Quick answer
On ranges and wall ovens, FCE9 refers to the Wi-Fi Power Module or its wiring; the manual starts with a breaker reset.
Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so FCE9 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

What this codemay mean.
A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.
Mean
FCE9 means there may be a problem with the Wi-Fi Power Module or the associated wiring.
What the manual says about FCE9
Shows on: Whirlpool ranges and wall ovens.
Meaning: a possible fault in the Wi-Fi Power Module, or in the wiring that goes with it.
Owner action: a power reset at the breaker.
How to reset
Turn off the breaker(s) feeding the appliance for 1 minute, then turn them on again. Give it 1 minute with the display in view, and confirm the oven or range works as it should. A code that stays away means the reset did the job.
If the code returns
A repeat of FCE9 after the reset calls for a technician to check the module and its wiring, so stop there and book a visit. Compare it with FCE6, which also blames the Wi-Fi Power Module, or FCE4, which concerns the Wi-Fi antenna.
