Display shows LOC or a lock icon; oven controls do not respond and oven will not start a bake cycle.

Safety: This is not an electrical fault; no disassembly is required initially.

Steps:

• Disable control lock: On most Premier ovens, press and hold the Clock or Lock key for 3–5 seconds until LOC disappears. Refer to the user manual for the exact key combination.
• Power reset: If LOC will not clear, turn the breaker OFF for 2 minutes, then ON, and try the unlock sequence again.
• Check for stuck keys: If LOC reappears or keys are unresponsive, the keypad may be failing. Press each key firmly to see if any are stuck or non-responsive.

If the lock indicator will not clear and keys remain unresponsive, the touchpad or EOC may need replacement.
