FCE7 in plain terms
FCE7 means the appliance did not connect to your router. The entry gives no cause, and the commonest ones are details of the setup itself: the wrong network chosen, a password typed with a slip, or the oven taken out of its connection mode too soon. Work through those carefully, retry once, and only then suspect the router or the oven. None of it requires opening the oven or booking a technician at first.

Safety before you start
Safety
Switch off the breaker before removing any panel; a capacitor can hold a charge after the power is off. Network setup never requires opening 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. Keep the phone you use for setup away from a hot cooktop while you work through the steps.
When to book a service call for FCE7
Call if FCE7 persists after a careful setup with the correct network and password, and other devices connect to the router normally. At that point the router or the oven's wireless parts need checking, and the app's support line can often confirm which. Before calling, check whether the router has been set to hide its network name, since a hidden network has to be typed in by hand, exactly.
