KitchenAid describes FCE8 as a registration error caused by a wrong type, model number or SAID entry.
Model compatibility: KitchenAid reuses codes across series and model years, so FCE8 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
Connected-appliance registration failed because of a wrong appliance type or model number, or a SAID entered incorrectly.
Of all the FCE codes on KitchenAid’s over-the-range microwave page, FCE8 is the one about paperwork rather than connection. It is a registration error that turns up while the connected appliance is being set up.
At a glance
| Code | FCE8 |
|---|---|
| What it means | Connected-appliance registration failed because of a wrong appliance type or model number, or a SAID entered incorrectly. |
| What you can check | Review the appliance type and model number chosen at the start of setup, then check the SAID you typed and enter it again. Those are the only steps for this code. |
| When to call a technician | This code points to setup entries, not a failed part. If registration still will not complete, schedule a service visit and have the model number and the SAID you used ready. |
What KitchenAid asks
| Check | Article says |
|---|---|
| SAID typed correctly? | A wrong SAID causes the “Registration Error”; type it again. |
| Right appliance type and model number? | Setup opens with those two choices, and a wrong pick gives the same error. |
About the SAID
KitchenAid names it the SAID number and refers readers to a “SAID Location” part of its troubleshooting guide. Owner materials or the help page should show where yours is printed.
What to do, in order
- Review the appliance type and model number picked at the beginning.
- Review the SAID you keyed in, then enter it again.
That is every instruction the article gives for FCE8.
No part is blamed
The source lists no board, sensor or wire fault and no breaker reset for this code. If your issue is really a failed connection, go to FCE1, FCE2 and FCE3 or to FCE7.
