FC E1 on a Maytag wall oven is a Wi-Fi problem: the appliance could not connect to the router.
What this code means
FC E1 Wi-Fi connection
The appliance could not connect to the router; the cause may be the Wi-Fi module, signal strength, the router or the wiring.
When a Maytag wall oven shows FC E1, the appliance could not connect to the router. The manual lists several possible reasons: a connection time out, poor signal strength, a failed router, the Wi-Fi module in the appliance, or the associated wiring.
Start with the oven
- Turn the circuit breaker(s) off for one minute.
- Turn the breaker(s) back on.
- Monitor the oven for 1 minute to see that the code does not display again.
- Verify oven operation.
Then the router
If there is no link between the Wi-Fi module and the wireless router, reset the router. Check whether another Wi-Fi capable device works correctly, and whether your smartphone or tablet does. Carry the smart device to the oven location and test it there. When it works, unplug the router for 2 minutes and reconnect it, then disconnect power to the oven for 2 minutes and reconnect that as well.
Weak signal
- Relocate the router within the home
- Use a compatible signal extender
- Get in touch with your Internet Service Provider
