What this codemay mean.
A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.
Mean
The appliance did not connect to your router.
FCE7 reads: the appliance did not connect to your router. The manual covers over-the-range microwaves, ranges and wall ovens, and describes the fault as no link between the Wi-Fi Module and the internet.
Reset power first
Switch the breaker off for one minute.
Switch it back on.
Start a cycle.
Monitor the appliance for one minute so FCE7 does not display again.
Verify operation.
Then the router
Reset your wireless router. For the microwave and range instructions there is more: confirm that another Wi-Fi capable device operates and that your smartphone or tablet does at the appliance, then power the router down for 2 minutes and reconnect, and do the same for the appliance. With a weak signal, move the router, add a compatible signal extender or contact your Internet Service Provider.
