My Kenmore Super Capacity 3.5 Front loader won't run. You can set the dial to which type of cycle and the minutes will pop up, but then it blinks "err" andalso alternatively "LOC". The troubleshooting guide with the manual does not mention this problem. Tried unplugging the machine and plugging back it with no success.

The LOC code merely means the control responded and locked the door. You'll find a tech sheet under the top panel of the machine to help guide you thru the diagnostic process, which is fairly involved.
LOC means it thinks the control panel is locked. This gives the ERR indication when you push the buttons. To unlock it you need to hold down the Options and Select buttons together until it reacts.
I know this may seem silly but - On the top right back corner of your washer hit it with medium force with your fist, this helps.

Yes, it was locked. Unfortunately this happened back in January. So it cost me $120 for a tech visit to realize it was locked. Apparently someone in the house had leaned against the buttons long enough to lock it unknowingly. Never thought of the child-safe measure since there are no little children in the house. Why they didn't have this information in the manual I do not know.
But thanks for your answer anyway!
