Possible Causes
Control lock feature enabled, Stuck control panel button, Faulty user interface board, Control software glitch
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: No internal access is required for this step.
LC usually indicates the control lock is active, not a hardware failure.
- Unlock controls: Press and hold the lock button (or lock + another key per your model) for 3–5 seconds until the LC indicator disappears.
- Check button function: If the lock will not toggle, the button may be stuck. Gently clean around the button with a soft cloth and mild cleaner.
- Power reset: Unplug the refrigerator for 2–3 minutes and restore power to clear any temporary glitches.
- UI board check: If the lock indicator remains on and buttons are unresponsive, the user interface board may be faulty and require replacement.
