Frigidaire Washer Error Code LOC

LOC on a Frigidaire washer means the Control Lock feature is engaged, preventing the control panel buttons from responding to input. It is not an error or fault code. The display alternates between LOC and the estimated cycle time to let you know the controls are locked. Pressing and holding Options and Select together for 10 seconds will unlock the panel.

Unplugging the washer will not reliably clear the LOC code. The Control Lock setting is stored in the control panel and typically persists even after a power interruption. The correct method is to press and hold Options and Select at the same time for 10 seconds until LOC disappears from the display.

In nearly all cases, there is no cost to resolve a LOC code since it is cleared by pressing and holding two buttons for 10 seconds. If the code persists after correctly performing the unlock procedure, or if a stuck control panel button is identified as the cause, a service call could range from around 75 to 150 dollars depending on your location and the extent of any required repairs.

Press and hold the Options and Select buttons simultaneously for 10 seconds. Continue holding until the LOC indicator disappears from the display, which confirms the control panel is unlocked. Once unlocked, all buttons should respond normally. No tools or parts are needed for this procedure.

Yes, the LOC code does not indicate any safety hazard or mechanical problem. Your washer can still run a wash cycle when the control lock is active. The only effect is that the control panel buttons will not accept new inputs while the lock is engaged, so you cannot change settings or cancel the cycle from the panel.
