Controller is confusedA
power surge or random non-reproducible action of the universe may have
resulted in the controller's program ending up in an infinite loop. Pull
the plug for a minute or two to reset it.
Defective Interlock switchesThis can result in the controller thinking the door is open and ignoring you.
CleaningCleaning
solutions (spray cleaner) may have gotten inside and shorted out the
touchpad or controller. If this happens remove the touchpad, let it air
dry for a few days, and then attach it back on the microwave.
My microwave is doing this as well; It's a frigidaire model #FGMV154CLFA.
After using the microwave part (it is also convection), the light stays on in the microwave and the turner keeps turning.
And I've only used the convection part of my microwave a couple times and I'm not sure if I was successful. While trying to cook something in convection mode, I pressed convection, then pressed the temp i wanted, then convection, then keyed in the time I wanted the item to cook. The microwave started and the timer started counting down but the countdown stopped with 8 minutes left? I left it alone to see what would happen and it never finished so I restarted the process again.
The technical sheets in my files do not list F6 on the error code chart for GE microwaves.
Generally, these are the error codes possible on GE microwaves:
F1 open thermal sensor (convection models) F2 shorted thermal sensor (convection models) F3 key panel shorted for more than 60 seconds F4 open humidity sensor F5 shorted humidity sensor
There should be a "mini-manual" (technical sheet) hidden inside the unit behind the control
panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is very
helpful when troubleshooting, & testing.

our Web site, we have a video available showing how to remove a typical
over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.

Yes this is a touchpad issue. As you have noted the crisp button is stuck and this is the cause of this. You can try removing the keypad and push up the pressed button. If its jammed then replacing it is the only way.
Hi, if it went dead while it was in use, then it sounds like the HV section (magnetron, HV diode, inverter section - if used, etc) has failed, possibly only economic to fix if it is a convection microwave.
I started having the same problem with my KBMC140HSSO. You cannot see the error codes without disassembling the control panel (the codes are on another display that covered by the front panel). After doing so I found the error code to be F2, E3 which is "Key held down too long, or key shorted". I am ordering a replacement keypad and will report back if this fixes the problem.
