How to Fix LOC Error (Step-by-Step)
- Locate the ‘Control Lock’ button on the washer’s control panel.
- Press and hold the ‘Control Lock’ button for three to five seconds.
- The control lock light should turn off, indicating that the controls are now unlocked.
- If holding the button does not work, try unplugging the washer from the power outlet for one minute.
- Plug the washer back in and check if the control lock is deactivated.
- If the lock persists, there may be an issue with the control board, but this is rare for this specific error.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
