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

Error code FCE4
Appliance Cooktop
Content status Verified
Quick answer

FCE4 refers to the harness linking the touchpad and induction module, with a one-minute breaker reset.

Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so FCE4 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 wire harness connecting the cooktop user interface (touchpad) to the induction module.

Reading the FCE4 message

Whirlpool ties this code to the wire harness that links the touchpad (the cooktop user interface) with the induction module. Help pages exist for electric/radiant cooktops and for electric and induction cooktops.

Manual reset in four moves

  • Power down: breaker off for one minute.
  • Power up: breaker on.
  • Monitor: one minute, to see if the code returns.
  • Verify: the cooktop should operate.

Where else to look

For a touchpad message without the harness, see FCE1. For the electrical supply and the induction module, see FCE0. Hotplate-specific codes such as FC RR are separate.
