KitchenAid Wall Oven Message "Locked": the lock feature is on

What Locked, Lock or Loc means

On KitchenAid electric single, double and combination wall ovens such as the KOSE500ESS or KODE500ESS, Locked, Lock or Loc tells you the lock feature is switched on. With it active, the keypad stops responding and the door stays latched so nobody starts the oven by accident. The oven is preset unlocked, so someone turned the feature on. Unlock the control and the door to cook again. Once unlocked, the oven returns to normal use.

Common causes of Locked, Lock or Loc

Lock feature turned on at the control
Lock left on after unintended pad presses

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Find the lock or unlock instruction for your control. 2. Hold the pad your control uses to unlock until the display changes. 3. Wait for the door to unlock, then try the controls. 4. If the oven will not unlock, call us.

! Why to stop there

It is a feature, not a failure.
A stuck lock may need the control checked.
You see a written price first, and the repair has a 30-day warranty.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
