What this codemay mean.
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.
According to the manual, FCE2 appears when the appliance cannot reach the router. Possible causes named: connection time out, poor signal strength, a failed router, the oven’s Wi-Fi module, or the associated wiring. The manual lists it for wall ovens.
Steps to try first
Power the oven down at the breaker, wait one minute, then power it up again.
For the next minute, monitor the oven to ensure the code stays off, then confirm it operates.
Next, re-set the wireless router. Ask yourself two things: does another Wi-Fi capable device work, and are your phone or tablet fine? Bring the device to the oven’s location to verify.
When the answer is yes, disconnect router power for 2 minutes and reconnect it. After that, disconnect the oven’s power for 2 minutes and reconnect.
A weak wireless signal can be improved by relocating the router, getting a compatible signal extender, or calling your Internet Service Provider.
