
problem, usually a problem with the inverter or a bad magnetron.
If you do indeed have a problem, Since
it's less than one year old, it should be fully covered under warranty.
I'd suggest contacting the manufacturer to get it fixed free.

It sounds like the magnetron overheated and opened the thermal fuse on the magnetron.
This can be caused when
the internal cooling fan is not running or by a magnetron that is
failing.
When I say internal
cooling fan, I do not mean the hood vent exhaust fan which you can turn
on and off manually.
I'm instead talking
about the internal fan which comes on automatically whenever you
microwave.
It is vital that the
cooling fan runs, or the magnetron will be destroyed.
There
should be a "mini-manual" hidden inside the unit behind the
control panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is
very
helpful
when troubleshooting & testing.
At
our Web site, we have a video
available showing how to remove a typical
over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.

The magnetron will have a 5 to 9 year warranty. Your manual will tell you that.

owner's manuals and installation instructions here.
If needed, GE may send
you a replacement magnetron. GE Customer Service is here.
