The microwave flashes code 250 and beeps constantly and randomly
SOURCE: Microwave display flashing & beeping.
You have a failed membrane keypad.
On this model, GE doesn't make any parts available except the tray and the roller.
If it's in warranty, they will exchange or repair it.
It it's out of warranty, you're out of luck.
I'd advise you to contact GE Customer Service in case they may be able to help you.

happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your

SOURCE: How to stop the beeper and reset the "code' light on panel?
The first thing to try
is a "hard reset". Unplug it from the power line for a minute, plug it
back in, set the clock, then try again.
Let us know if the hard reset doesn't fix it, and please reply back with your model number so we can help you.

SOURCE: POSSESSED MICROWAVE!
wow.......... an exorcism may be in order.......Sadly your microwave circuitry is malfunctioning which is a costly repair. I would seriously consider trashing that possessed unit and purchasing a new one. the new ones are greener too, use quite a bit less electricity

Is there "F3" on the display?
If so, then you have a shorted membrane keypad.
If you (or someone you
know) might want to replace it yourself, I have uploaded a handy guide with pictures showing you what's typically
involved.
You can find
helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full
model number here.
There
should be a "mini-manual" (tech sheet) hidden inside the unit
behind the
control panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is
very helpful when troubleshooting, testing, and locating
components.
If you would like to
have us
do this repair for you, we do that for $39.95 plus part costs nationwide.
But please note that for
some GE models, the membrane keypad is not
available as a separate part, so you would have to order the control
panel frame assembly which comes with a new keypad.
In this case, you simply
move your circuit board into the new frame. That is a simple do-it-yourself
job.
Either way, we can let
you know what your options and costs would be and send you other
helpful info.
At
our Web site, we have a video
available showing how to remove a typical
over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.
Feel free to contact me directly (and please remind me of your
full model number from the tag on the unit) for more
information & help.

I would guess that you also have an F3 code on the display, meaning the membrane keypad is shorted.
If so, you would need a new "control panel sub asm", which is a control panel frame with keypad.
It's actually a pretty easy do it yourself job.
At
our Web site, we have a video available showing how to remove a typical
over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.
Next, disconnect the strip as shown in the photo below, then remove the screws that hold your circuit board in the old frame.
Then
carefully (since the display is made of glass) move your
circuit board to the new frame, and reassembly is the reverse of
disassembly.
