Good Afternoon Friend, thank you for allowing me to assist you!

If you are getting an error code LOC on your Frigidaire washer, it usually means that your control panel is locked. Let's attempt pressing and holding OPTIONS and SELECT at the same time for about 10 seconds. This usually does the trick. If not, you may want to try resetting your washer by either unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker to the off position. It is good to wait roughly ten minutes and then turn on your washer. I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your washer status has changed successfully. Thank you! - Z

SOURCE: Frigidaire front load, ERR LOC, washer won't run

Just had same problem. After removing boot/rubber gasket around opening, and replacing door lock assembly it still would not work giving the same ERR LOC message! Another site directed me to press the "Options" and "Select" buttons at the same time. BINGO! My husband was quite proud of me!

SOURCE: i have error code loc the machine won't

The LOC code merely means the control responded and locked the door. You'll find a tech sheet under the top panel of the machine to help guide you thru the diagnostic process, which is fairly involved.

LOC means it thinks the control panel is locked. This gives the ERR indication when you push the buttons. To unlock it you need to hold down the Options and Select buttons together until it reacts.

I know this may seem silly but - On the top right back corner of your washer hit it with medium force with your fist, this helps.

Error message LOC

Do the following:
The Control Lock (child lock) is on: To prevent accidental operation of the washer or alteration of the cycle settings, press and hold the lock symbol until you hear 3 beeps and LOC is displayed. To cancel, press and hold the lock symbol until LOC is no longer displayed. To put the control into control lock you do the same thing.
God bless you

My frigidaire front load washer will not start. anytime I push a button on the front panel the "LOL" sign flashes. on the front of the washer panel d wash rinse final spin control lights are...

Is the message "LOL" or "LOC"? I suspect the child lock "LOC" has been activated. To toggle this off, press and hold Options and Select for 10+ seconds. This feature prevents someone from accidently starting or changing a cycle selection.

There is a small padlock icon in the middle of lines linking the two buttons that let you toggle the child lock on and off.

There are two Frigidaire washers with the model ATF6000ES (the S is followed by a 0 or a 1). The manuals for both are available here: http://www.frigidaire.com/manuals?model=ATF6000ES . The child lock feature is described in the Operating Instructions. For the ATF6000ES0, the direct link to the appropriate manual is http://manuals.frigidaire.com/prodinfo_pdf/Webster/134604400.pdf . See page 2 under Washer Features.

I hope this helps.

Error Message "LOC" Three beeps, won't door lock or start

You may have to remove the lower front panel to get to the tech manual. If the door latch isn't latching though nothing is going to happen.

Frigidaire - GLTF2940FS0 -LOC message on display

Peace,
ngafm at your service,

With an error code or loc message the only way to find and to repair this is,

First unplug the washer and wait a ten minutes then restart it like rebooting your computer when its acting strange!
If it corrects the problem GREAT!!! WE WIN!


If not only a trained laundry tech can make the electronic diagnoses.
Like we used to be able to fix my own cars, but not today they need diagnostic equipment!


How old is the appliance?

If the appliance is 10 years old or more you it may not be advisable to put good money into bad!
New appliances are so much more efficient today that they can save you a lot of money in energy!!!!
Water,Electric and detergent! And put money back in your pocket!
The new appliance will pay for itself in only a few years!


You will be fine
Bless You ngafm
