    When it goes into this "beeping" mode, does the display show any codes or anything unusual?

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.

    Replacing the keypad did fix the problem.

    I am having this beeping problem as well with my KBMC140HSS0. Did you replace the switch membrane (part number 4453025) or the electical control circuit (part number 4452482). Also, how to I get the front off to access the control panel?

Hi Carole,
Dear you most probably have problem with electronic control board in your microwave oven.
It has to be fixed by an Electronic Technician.

Microwave won't heat for first minute - starts working normally after that.

The magnetron may be defective. You can replace the magnetron, there is no other possibility.

Microwave beeping and F2 error code

hi,
The F2 code is a keyboard failure. Since it's intermittent I would check for a loose wire/connection. open the control panel and reset the ribbon cable on the circuit board....

Microwave/Convection Oven has mind of its own: turns to Crisp mode on its own.

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.

GE xl 1800 beep

The first thing to try is a "hard reset". Unplug it from the power line for a minute, plug it back in, set the clock, then try again.

Let us know if the hard reset doesn't fix it.
