Error codeFC E4
ApplianceRange
An antenna code, not a router code
FC E4 sends the attention to the range itself. The Wi-Fi Antenna built into it, or the wiring attached to that antenna, may have a problem; nothing further is stated.
Reset routine
Switch the range off at its breaker(s) and wait one minute.
Switch the breaker(s) back on.
Spend a minute watching the range to learn whether FC E4 comes back.
Check normal operation.
If the code remains
The antenna and its wiring are not parts an owner should open up, so a code that stays calls for a technician visit.
Related Wi-Fi codes
FC E5: also names the Wi-Fi Antenna and gives the same steps.
FC E9: a Wi-Fi Power Module code with matching steps.
FC E1: a router connection code with checks you can do yourself.
Booking Maytag range service in San Francisco
If FC E4 returns on a range anywhere in San Francisco or the Bay Area, call (415) 649-2156. Our Maytag range repair page explains the visit; say which code showed, give the model number and mention the reset you ran.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so FC E4 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
The range reports a possible problem with the Wi-Fi Antenna or the associated wiring.
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.
