My JES831WF001 counter top microwave will not respond. The key pad is locked and it displays a PF on the screen then a -F3- with three loud beeps. The keypad is locked during all of this and will not unlock. I tried the child lock but it was not effective.
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!

Hey JT Tai, I appreciate your post!
The symbol at the top left hand side of your display could be child lock symbol or vent symbol. If it is the child lock you should be able to press and hold the stop/cancel button down for 3 seconds to release the child lock.
If the light is on for the vent I would seek assistance from a professional for proper diagnosis and repair to be completed on your microwave. I hope this is helpful. -Matt
