How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure all burners and oven functions are off.

  • Unlock controls: Press and hold the designated control lock key (often "Control Lock", "Hold 3 Sec", or a padlock icon) for 3–5 seconds until LOC disappears.
  • Clean keypad: Wipe the control panel with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly to remove any residue causing false keypresses.
  • Power reset: If LOC will not clear, turn off power at the breaker for 5 minutes, then restore power and try again.
  • Check for stuck key: If the lock key feels stuck or unresponsive, the touchpad may need replacement.
