What this code means
FC E7 means the microwave did not connect to the router; its Wi-Fi module has no link to the internet.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
