Hi,

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

Part number WB07X10959 this part can run over 100 bucks. If you shop around you could get a good price.

Good Luck

HOTPOINT COUNTERSAVER PLUS RVM 1435 DISPLAY READS F3

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

On RVM1435-series microwaves, 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.

In this case, you simply move your circuit board into the new frame. That is a simple do-it-yourself job.
You can find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full model number (RVM1435XX###) from the tag on the oven here.

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 unplug the keypad (as per the photo below) and move the circuit board into your frame.

Some connectors on the relays have a lock:

I am getting an F3 Error with my GE spacesaver microwave model # jvm1440wh04. It beeps 4 times while F3 is shown on the display and none of the buttons work.

F3 means that a contact is shorted on the control panel. Replacement contact panel required I think.

GE Microwave displaying --F3--

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

There's a chance it can come on by itself and run unattended, which can result in a fire.

So until it is repaired, please leave it unplugged or leave the door open.

On this model, the keypad is not available as a separate part, so you would have to replace the entire controller assembly.

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 disconnect the wires and install the new controller.

You can order part number WB07X10903 here for $114.37 (compare that to $174.75 direct from GE!).

LG Microwave Beeps 3 times, display shows F3 and keypad dead.

Since it's less than one year old, it would be fully covered under warranty.

I'd suggest returning it to the dealer or contacting the manufacturer to get it fixed free.

For more Goldstar / LG / L.G. help, call 1-800-243-0000 (M-F, 7am-8pm CT, Sat 8-5 CT) and choose the appropriate prompt from the menu or visit here. You can get warranty info & find a local authorized servicer.

I have a GE microwave. The display panel says F3 and the microwave beeps and will not run. If I unplug it it will then work if you use it right away. But then it will display F3 again and beep and not work...

F3 means that your keypad is shorting.

If you'd like to have us fix it for you, we do that for $39.95 plus parts. We repair them for customers nationwide.

Or if you want to do it yourself, please contact me directly and I'll give you details on parts and procedure.

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