Microwave key pad stopped working

The key pad stopped working on my microwave. There is power to it, the inside light works, but none of the keys work.
After heating up coffee and taking it out with time left on the timer, I pressed the "clear" button and nothing happened. Unplugged it and plugged it back in, now it's in start up mode and wants the clock set but the key pad is not working.

    Exact same situation and end result as the previous post. Fortunately, the microwave is only still 10 months old and covered by GE.

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.

We're happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.

How to fix key pad on ge convection oven jvm1790bk. Pad stopped working

The control panel is actually 2 different parts and either could be bad. Do you have the display still lighting up or is it completely dead? If it is out it could the main smart board. If it still lights but no buttons work then it could still be the smart board or just the key pads which are a separate part. Neither part can be fixed just replaced.

Hotpoint microwave key pad parcially not working

The pads actually share some of the same lines inside the touch pad. There are silver oxide traces inside there. If a trace inside breaks, it depends on which trace breaks as to what pads dont work. If a trace that is common to say pads 1,3,5,7 you would lose function of those pads. 1.....2.....3.....4......5....... it is sort of set up like that inside wher eone connects to another and so on. So lets say a line between 2 and 3 breaks then you would lose pads 3, 4, 5 and any others on that same line. Will have to replace touch pad, cannot repair.

Have GE JVM2050 over the range microwave, which stopped heating food and water since this morning. All other functions including light, key pad, clock, turntable work normal. The magnetron sound also

if everything works except the heating, it is most likely the mag tube is on its way out.........that is the most common reason for it not too cook.......since the microwave is a GE and it is 3.5 years old, i would say you are better off buying a new microwave, the mag tube starts at around $70.00 and up + the labor it costs too have a service person put it in........around another $60.00

Microwave Oven

I report from owner manual.

F3 means : Short circuit on key panel (your touch pad).
You get F3 error if a shorted key panel is detected for more than 60 seconds.
Solution: . Replace key panel (touch pad).

Try first unpluggign power cord for five minutes.

If you think that the problem may had been caused by water inside the keypad you can try using an hairdryer on the keypad, taking care not to melt the keypad plastic.
If that does not work, then replace the keypad.

You can buy replacements here. or Order GE Microwave Ovens Parts Here

Nothin works on my key pad

Here are lock / unlock schemes for three recent Sanyo models:

- Press and hold Stop/Cancel for 3 seconds
- Press and hold Stop/Reset for 3 seconds or so
- Press Stop/Clear five times

Hopefully one of those will work.

If none of these work for you, contact Sanyo Service Customer Service.
