Electrolux dishwasher control panic locked - how do I unlock? Have tried pressing LOC button for 3-5 seconds and have turned circuit breaker on and off.

Try pressing and holding the Delay Start button for ~3 seconds. The 'loc' indicator should go out. If you hold the button for too long, then the lock could toggle back on. If the problem persists, you may have an issue with the keypad on the dishwasher.

I hope this helps. Please add a comment with the model number of the dishwasher if the control panel lock does not disengage.

To avoid having someone accidentally start or stop the washer, press OPTIONS and Select at the same time and hold for about 10 seconds until the Control Lock) lights up. "LOC" will be displayed alternately with the estimated cycle time. Turning the Cycle Selector knob or pressing any button will produce flashing indicator lights and/or beeping. To unlock the controls, press and hold OPTIONS and Select for about 10 seconds. Frigidaire GLTF2940ES3 Quick Start Manual Page 3

Good Morning Friend,

I understand your Electrolux dishwasher, model# EIDW5705PS, keeps getting stuck in LOC mode. I also see that you are looking for another way to reset it, other than having to uninstall it. First, I suggest trying to unlock your appliance by pressing and holding down the "Air Dry" button for 3-5 seconds. If that doesn't work, I suggest resetting your appliance, by shutting the power off at your home's circuit breaker, for 20-30 minutes. Restore power and try any cycle. I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your appliances status has changed successfully. Hope this is helpful.

Good Afternoon Friend,

I see that you are having trouble with the control lock not unlocking on your Electrolux range. I suggest resetting your appliance, by shutting the power off at the circuit breaker, for 3-5 minutes. Once you have restored power, the first thing you will need to do is set the clock. You will do this by entering in the time and pressing the start button. If the door has not unlocked, try pressing and holding down the control lock button for 5-10 seconds. I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your range status has changed successfully. Hope this is helpful.

Hi ja1078063,

I understand you having trouble getting your oven to work after using the self-cleaning mode. Does any part of the oven work? Confirm a fuse is not blown or a circuit breaker tripped. Test the power outlet with a lamp, hair dryer, etc.
Does "Loc" appear in the display if any button is pushed?
The Oven Lockout feature automatically locks the oven door, prevents most oven controls from being turned ON. Press and hold CLEAR/OFF for 3 seconds. A beep will sound. LOC will clear. The "DOOR LOCKED" will continue to flash until the oven door has completely unlocked.

Best Regards,

Good Afternoon David - When the light is on, the control is locked and no cycles can be selected or started. To de-select the Control Lock, press and hold the heat dry key or press down on the lock icon for approximately twenty seconds. If issue persists, you may reset the dishwasher by either unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. Wait approximately ten minutes and turn the unit back on. The dishwasher should resume to normal operations.

Try turning the power off at the circuit breaker ,wait for awhile then turn it back on

Hello Le'Cinda Rhone - Does any part of the range work? I would recommend verifying that a fuse is not blown or a circuit breaker tripped. Test the power outlet with a lamp, hair dryer, etc. Another question, does "Loc" appear in the display if any button is pushed? The Oven Lockout feature automatically locks the oven door, prevents the warmer drawer and most oven controls from being turned ON. If so, press and hold CLEAR/OFF for 3 seconds. Then a beep will sound and LOC will clear. The "DOOR LOCKED" will continue to flash until the oven door has completely unlocked. Does the clock display "Sd" or "dddd"? If so, the clock is in sales demo mode. Press and hold the "BAKE TIME" button for 6 seconds to exit sales demo mode. If this does not prove to be successful, contact a professional to have EOC diagnosed and/or to confirm that there isn't a wiring failure.

Try turning the circuit breaker off for 30 minutes. Then turn back on and see. If it keeps locking you may need new control console. Hope this helps.
