How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: No internal service is required for this condition.

  • Disable control lock: Press and hold the designated Control Lock or Hold 3 Sec button (often the Dry or Lock icon) for 3–5 seconds until the CL indicator turns off.
  • Power reset: If CL will not clear, turn off the breaker for 1 minute, then restore power and try disabling the lock again.
  • Check for stuck button: If the lock icon remains even after attempts to clear, the keypad may have a stuck button and the user interface board may need replacement.
  • Consult user manual: Refer to the specific Frigidaire Professional model manual for the exact control lock procedure.
