Touchpad and Control Panel
If the microwave buttons don't work the touchpad and control panel assembly are probably defective
Touchpad
If the microwave buttons don't work the
touchpad might be at fault. Generally speaking, if the
display is working and some of the buttons respond correctly but some
don't, the problem is with the touchpad.
User Control and Display Board
If the microwave buttons don't work the main
control board is most likely defective and will need to be replaced.
Main Control Board
If the microwave buttons don't work the main
control board is most likely defective and will need to be replaced.

On a GE/Hotpoint, F3 means you have a failed keypad.
If you or someone you know might want to replace it yourself, I have uploaded a handy guide with pictures showing you what's typically involved.

SOURCE: Turn off Beep on old Magic Chef microwave
On some older models, there is a sliding switch on the bottom edge of the control panel that turns it off. I've seen these on older Amanas, but not sure about others.
In newer models, they have some kind of help key which will get to to a menu which will turn it off.
Other models in between usually don't have that feature. In such cases, I as a technician have removed the beeper or taped over it to make it quieter, or even lifted one leg of a resistor attached to the beeper.
Someone less technical or less patient could just push the beeper sideways until it snaps off. No more beeps! *grin* And really, it is much weaker than the circuit board so it's a viable, if inelegant solution.
One other thing is to call Magic Chef with your model number:

F3 means a shorted keypad. Is it possible that some spray cleaner got onto or into the controls?
I always recommend that instead users spray cleaner on a soft cloth then wipe the control panel.
Also, I always recommend non-ammonia cleaners since ammonia can crack and damage plastic.
Otherwise, the spray can get into the controls and lock it up or make it act odd.
If it does not dry out over time, it may need to be manually dried or blown out.
Othwrwise, the keypad may be damaged or worn out, or control unit may be damaged.
Some people replace them or have us do it.

SOURCE: microwave beeping and says keypad short may need
the membrane gets dirt under them and shorts out the keypad,you may as well just replace the control board which includes the display and keypad on the same board
SOURCE: My GE microwave JVM1740DM1WW no
there is no easy fix to this units current problem it will need to be looked at by a service tech as the fault is an internal circuit shortout and needs to have the faulty circuit found and then replaced using expensive testing units
sorry

he most likely cause of this problem is a keypad on the control.
You can try the stop/clear keypad to silence the beeping.
You can put the controls into child lock and see if the intermittent beeping stops. The instructions to turn the child lock feature you have it in the owner manual . The child lock disables most keypads.
otherwise replace the control board.
God bless you
