A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.
Mean
The oven could not connect to the router; there may be a Wi-Fi module, signal or router problem.
The manual lists it for wall ovens.
Meaning of FCE1
FCE1 means the oven could not connect to the router. The manual lists a Wi-Fi module problem from a connection time out, poor signal strength, a failed router, the Wi-Fi module in the oven, or the associated wiring.
Reset steps from the manual
Turn the circuit breaker off for one minute, then switch it back on.
Watch the oven for one minute to see if the code displays again, and verify that the appliance operates.
Reset your wireless router. Before that, check whether another Wi-Fi device such as a smartphone or tablet works correctly, and carry it to the oven to verify.
If it works, unplug the router for 2 minutes and plug it back in, then cut power to the oven for 2 minutes and restore it.
Not getting full bars? Move the router somewhere else in the home, add a compatible signal extender, or contact your Internet Service Provider.
