What FC E4 means
FC E4 means there may be a problem with the Wi-Fi antenna or its associated wiring. The antenna carries the oven's wireless connection, so remote and app features are what suffer, while on most models cooking from the panel is unaffected. Restart the oven and your router once, retry the connection, and have the antenna and its lead checked if FC E4 returns.

What triggers FC E4, most likely first

- The antenna lead or connector — Second: a thin lead that can loosen or be pinched, especially after service work.
- A temporary connection fault — Third: cleared by restarting the oven and the router.
- Anything else — The documentation lists only the antenna and its wiring for this code.

Before any panel comes off
Safety
Switch off the breaker before removing any panel; a capacitor can hold a charge after the power is off. Do not open the oven's panels to look for the antenna, which sits among live wiring. If you use remote features, check the oven in person until the connection is reliable again. On a gas range, if you smell gas, do not switch anything on or off, leave the building, and call the gas utility or emergency services from outside.
When FC E4 needs a technician
Call if FC E4 returns after restarting the oven and router, with other devices connecting normally. The repair is limited to the antenna or its lead, so it is not urgent if you can live without remote features for a while. If a technician visits for another reason, mention FC E4 too; the antenna lead is quick to check once the panel is already off.
