What this codemay mean.
A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.
Mean
There may be a problem with the Sensor, the Appliance Control Board, or the associated wiring.
Whirlpool lists E63 for a possible fault with the Sensor, the Appliance Control Board, or the associated wiring. The oven sensor circuit reported a shorted condition to the control board. That applies to over-the-range microwave models.
Try this first
Shut off the circuit breaker feeding the microwave and keep it off for one (1) minute.
Power the microwave back up at the breaker.
Spend one (1) minute watching for the code to reappear.
Verify that the oven function operates.
Should E63 appear again, it is time to call for a qualified technician.
