Error codeFCE7
ApplianceMicrowave
Meaning
An FCE7 display tells you the appliance did not connect to your router. Whirlpool publishes it for over-the-range microwaves, ranges and wall ovens, and describes it as no link between the Wi-Fi Module and the internet.
Do these in sequence
Breaker off, one minute (or unplug the appliance).
Breaker on, then start a cycle.
Stay with it for a minute and see whether FCE7 returns.
Verify operation.
Reset your wireless router.
Extra advice for microwaves and ranges
These two appliance types come with a few more instructions:
Try a second device that uses Wi-Fi and see that it operates.
Walk a smartphone or tablet over to the appliance to see if it works at that spot.
If it does, take the router off power for 2 minutes and reconnect, then give the appliance the same treatment.
A weak signal means moving the router, adding a compatible signal extender, or contacting your Internet Service Provider.
Compare
FCE2 is listed for a failed connection to the router, while FCE8 is a registration error with only reset steps.
