FCE4 and FCE5 share a KitchenAid entry about the Wi-Fi antenna or its wiring.
Model compatibility: KitchenAid reuses codes across series and model years, so FCE4 / 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.
Plain language
What this code means
Both FCE4 and FCE5 may indicate a problem with the range Wi-Fi antenna or its wiring.
These two do not send you off to check the router. KitchenAid words FCE4 and FCE5 the same way: there may be a problem with the Wi-Fi Antenna or the associated wiring. Because the antenna belongs to the appliance, the suspect part is on the range’s side of the connection.
The listed procedure
Under the heading “Reset power to the product”, KitchenAid gives these steps:
Turn the breaker off and leave it for one minute.
Turn it back on.
For one minute, monitor whether the code appears again.
Verify that the appliance operates.
The wall oven article carries the same wording. Its entry finishes by referring questions about the connected features to KitchenAid’s connected-appliance help line.
Router resets are not part of it
The router checks given for FCE1 through FCE3 have no place in this entry. An antenna or wiring fault is not something a router reset addresses, and the procedure here contains no such step.
Two numbers, one text
Both codes read identically, and KitchenAid does not explain what sets them apart.
If it comes back
When the breaker reset does not hold, the antenna and its wiring are hardware that only a technician can test. The range itself is what we would look at.
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.
