Display shows LOC or a lock icon; oven will not start and buttons may be unresponsive.

Safety First: No internal repair is needed for this feature; do not disassemble the oven for a LOC indication alone.

• Disable control lock: On most Thor Kitchen ovens, press and hold the Lock or Control Lock key for 3–5 seconds until the LOC indicator disappears. Refer to the user manual for the exact key combination.
• Power reset: If the lock will not clear, turn off the breaker for 1–2 minutes, then restore power and attempt to disable the lock again.
• Check keypad function: If the lock key does not respond but other keys do, the touchpad / control panel may be failing and require replacement.
• Service if persistent: If LOC remains on the display and no key combination clears it, the electronic oven control board may be stuck in lock mode and should be evaluated or replaced by a technician.
