Quick answer
FCE9 points to the Wi-Fi Power Module or its wiring on Whirlpool ranges and wall ovens. The manual gives a breaker reset.
Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so FCE9 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

What this codemay mean.
A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.
Mean
FCE9 means there may be a problem with the Wi-Fi Power Module or the associated wiring.
FCE9 on a Whirlpool range or wall oven is a Wi-Fi Power Module message. The owner’s manual says there may be a problem with that module, or with the wiring connected to it. The entry covers ranges and wall ovens, and it does not name a model generation.
Reset the power first
Switch off the circuit breaker(s) for the appliance and leave them off for 1 minute.
Switch the breaker(s) back on.
Watch the display for 1 minute to see whether the code comes back.
Check that the appliance operates normally.
If FCE9 returns after the reset, the module and its wiring are a technician matter. Do not open the appliance yourself.
Related codes
FCE6 names the same Wi-Fi Power Module and its wiring.
FCE5 is the neighbouring Wi-Fi code, pointing at the antenna instead.
FCE8 sits next to it in the list and is cleared with the same breaker reset.
