FCE3: appliance could not connect to the router; reset power and router, then deal with weak signal.

What this code may mean.

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

The appliance could not connect to the router.

Quick answer

An FCE3 display on an over-the-range microwave or a range says the appliance could not connect to the router. The Wi-Fi Module and the wiring are among the manual’s possible causes, together with connection time out, poor signal strength and a failed router.

In order

  1. Switch the breaker off for 1 minute and back on.
  2. Watch for a minute and verify the appliance operates.
  3. Reset the wireless router.
  4. Check another Wi-Fi capable device, and your smart device at the appliance.
  5. If they work: router power off 2 minutes, then on; appliance power off 2 minutes, then on.

No full bars

Relocating the router, a compatible signal extender and a call to your Internet Service Provider are the options listed.
