Direct answer
On the covered JennAir wall oven, FC E8 means JennAir documents this display without stating a cause for it. Treat any cause you find elsewhere as unverified. First, record the exact code before clearing it.

Match every character and the exact product
ReversiblePhotograph the complete display and product label. This record covers FC E8 on JennAir wall ovens and combination wall ovens with electronic controls. Code availability varies by model and by whether the oven is electric, gas or a combination unit. This is a cooking appliance: if you smell gas, do not operate any switch — leave and call the gas supplier from outside.
Preserve the failure state
ReversibleRecord the exact code before clearing it. Record the operating stage, recent change and what still works before clearing the message.
Correct only the documented fault domain
ReversibleReset power as JennAir directs; arrange service if the code returns. JennAir documents these checks for this code: was the SAID number entered correctly; and was the correct appliance type and model number selected. Work them in that order and correct only what you actually find.
Verify once, then respect the service boundary
ReversibleRepeat only the shortest safe action that reaches the original stage. If FC E8 returns, stop repeated resets and use model-specific manufacturer support.
