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.

    We just had this happen. Our Dryer went on LOC for no reason. We cut the power from the breaker box and turned it back on and then the dryer worked fine. We will be calling the place we bought it from though. This was really a pain.

    Neither option helped cut ther breaker box, and then pressed select and option at same time with no results still showing LOC and not responding at all

    the option and select solution did not work, but we turned the breaker off and on - that worked after the first try; Thanks for that solution and problem solved.

How do I reset my Frigidaire Affinity front load gas dryer when the LOC is displayed

Likely solution as I do not have the full model number of your dryer.

This means dryer control board thinks your machine is locked--- to get it out of lock mode normally do this:

press and hold "Options" and "Select" at the same time until it unlocks

If it doesn't unlock within 20 seconds you have a bad control board and it needs to be replaced.

see page 11 in this manual.

Frigidaire affinity dryer loc

LOC is a generic lock code meaning the door was either locked manually or accidentally. Also LOC will lock the control panel and can be manually locked as well. Try to reset the unit for about 10-15 minutes and retry.

I have a Frigidaire Affinity Clothes dryer manufactured in 05/07 that is displaying a code E68 after in runs for just a few minutes. Any idea what could be causing this?

The error code E68 means a key or button is stuck. Check the buttons by pressing them one at a time to find the stuck one or enter the service diagnostic mode then the key function test. Click on the link below for the detailed instructions.

I am trying to use the dryer and an error code of LOC comes on and it won't run

The control is locked. Press and hold the OPTIONS and SELECT button at the same time for 10 seconds or until "LOC" turns off. To lock the control, press and hold OPTIONS and SELECT until "LOC" is displayed. Unplug the machine for at least 30 minutes if pressing and holding the said buttons does not unlock the control to eliminate the possibility of an electronic glitch. The control may need to be replaced if unplugging the dryer still doesn't solve the problem.

Loc

It means 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.

What does the code LOC mean?

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.

Hi,

"LOC" indicates that the control panel settings are locked. Press the SELECT and OPTION button simultaneously to toggle this 'feature' on or off. This will fix the issue.

Thank you !!
