The Kenmore 87063 appears in Kenmore’s current lineup as a 1.7 cu ft over-the-range microwave with Precision Set electronic controls. It offers more than one venting arrangement and is sold in black, white or stainless steel.
Whoever built this unit, the name on the front will not say. We learn the builder from the prefix at the beginning of the model number on the label, and then match parts and test steps to that platform. Model and serial are copied from the label before we order.
Venting options matter for service. On an outside-vented install we look at the duct, the damper and the blower wheel, and on a recirculating install we look at the filter and the discharge opening. Then we test the door switches, the turntable and the controls. Your price is written down before we start, and our work comes with a 30-day workmanship warranty.

Does venting affect how the 87063 is serviced?
Yes. Outside venting means checking the duct and damper for blockage, while recirculating means checking the filter and the discharge side. We find out which one you have first.
The panel beeps but the cycle will not begin. Why?
On this type of microwave, a door switch that does not close can stop the start, even if the panel works. We test the latch and switches, then the control board.
Is the fan noise normal for an over-the-range microwave?
Some fan sound is normal. A new rattle or a weak airflow usually means a loose blower wheel, a worn motor or a blocked duct, and we check each before we suggest a part.
