Welcome to Fixya
F3 on a GE / Hotpoint microwave means you have a shorting membrane keypad.
Warning: If and when an oven is coming on or doing anything by itself, this is very dangerous and can result in a fire.
Please leave it unplugged or leave the door open when it's not in use, and please do not leave it running unattended until it is repaired,.
I suggest that you seek assistance to a qualified technician since this is not a DIY job unless you have experience on this kind of problem. Here's the guide on how to replace it. Please proceed with caution.
Thank you for using Fixya! If you need further help, reach me via phone at

I have a creda hw150ew
With the greatest respect, the UK have not used DC mains supply since the 1950's. There is no possitive and negative anymore. We use alternating current.
The cable fixing that model of cooker must be red/black and earth.
I advise you get an electrician to connect it for you.

The 20 amp power fuse
The oven probably has a bad interlock monitor switch, one of several switches in a microwave that are operated by the door latches. The switch is wired so the fuse will blow if you try to run the oven with the door open, and it isn't operating properly when you close the door. As soon as the oven kicks on the power to the magnetron tube, the microwave source, the fuse blows. The switch may have been damaged if the door was slammed, or it's just a mechanical failure. It's not an expensive part, but any microwave repair involving the door should be done by a professional because of safety concerns, so you will have some labor cost to add in. It shouldn't cost as much as a new oven to make this repair, though, so it's probably worth fixing.

I need to know how
Hi mstweet22.
Could you supply a make, model, and serial number taken right off of the unit (not the book). A kickplate is the bottom grill on a refrigerator, but you state it's a microwave. Do you mean the vent grill across the top of a microwave?
If you would supply that info, I can get a picture up and help you.
Let me know.

The microwave portion won't heat food.
On many newer microwaves, the fuse can blow and the display will still work. I just
repaired an Emerson which exhibited the same symptom. The fuse is inside the
microwave and looks like an old style automotive fuse. Easy to get at any appliance
parts store for a couple of dollars. You have to remove the outer cover to access
the fuse. Make sure it is unplugged and be aware the capacitors can still be charged
and have quite a kick. The fuse will have the rating stamped on the ends and must
be of the exact same amperage (A) and equal or higher voltage (V). Hope this helps.

I have a Panasonic 1300
Does the microwave come up with an error code such as F3 for example? you stated it runs 2 seconds and shuts down it could be an indicator of a bad magnetron or a bad keypad controller problem, either way you would be further ahead replacing it in favor of a new one

How do you defrost rfa52
Switch off the power and place all the contents in a thick bage inside a large cardboard box, to keep it cold. Place a tray to catch the thawed ice in the apropriate place and wait.
When defrosted, wipe the surfaces down with an antibacterial liquid/spray of food grade quality and switch the power back on. Replace the frozen food, after checking the date codes, in the freezer

I have a hotpoint microwave replaced the hood
I expect you will find you now have a short circuit bi polar switch. It means that as long as there is power to the unit, it will be on permenantly. It is part of the control panel.

Bottom element in oven not
It may well be open circuit. Remove from the mains supply before attempting to remove the covers and to remove/test the element.
Most online suppliers, espares etc will supply replacement elements by model number.
Hope that helps.

The turntable on my hotpoint
Check to see if the glass is fitting properly on the motor slots. Sometimes they can work loose - which will make it not turn. Good luck!
