Quick answer
FCE8 is a Registration Error on over-the-range microwaves; the guide asks you to recheck the SAID number and the selected model.
Model note: Whirlpool 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.

FCE8 is a Registration Error on a connected over-the-range microwave.
Registration Error on an over-the-range microwave
An over-the-range Whirlpool microwave shows FCE8 when connected-appliance registration does not go through. The manual lists only two things to review, both at the registration stage.
SAID number: if it was typed wrongly, a Registration Error is displayed; type it in once more. Finding the number is explained under SAID Location in the guide’s Other Info section.
Appliance type and model number: picking the wrong one at the start of registration triggers the same error.
We cover the Miami, New York, Houston, Los Angeles and San Diego metro areas. For a Whirlpool microwave with FCE8, call (844) 968-2053. Please prepare the code, the model number and the checks already done. Service options are listed on the site.
Stop immediately if you notice smoke, sparks, a burning smell, gas odor, or water near electrical parts.

Important
