See this causes and fix it. God bless you
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.

SOURCE: F3 Message and Beeping

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.

It's at http://www.microwavedisplay.com/keypad_replacement.pdf

If you'd rather have us fix it for you, we do that for $39.95 plus parts and you can visit us via our link here on Fixya http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk

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:

SOURCE: advantium oven F3

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: 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

Ge Cafe Over the Range Microwave touch pad stopped making beeping sounds

If the touchpad on your GE Cafe over-the-range microwave has stopped making beeping sounds, there could be a few potential causes. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:
  1. Check the volume settings: It's possible that the volume settings on your microwave have been accidentally turned off or lowered. Look for a "Volume" or "Sound" button on your microwave and adjust the settings as needed.
  2. Check for a mute function: Some GE microwaves have a "Mute" button that allows you to silence the beeps temporarily. Make sure this feature hasn't been activated.
  3. Power cycle the microwave: Turn off the power to your microwave for a few minutes, then turn it back on. This can sometimes reset the touchpad and restore functionality.
  4. Check for error codes: If there's a problem with the microwave, it may display an error code on the control panel. Look in your user manual or search online for information on what the code means and how to resolve it.
  5. Call for service: If none of these steps work, there may be a problem with the touchpad itself. Contact GE customer service or a professional appliance repair technician for assistance.

GE microwave that will not stop beeping

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

The microwave is beeping at intervals and is flashing an F-3 Last night the vent was running full force and the beeping was going on too - I unplugged it but it didn't fix the problem

The error code of F3 on the GE microwave oven indicates a shorted keypanel/keypad.
Most likely the keypad will have to be replaced to fix your problem.

Chefmate microwave P70D20AL-D4 beeping

After calling many numbers, I was put in contact with the manufacturer, Galanz Microwave, and was told that that beeping is due to a burned out part in the keypad that is not servicable. I, too, have this annoying model!

Keeps beeping and shows F3 but keypad not working

Ya what the ????
Not shure what to tell you, first I would see if leaving unplug for a day would solve your problem, to me sound like main board is defective, also try by opening the door a closing it a couple of time, just in cass a switch is jam open.
