E63: the short version
A shorted oven sensor circuit brings up E63 on Maytag over-the-range microwaves. It is the control board that registers the short and puts the code on the display. The help text names the sensor, the appliance control board and the wiring as the likely trouble spots.
Maytag’s reset in short
Breakers off for one minute.
Breakers on.
One minute of watching for the code.
A check that the microwave runs.
Next step if E63 returns
Stop resetting and book a technician; Maytag says one may be needed. Mention the exact code when you book, since E62 carries the same shorted-circuit meaning.
Related codes
E62 reports the same shorted oven sensor circuit, E61 reports it open, and E24 is an overheat condition at the oven.
