Frigidaire Range Error Code door Loc

"Door Loc" on a Frigidaire range is a status message indicating that the oven door lock mechanism is engaging or is fully engaged. This happens automatically when a self-clean cycle starts or when the oven control lockout feature is activated. It is not a fault code and does not indicate a malfunction in most cases. The message will clear once the lock is released after cooling or after the lockout mode is deactivated.

When "door Loc" appears during a self-clean cycle, the oven is operating at very high temperatures and the door lock is a safety feature that prevents the door from being opened. Do not attempt to open the door or interrupt the process by force. If the message appears unexpectedly and the oven is not in self-clean mode, avoid using the range until the cause is identified.

If the door lock motor needs replacement, parts typically range from around $30 to $80 depending on the model, with professional labor adding $100 to $200 or more. A door lock switch is generally less expensive, often in the $15 to $40 range for the part alone. Control board replacement is the most costly repair, with parts commonly ranging from $150 to $350 or higher.

If the message appeared because of a self-clean cycle, allow the cycle to complete and then wait for the oven to cool before the door will unlock automatically. If the control lockout was activated, consult your model's control panel instructions to deactivate it, typically by pressing and holding the designated lock button. If the message persists after the oven has cooled and no lockout is active, the door lock motor or lock switch may need inspection or replacement.

Resetting the range by shutting off the circuit breaker for a few minutes may clear the message if it was triggered by a minor control glitch. However, if the message persists after a reset and the oven is not in self-clean mode or control lockout mode, a component fault such as a failed door lock motor or switch is likely present and will require further diagnosis.
