The microwave shows F3 code. I found out from web that it is a shorted key panel. Can somebody tell me how to replace the key panel. Is it easy to do this if I buy the part from ApplianceParts. A step by step instruction will be very much appreciated if it is easy to replace.
Check the ribbon connection to the control board.

Sounds very strange to me. If the control board did respond with the shorted key pad, what could cause a damage now?
Anyway, the price for the new control board is $141.05.
A new microwave will cost you something between $250 to $300 plus installation. It is very hard to say which idea is better.

Open the dryer door. Find two small-headed screws at the top of the (doorway). Removing these screws allows you to raise the top. You may need to loosen the console in order for the top to come clear. All the thermostats are accessible at the rear of the tumbler (drum).
I had exactly the same problem. However, I finally got it to work by making sure the ribbon was inserted correctly… lift the top part of the connector, push the ribbon down gently until you fell it grip and then push down the top of the connector to keep it tight. it finally worked for me… Hope this helps.
