What this code means
E63
The oven sensor circuit reported a shorted condition to the control board.
Display meaning
Your microwave shows E63 because the control board was told the oven sensor circuit is shorted. Possible sources named by Maytag: the sensor, the appliance control board, the associated wiring. Maytag documents it for over-the-range microwaves.
Power-down and restart
Begin at the circuit breaker(s) and turn them off for one (1) minute. Return the breaker(s) to the on position. Check on the microwave over one (1) minute, looking for the code to reappear. End with a check of microwave operation.
Should E63 come back, the text recommends calling or scheduling service.
