any advice on what it is telling me and how to fix it or stop it permanently
Most likely the problem is a bad touch pad.

Perhaps the following will help find your model number.

Make sure the unit is unplugged before doing any of the below.
RIBBON CABLE CLEANING
Unplug the unit
Open it up
Remove the ribbon cable from the keypad to the control board at the control board.
Clean the edge connector.
If it is the type where there is not a connector just the insulation is removed, it can be cleaned with a pencil eraser. Do not use an ink eraser as it is too abrasive.
Check the tracks in the ribbon cable for hairline cracks. A magnifying glass helps here.
Would not hurt to clean the connector on the board. Use electronics contact cleaner or isopropyl alcohol and a tooth brush. Be gentle and do not reconnect till all the solvent evaporates.
Reconnect everything and give it a try.
On a Magic Chef F1 does come up as a sensor problem but that can vary depending on the Model.
Could be that you have a bad solder connection or a cracked circuit trail on the control board.
