Press & hold 'lock' for 5 seconds or more. The lock light should go off. Of course the machine shd be 'on'.

    It means the machine shd not be tampered with by kids - while the machine is working. You operate the loc to unlock and lock the same way by depressing the loc button.

SOURCE: Front Loading washer Kenmore Ht3

Here are the steps to unlocking the door manually if clothes are still in the machine.
1.Unplug machine
2.remove bottom panel
3.Reach up along the inside of the front panel and locate the botttom of the door latch assembly
4.Located on the bottom of the door latch assembly is a tear dropped shaped tab
5. Gently pull down on the tab about a 1/4 inch or until a click is heard.
6. You may now open the door.

This code means the door lock mechanism has failed or the central control unit has failed. Replace the door lock mech. first. This should fix the problem. (before replacing anything make sure there is no obstruction around the switch or in the switch.) After the machine has been unplugged it may fix itself. if not replace door lock mech.

Hello

LOC error code is displayed when the control panel is locked, to unlock it press the OPTION & SELECT button and hold them for 20 seconds. This should reset the control, if it does not then replacing the control is recommended repair. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

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.
