How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Note: CL is typically a control lock indicator, not a fault.
Step 1: Unlock the controls
- Press and hold the Control Lock or Lock button for 3–5 seconds until the CL indicator disappears.
- On some models, press and hold the Freezer Up and Freezer Down buttons together.
Step 2: Test buttons
- After unlocking, press other buttons to confirm they respond.
Step 3: Check for stuck keys
- If CL reappears or buttons are unresponsive, the keypad or UI board may be failing and require replacement.
When to call a technician: If the control panel will not unlock or responds erratically, have the user interface board inspected and replaced if needed.
