The short answer on FC E6
FC E6 means there may be a problem with the Wi-Fi power module or its associated wiring. The documentation names the module that powers the oven's wireless connection, so the typical result is a wireless side that never comes up at all, with no network found and no connection possible. Cooking from the panel is usually unaffected, and a technician checks the module and its supply if FC E6 returns.

| FC E6 | There may be a problem with the Wi-Fi Power Module, or the associated wiring. |
Behaviour that comes with FC E6
- The app cannot find the oven at all — The wireless side is not powering up.
- A connection indicator that stays dark — No power reaching the wireless side, on models with an indicator.
- Cooking working normally from the panel — The fault is limited to the wireless side.
- FC E6 after every restart — A lasting power fault rather than a glitch.
Why FC E6 appears, in likelihood order
- The Wi-Fi power module — First: the documentation names it, and without it the wireless side cannot start.
- Its wiring or connector — Second: a supply lead or plug that has loosened or failed.
- A temporary fault — Third: cleared by a full power-down at the breaker.
- Anything else — The documentation lists only the power module and its wiring for this code.
Diagnosing FC E6: the order that saves time
- Do a full power-down — Breaker off for a minute restarts the wireless side from scratch.
- Check whether the app can see the oven — Not found at all points to power, not signal.
- Confirm the router works for other devices — Rules out the network side.
- Have the module and supply tested — If FC E6 returns after the power-down.
Clearing FC E6 and checking it safely
- Power down at the breaker — Switch off the oven's breaker for a minute, then on.

Safety on this appliance
Safety
Switch off the breaker before removing any panel; a capacitor can hold a charge after the power is off. The Wi-Fi power module sits among live parts inside the oven, so leave every panel in place. 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. Do not pull the range out to reach its supply; the breaker is the safe way to restart the module.
Reset or repair: where the line is
Call if FC E6 returns after a full power-down, or if the oven never appears in the app. The repair is limited to the power module or its supply wiring, so it can wait if you do not rely on remote features, but it will not clear on its own. Tell the technician whether the oven has ever appeared in the app; a module that once worked and then went dark is diagnosed differently from one that never came up.
