KitchenAid Cooktop Code FCE0: Supply, Wiring or Induction Module
What FC E0 means on a KitchenAid cooktop, the breaker reset the manufacturer gives, and when a qualified technician is the next step.
Model compatibility: KitchenAid reuses codes across series and model years, so FCE0 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 code means
KitchenAid lists a possible fault in the power supply, the associated wiring or the Induction Module.
FC E0 at a glance
- Spelling: KitchenAid prints FC E0 with a space; owners usually type FCE0. Same code.
- Possible causes named: the electrical supply, the associated wiring, the Induction Module.
- Tone of the source: hedged. The wording is that there “may be a problem”.
- Owner action: a single breaker reset.
Where the Induction Module fits
A cooktop that works by induction creates a magnetic field to heat cookware rather than a glowing element. The module in this code is the electronic unit behind that heating. No owner step from KitchenAid touches it.
At a glance
| Code | FCE0 |
|---|---|
| What it means | A possible fault in the electrical supply, the wiring or the Induction Module. |
| What you can check | Turn the cooktop's breaker or breakers off for one minute and back on, then watch the display for another minute. Check that the cooktop runs normally. |
| When to call a technician | If FC E0 returns, a qualified technician may be needed. Since the home's electrical supply is one possible cause, a qualified person should look into it; give the code and what you tried. |
Reset sequence
- Turn the cooktop’s breaker or breakers to off and wait one minute.
- Turn them back on.
- Give it another minute and look for FC E0 on the display.
- Check that the cooktop runs normally.
What a second appearance suggests
KitchenAid’s combined electric and induction page notes you may require assistance from a qualified technician. With the home’s electrical supply being one of the three candidates, looking into it is a job for a qualified person.

FAQ
Is this an electrical emergency?
KitchenAid does not call it one. The supply appears as one of three possibilities, and the request is to reset the power and monitor.
Why is the Induction Module listed for electric models?
Both the electric and induction cooktop pages carry the code with the same wording. The manufacturer does not comment on why.
