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.
You can usually find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full model number here: http://tinyurl.com/gv383
There should also be a "mini-manual" hidden inside the unit behind the control panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is very helpful when troubleshooting & testing.
If you would like to have us do this for you, we do that for $39.95 plus part costs.
Please feel free to contact me directly if you need more help.
We're happy to help and we appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.

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!!!

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.
Some connectors on the relays may have a lock:

F3 means you have a shorted membrane keypad.
If it's under warranty, you should be able to get it fixed free.
The "C" in the model number means it's made for the Canadian market, and contacting GE Canada seems to be impossible for us here in the States.
So you'll need to contact GE via the info in your owner's manual.
If it's out of warranty, it's best to replace it, GE does not make parts available for JES-series microwaves.
One assumes they're meant to be thrown away when they fail out warranty.
Please don't kill the messenger... :)
