Code overview at a glance.

The facts for this Whirlpool error, a plain-language snapshot, and what to confirm against your model number.

Error code FCE1
Appliance Cooktop
Content status Verified
Quick answer

FCE1 refers to the touchpad or wiring; a breaker off-and-on reset comes first.

Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so FCE1 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Whirlpool

What this code may mean.

A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.

There may be a problem with the cooktop user interface (touchpad), or the associated wiring.

FCE1 in short

The touchpad, which Whirlpool calls the cooktop user interface, or the wiring connected to it, may have a problem. That is the whole message behind FCE1, and it is listed for electric/radiant as well as electric and induction cooktops.

Reset, step by step

Turn the cooktop’s breaker off, count a full minute, and turn it on. Then give it one more minute on its own to see whether FCE1 flashes up again. If it does not, check that the cooktop is operating properly.

Codes to check next

  • FCE4 for the touchpad-to-module harness
  • FCE0 for the supply or induction module
  • FC LR for a left front hotplate
