My daughter's GE model JES1142Sjo4 mfg 9/07 has a peculiar habit of
turning on by itself. Every once in a while the unit goes into a
countdown for a few seconds and then automatically turns on with no
action from anyone. It can happen at any time. What can this be? Bill


probably needs a new control board.
perhaps bad electrolytic caps on the PCB. it may be responding to power
line glitches that the caps normally would filter out.

or a bad keypad,which may be part of the control panel anyways.
