What F10 says
A shorted touch screen is the fault behind F10. GE includes it among the codes for all of its microwave ovens, and it is relevant to models fitted with a touch screen.
GE’s instruction
For any fault code that the microwave control displays, the manufacturer wants a trained service technician to diagnose and correct the problem.

Call (415) 729-2045 if your GE microwave in the San Francisco Bay Area displays F10. Describe how the screen behaves and read out the model number. Further details are under microwave repair.
Model compatibility: GE reuses codes across series and model years, so F10 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
