Replace the touch panel.

Okay, thank you for that.
You have a failed membrane keypad, but on this model, it is not available separately.
You would need to order the control panel assembly, part # WB56X10817, which you can get here for far less than GE charges.
It costs more than just a membrane would, but is much simpler to replace.
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.
Then you remove your circuit board from the old frame and install it in the new frame.

F2 on a Whirlpool
microwave means you have a shorted membrane keypad.
If and when an oven is coming on or doing anything by
itself, this is very dangerous and can result in a fire.
So until it is repaired,
please leave it unplugged or leave the door
open when it's not in use, and please do not leave it cooking
unattended.
On
this model, the membrane keypad is not available as a separate part, so
you would have to order the control panel frame assembly which comes
with a new keypad.
It's actually a pretty easy do it yourself job.

Next, disconnect the strip as shown in the photo below, then remove the screws that hold your circuit board in the old frame.
Then
carefully (since the display is made of glass) move your
circuit board to the new frame, and reassembly is the reverse of
disassembly.

SOURCE: no display on microwave touchpad for ge Model JKP62G
The GE JKP62G Microwave / Oven combination has an internal fuse behind the control panel for the microwave. The oven will operate but the microwave will be totally dead (no light, no clock). Turn off the breaker for the oven at the fuse box (30 Amp double breaker). In order to replace the fuse you will have to open the door to the microwave, remove the two screws (Torx) from the front control panel (located on the left edge of the control panel), wiggle the panel to the left (there are two metal tabs that stick into the metal frame of the microwave on the right of the panel) and then tilt the panel down from the top. There is a metal bracket that holds the control panel to the microwave at the bottom (don't remove it). Look towards the top of the microwave inside the area behind the control panel and you will see a 15 Amp screw in fuse. Replace the fuse and that should fix your problem.

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.
If that doesn't work,
leave it unplugged for about 5 minutes.
If it still will not accept key input, your membrane keypad has failed.
Depending on your specific model number, the membrane keypad may be available separately, or you may have to order the control panel frame, which comes with a new keypad.
