FCE8 is about setup entries, not a hardware fault: SAID, appliance type and model number.
Model compatibility: KitchenAid reuses codes across series and model years, so FCE8 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
KitchenAid says FCE8 is a registration error from a wrong appliance type or model number selection, or an incorrectly entered SAID number.
Unlike every other FCE code, FCE8 has nothing to do with a part, a router or a signal strength. KitchenAid’s entry is titled “Registration Error”, and it shows up while the connected-appliance features are being set up. The help asks two things of you.
What to recheck
The SAID number. A mistyped number causes the Registration Error. KitchenAid suggests entering it once more.
The appliance type and model number. These are chosen at the start of registration, and a wrong choice for either gives the same error.
No breaker reset here
The entry does not blame the appliance, so it lists no power reset. What needs correcting is the information typed or selected during setup.
Locating the SAID
For help finding the number, the entry points to a “SAID Location” section in KitchenAid’s troubleshooting guide.
A question
Can I still cook while FCE8 is showing? The entry does not discuss cooking. It covers only the registration error and the rechecks.
After re-entering everything
The entry ends with the two checks and a reference to the connected-appliance help line. No repair of the range is described, which means there is no hardware step for you to take.

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.
