My hotpoint microwave is locked not heating any key pressed it shows that its locked

Here is a previous answer that might be of help.......

The first thing I would suggest is a hard reset. Unplug the unit for a minute or so. Then plug it back in, set the clock and try again.

If it is still locked or goes into lock mode by itself, the "clear" key on your keypad may be shorting.
Here's how the child lock works on model FMV145:

Child Lock-Out
You may lock the control panel to prevent
the microwave from being accidentally
started or used by children.
To lock or unlock the controls, press and
hold CLEAR/OFF for about three
seconds. When the control panel is
locked, an "L" will be displayed to the
extreme right.

press start button twice it sounds as if it is still in child lock mode

Manuals for some Thermador Microwaves are available here: http://www.thermador.com/trade/specifications-guides . Scroll down to Microwaves and select your model. Then press the link for Product Manuals and then choose the manual.

On the MBES and MBESLFTD, the child lock feature is unlocked by pressing Settings 5 2 (touch each pad/number once).

If you have a different Thermador microwave, I'll check my stack of manuals for the specifics. (On a few other brands, the child lock can be toggled by pressing and holding the Start key. One of my other microwaves has a small padlock on the key to indicate the correct key. With that toggle, press and hold the key for 3-4 seconds or longer.)

I hope this helps.

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

Since it's a basic counter top microwave, this may not be worth repair when you consider the cost of a new comparable unit.

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.

The part number of your keypad is WB27X10624 and you can get it here for $51.37 plus shipping.

Good luck!

Press clear/reset button and hold 5 seconds. If this doesn't work unplug unit or shut off breaker for 10 seconds.

I had this same problem with my Maytag Microwave. Unplug the unit and plug it back in. It fixed my issue.

You may lock the control panel to prevent the microwave from being accidentally started or used by children.

To lock the control: press and hold the clear/off pad for about 3 seconds. The display will show "lock" and will then return to the time of day. A small "L" will be displayed to remind you that the control panel is locked. The display will show "lock" if anyone tries to use the microwave. On some models, you press and hold the "5" and "7" pads simultaneously for three seconds.

To unlock the control: press and hold the clear/off pad for about three seconds. Or on some models you press and hold the "5" and "7" simultaneously for three seconds

Please leave me a fixya rating if this solve your problem, Thanks

Brought microwave back to store. It didn't appear to be something I would be capable of fixing myself.
Got a new one which is working fine.

try checking interlock switches

It sounds like you press STOP two or three times to lock it. Maybe that (or another key) will unlock it.

The lock / unlock procedure will be covered in your owner's manual.

Or you can try a hard reset - unplug it from the wall for one minute, then plug it back in and try again.

If you don't have your manual, you can get one here. (Enter your model number without any spaces)
