Error code FCE2 (12-2)
Appliance Dishwasher
Quick answer

FCE2 (12-2) on the Kenmore MicroClean HE dishwasher: the Wi-Fi module is not paired with the home wireless router.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so FCE2 (12-2) 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

No link to the wireless router.

Quick facts

  • Shows as: FCE2 or 12-2
  • Means: no link to the wireless router
  • Applies to: Kenmore MicroClean HE dishwasher

Connecting the dishwasher

This is a setup message rather than a hardware fault. Your owner’s manual explains how to join the dishwasher’s Wi-Fi module to the wireless router at home, and that is the step the code asks for.

If another Wi-Fi code shows up

Compare with FCE1 for a communication failure inside the dishwasher, FCE3 when the router itself is offline, and FCE5 for the antenna.
