How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: This is not a hardware failure; no disassembly is required.

  • Disable child lock: On most LG ranges, press and hold the Lock or Control Lock key for 3–5 seconds until the LOC indicator turns off. On some models, press and hold Clear/Off and 0 together.
  • Check user manual: If unsure of the key combination, refer to the model-specific user manual for the child lock instructions.
  • Stuck key: If LOC will not clear, check if any key is physically stuck. If so, the keypad may need cleaning or replacement.
