Error Code: LOC Difficulty: Easy
Problem: The dishwasher door is locked.
How to Fix LOC Error (Step-by-Step)
- Identify that the ‘LOC’ message means the child lock or control lock feature is active.
- This feature prevents accidental starting or stopping of the dishwasher.
- Look for a button on the control panel labeled ‘Control Lock’, ‘Lock’, or indicated by a small padlock icon.
- Press and hold this specific button for approximately 3-5 seconds.
- The ‘LOC’ light or message on the display will turn off, and you can now use the dishwasher controls normally.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
- Check for simple blockages (lint screen, drain path, or filter) and clean anything you find.
