My machine model number is ATF6700FS1. LOC appears in the lit, time area. I can't get it to reset and can't start the machine. I unplugged the mcahine and plugged it back in. I opened and shut the door to make sure it was closed. It will not allow me to choose any options either, it just keeps blinking LOC

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.
The control panel is locked. This is a safety feature on some models to keep children from pressing buttons and starting the machine. The USE and CARE manual will tell you how to disable the control lock. If the control doesn't unlock the have the customer take the machine back and get a Speed Queen. The ECU is faulty on the Maytag. I'm seeing lots of appliances from Whirlpool that don't work new out of the box at present.
Press Options and Select at the same time and hold for 10 seconds or until "LOC" is no longer displayed to unlock the controls. Press and hold the same buttons for 10 seconds until "LOC" is displayed alternately with the estimated cycle time to lock the controls. Unplug the machine for at least half an hour, if pressing the buttons does unlock the controls, to forcibly reset the machine control and eliminate the possibility of an electronic glitch.
It is the Lid lock, that is what loc means. It is integrated with the lid switch. Part needs to be replaced. Look up model number and go to appliance parts store or website. If at website print blow up of unit to see where switch is located. UNPLUG unit first.
Initially, have you tried a full hard reset? If not, pls unplug from
the mains. Most current devices would reset and revert back to factory
default settings (assuming no internal hardware fault) when unplugged
for a considerable period of time (a couple of
hours). Of course doing a hard reset erases all glitches as well as
user settings and configurations, the unit will revert back to factory default 9assuming no hardware fault).
Maytag Error Codes: LOC - this means configuration setting changes will not be allowed

Pressing the options and select buttons simultaneously for 5-10 seconds worked. For me it happened this way: on the first attempt, with the indicator lights already "timed-out" and off, pressing and holding the options and select buttons simultaneously for 5-10 seconds caused the lights to come back on and flash the "LOC" code again. But holding the options and select buttons together for 5-10 seconds a second time caused the indicator lights to stop flashing, and allowed me to start the cycle.
