How to Fix LOCK Error (Step-by-Step)

  1. Locate the ‘Lock’ button on your refrigerator’s control panel. It may be labeled with a key or a lock symbol.
  2. Press and hold the ‘Lock’ button for three to five seconds.
  3. You should hear a beep or see the lock symbol disappear from the display, indicating the control panel is unlocked.
  4. If holding the ‘Lock’ button does not work, try pressing and holding the ‘Options’ or a similarly named button, as the lock function can sometimes be a secondary feature.
  5. If the lock persists, unplug the refrigerator from the power outlet for 5-10 minutes to perform a soft reset.
  6. Plug the refrigerator back in. The control lock should now be disengaged.
  7. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

Still Not Working?
