Control Lock Thank you for your question and I understand your concern. The "LOC" indicates the (Control Lock). This means the control panel has been locked and it will have to be unlocked before you can use the dryer. To unlock the control panel; press and release the Option and Select buttons at the same time.

The letters (LOC) indicates Controls are Locked. To avoid having someone accidentally start or stop the washer, press OPTIONS and SELECT at the same time until the Control (Control Lock) indicator is lighted. the controls, press OPTIONS and SELECT at the same time until the Control (Control Lock) indicator goes off.

Try...

8. Keylock This function allows to block unwanted changes of the set options on the bezel , during drying phase. Activation/Inactivation: Push 4 and 5 buttons simultaneously for two seconds . The sign "LOC" appears on the display. Unlocking the option, on the display appears the sign "Unl", only once. In case of opening of 'porthole' with activated key lock, the cycle stops but the lock is kept: to restart the cycle, you must remove the lock and restore Start. When the dryer is off, the option is automatically inactivated. Key lock can be modified at any time of the cycle.

Likely this is a machine state, not an error.

Hi i have a front load frigidare dryer and it displays the cycle time when you press start but it blinks back & fourth to loc & whatever cycle its ... Open Questions:.

From a google search the following is copied:

LOC is a control panel lock not a door lock, see below.

The Control Lock shuts down the control panel pads to prevent
unintended use of the ovens.
When the control is locked, only the CLOCK, TIMER SET and
TIMER OFF pads will function.
The Control Lock is preset unlocked, but can be locked.
To Lock/Unlock Control: Before locking, make sure the ovens,
Timer and Timed Cooking are off. Press and hold START/ENTER
until a single tone sounds and "Loc," a picture of a lock and
"START?" will appear on the oven display, about 5 seconds.
Repeat to unlock and remove "Loc" from display.

If the above does not work have you tried removing power from the uit for a few minutes to see if it will reset.

Hi, "LOC" indicates that the control panel settings are locked. Press the SELECT and OPTION button simultaneously to toggle this 'feature' on or off. Hope this helps.

The control is locked to avoid having someone accidentally start or stop the dryer. Press and hold the Options and Select buttons for 10 seconds or until the "LOC" on the display is cleared. Locking the control is done the same way it is unlocked.

You can do this by:
Check the oven display to see whether the screen says "LOC." When "LOC" is displayed, the oven lock is activated and the door cannot be opened. You need to make sure it is locked so you do not mistakenly lock the door.

2 Press and hold the "Stop" button on the oven control panel until "LOC" disappears from the display. Some oven models have a button marked "Oven Lock," which should be used instead of the "Stop" button.

Lock the oven again by pressing and holding the "Stop" or "Oven Lock" button until "LOC" appears in the display

HI. The term"LOC" will be an indication of the "Child Locking" feature that has been activated either by mistake or intentionally. This is a safety feature to prevent unwanted starts when children are present.

To unlock the controls,press "Options and Select" at the same time and hold for 10 seconds until ”LOC” is no longer displayed.

• NOTE_ If the release procedure doesn't unlock the unit and the letters LOC continue to appear, this will be a strong indication of a severe fault within the main control board. try to power cycle the unit if this is the case. if the power cycling doesn't produce good results, replace the main control board assembly.

HI. This is a simple lockout feature that will allow you to prevent accidental starts or stops when children are present. It can be initiated by pressing the Options and Select buttons at the same time for ten seconds. This will initiate the lockout feature and the letters "LOC" will appear on your display. To remove the control lock out, simply, press the Options and Select buttons together once again at the same time and hold them for 10 seconds. This will release the lock out and the letters "LOC" will disappear.
