How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: This is typically not a hardware failure. Do not disassemble the range for this condition alone.
Step-by-step:
- Unlock sequence: On most Premier electronic ranges, press and hold the "Lock" or "Clock" key (refer to your model's user manual) for 3–5 seconds until LOC disappears from the display.
- Power reset: If the lock will not clear, turn off power at the breaker for 1 minute, then restore. Try the unlock sequence again.
- Check keypad: If the lock indicator remains and keys do not respond, the keypad may be failing. Inspect for physical damage or liquid intrusion.
- Service if needed: If the control remains locked despite correct procedure, the touchpad/control panel assembly or EOC may need replacement.
