FCE5 in short
You may meet this on a range or on a wall oven. According to the manual, trouble could sit in the Wi-Fi antenna, or in the wires that connect it.
What to do
Remove power at the breaker for a minute (unplugging is the alternative), then put it back. Keep the appliance in view for another minute in case FCE5 shows up again, and make sure it operates normally.
When FCE5 keeps coming back on a range in the Bay Area, call (415) 687-4102 in San Francisco. Have the model number and your reset notes with you. More on Whirlpool range repair here.
Model compatibility: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so FCE5 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
