This code will occur if a shorted key panel is detected continuously over 60 seconds. Replace key panel (also called touch pad).

SOURCE: Trouble shoot

F3 indicates a failure of the keypad.

The first thing to try is a "hard reset". Unplug it from the power line for a few minutes, plug it back in, set the clock, then try again.

If that doesn't take care of it, you'll need a new keypad, and this is not too hard for a DIYer.

We have critical safety, disassembly, and troubleshooting info at our site. You'll find a link to our site in our listing here on FixYa: http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk

You can find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full model number here: http://tinyurl.com/gv383

There should also be a very helpful "mini-manual" hidden inside the unit behind the control panel. It's very helpful when troubleshooting.

We're happy to help and we appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.

Microwave turns on by itself for one minute then it prompts F3.
Assuming there's no moisture, grease, or other foreign matter on the control circuit board (especially in the area where the keypad connects) then "F3" means you have a shorting membrane keypad.

This part is no longer available from the manufacturer, but in case you can find one in "new old stock" from a local or online distributor, the part number was 5304430278.

If you find the part, feel free to contact me here or at microwavecontrol.com for detailed replacement instructions.

Good luck.

Spacemaker beeping loud and f3 message driving us crazy
The error code F3 indicates an oven sensor problem. The oven sensor is most likely the failed part. The oven sensor probe must have the correct resistance readings at specific temperatures. When the electronic range control (ERC) cannot identify the correct resistance of the oven sensor or the resistance is way out of specs F3 will display.
I recommend calling a service technician to diagnose and repair your oven.

On the screen it shows F4, and F3
F4 means an open humidity sensor, but sometimes this error is bogus and can be reset by unplugging the oven for a minute or so.

F3 on a GE / Hotpoint microwave means you have a shorted keypad.

If you (or someone you know) might want to replace it yourself, I have uploaded a handy guide with pictures showing you what's typically involved.

You can usually find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full model number here.

There should also 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.

If you would like to have us do this for you, we do that for $39.95 plus part costs.

Feel free to contact me directly (and please remind me of your model number) for more information & help.
