GE Sensor Microwave model JES1456wf001 error code F3....how do we fix . Microwave comes on when plugged in and then reads to set clock and then it rings several times and we get an F3 code

F3 is a shorted key pad. To prove this, unplug the ribbon cable of the key pad from the control board and this symptom should go away when you plug the AC cord back into the wall. BE CAREFUL!!!

I report from owner manual.

F3 means : Short circuit on key panel (your touch pad).
You get F3 error if a shorted key panel is detected for more than 60 seconds.
Solution: . Replace key panel (touch pad).

Try first unpluggign power cord for five minutes.

If you think that the problem may had been caused by water inside the keypad you can try using an hairdryer on the keypad, taking care not to melt the keypad plastic.
If that does not work, then replace the keypad.

You can buy replacements here. or Order GE Microwave Ovens Parts Here

No, unfortunately the membrane keypad is not available as a separate part on this model.

You would have to order the control panel frame, which comes with a new keypad already installed.

The part number is WB07X10883 and you can get it for $86.82 here.

In this case, you simply move your circuit board into the new frame. That is a simple do-it-yourself job.

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

Then you unplug the keypad (as per the photo below) and move the circuit board into your frame.

To unstick a frozen key , which causes the F3 code error, use your vacuum cleaner hose's suction over all the keys and you,ll easily fix your microwave at no cost. Have a nice day.

Thank you Judy for the advice!!! It worked!!!

Membrane keypads can be intermittent before they fail permanently.

Using heat, or a vacuum cleaner, or miscellaneous cleaning tips are not solutions, they are Band-Aids at best.

When a membrane keypad is failing, replacing it is the only safe, viable option.

Word of advice on F3 error code...
Before you conclude it's a bad Control Panel throw the circuit breaker that powers it for about 30 min. If you just turn the breaker on and then off quickly, the panel doesn't have time to reset and will throw the F3 again. You'll know it's reset if the panel says Set The Clock. That saved me a repair and downtime.
