What this code may mean.

A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.

There may be a problem with the wire harness connecting the cooktop user interface (touchpad) to the induction module.

An FCE4 reading on a Whirlpool cooktop means there may be a problem with the wire harness that connects the cooktop user interface (the touchpad) to the induction module. The manual lists it for electric/radiant cooktops, and for electric and induction cooktops as well.

What to do first

  1. Turn the cooktop’s circuit breaker off for one minute.
  2. Turn the breaker on.
  3. Observe the cooktop for one minute without using it, looking for FCE4.
  4. Check operation.

If FCE4 does not clear

A wire harness between two parts is technician territory, so the next step is to arrange service.

Related codes

FCE1 covers the touchpad itself, and FCE0 mentions the supply and the module. FC RF is a hotplate code.
