My daughter's GE model JES1142Sjo4 mfg 9/07 has a peculiar habit

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?


First, let me say that the way you've chosen to describe the problem in
your subject line is really stupid.

Why would you characterize this behavior as "smart", such that solution
is to "un-smart" the device?

Why wouldn't you simply say "Need solution for GE microwave - turns on
by itself" ?

As for the solution, look he

They indicate that the keypad or keypad membrane is causing the
problem. If you're handy, it might be something you can fix yourself if
you can buy a replacement keypad.



Fix it?? That would be so 1950's Do the modern thing and hire a
lawyer to start a class action law suit!

I just got a check for $0.37 from a class action against ebay. WOW.
Don't even really know why.

It does, in my book, sound like something GE should offer a free fix
for. To have the keyboard fail in such a way the that it mimics the
correct key sequence to enter a time and start the oven is very weird.
