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 of course one should never leave a microwave unattended while cooking.
Chances are you have a shorting membrane keypad.
Please let me know your full model number and more details on what it's doing and I can give you the information you need.

Dear friends..
The problems you have described have to do with preprogrammed computer circuit boards that cannot be serviced except by GE authorized service persons. Since these ovens are out of warranty I am sorry to say you need to replace them. Service on these units would be at least twice as expensive as a new one.

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

So until it is repaired,
please leave it unplugged or leave the door
open when it's not in use, and of course one should never leave a microwave unattended while cooking.
The easiest and quickest way to repair this yourself (it's easy) is to order a new control panel frame, which comes with a new keypad.

There is a Web site dedicated to this issue. I am aware of a suit involving other older models.
You have a shorting
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 of course one should never leave a microwave unattended while cooking.
That rule is even more important in this case.
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.
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.
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.
The part number to order is WB07X11056 and you can get it here for $130.51 plus shipping.
(That compares to $189.75 direct form GE)
