# KitchenAid over-the-range microwave error code LOC

### What KitchenAid publishes for LOC on a over-the-range microwave

LOC or "L" or Padlock Icon in display: The Control Lock feature is ENABLED Depending on model: A) Press & Hold the Cancel key for 3 seconds. B) Press & Hold Start key for 5 seconds. or: Refer to the Owner's Manual for detailed control operation instructions. If you would like to download or view product literature for your appliance, please visit our Manuals and Literature page. That sentence is KitchenAid’s own, read off its published support page for this condition on a over-the-range microwave rather than worked out from the outside. Everything under it is ours, written from what this equipment does in Miami kitchens.

### Worth knowing before you call

KitchenAid publishes no owner step against LOC on a over-the-range microwave, and neither do we. It is a condition for a technician rather than for the person standing in front of it, which is the honest reading of a code with nothing an owner can act on. Have the model number and the serial number off the plate ready and it becomes a short conversation rather than a long one.

### Then what

One more thing worth saying plainly: **this code is not this badge’s alone.** KitchenAid shares its control platform with the other names in the same group, and the same page for LOC sits at the same address under more than one of them. That is useful rather than awkward — it means the code names the subsystem and the model number names the machine, so the plate on the door frame is half of every answer here.

The [full KitchenAid code archive](https://kitchenaidmiami.support/error-codes/) holds the rest, searchable. Tell us the model number and exactly what the display is showing and we will tell you what it points at before anybody is booked. We repair this equipment across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.
