Ask the manufacturer. Check the manual. No Manual? Try the manufacturer web site.

On a GE/Hotpoint, F3 means you have a failed keypad.

You may consider using epoxy to "glue" the handle back into place. The epoxy will be stronger than the handle itself. If you do this get the one minute epoxy

F3 means you have a shorted membrane keypad.
If it's under warranty, you should be able to get it fixed free.
The "C" in the model number means it's made for the Canadian market, and contacting GE Canada seems to be impossible for us here in the States.
So you'll need to contact GE via the info in your owner's manual.
If it's out of warranty, it's best to replace it, GE does not make parts available for JES-series microwaves.
One assumes they're meant to be thrown away when they fail out warranty.
Please don't kill the messenger... :)
