What this code means
E62
The oven sensor circuit reported a shorted condition to the control board.
Understanding the code
A shorted oven sensor circuit is what E62 stands for: the control board received a shorted condition. Maytag lists the sensor, the appliance control board and the associated wiring as the possible sources. Over-the-range is the series the help text covers.
How to reset
First, take the power off at the circuit breaker(s) for one (1) minute. Switch the breaker(s) back on afterwards. Monitor the display for one (1) minute and note whether the error remains absent. The final step is to verify the microwave operates.
Keep E62 in mind when you call: if it returns after the reset, service is the next step.
