How can I fix my GE Microwave, model no. jes636wd 001?

Initially about 15 seconds after applying power to the microwave the display reads pf, then after about 1 minute f4 and then four beeps.

Now when power is applied the display reads only PF. Please help.

I think "PF" means "Power Failure" and "F4" means "open humidity sensor". I found error codes on this site:

What happens when you unplug it for a minute or so then plug it back in?

Can you set the time?

It may be a bad keypad, a problem we can fix on the smart board, or a bad megnetron (if it gets scrambled while it's cooking).
