<!-- from fixya rte -->What does "control locked" mean? - Kenmore Elite 45986 Front Load Washer

The Frigidaire Affinity Washer Error E41 is a door lock error. It means the primary control thinks the door is open. If the door is closed and this error persists, then in most cases, you will need to replace the door lock assembly on the washer. Sometimes this error can be caused by the control board, but it's more common for the door lock assembly to have failed than the control board.

push the lock/unlock button for several seconds to unlock the control panel. on some it says lock on some it shows a key

To unlock the controls: Press and hold the End Of Cycle Signal button until the Control Lock light goes Off.

To lock the controls: Press and hold the End Of Cycle Signal button until the Control Lock light comes On.

Hello, F DL means
A Door Lock Error occurs if the door cannot be locked. It will try to lock it six times before displaying the error code.

Potential Causes
• Door Lock Mechanism broken or removed from the Door
• Check Door Lock/Switch Assembly
• Check the wire harness connections to the Door Lock/Switch Assembly and
Central Control Unit (CCU)
• Door Lock/Switch Assembly Failure

Ohm out the door lock solenoid and the door lock switches. This is most conveniently done at the central control board--use the wiring diagram/tech sheet to locate the proper pins to test from. Unplug the washer before starting work.

Thanks

Here is what the manual for your oven says about control lock.

Let me know if you have questions.

Control Lock
The Control Lock shuts down the control panel pads to prevent
unintended use of the oven(s). The Control Lock will remain set
after a power failure, if set before the power failure. The only time
it is not available is during the Sabbath Mode or Self-Clean cycle.
When the control is locked, only the TIMER SET · START, TIMER
CANCEL, OVEN LIGHT and CANCEL OFF, UPPER OVEN
CANCEL / OFF or LOWER OVEN CANCEL / OFF pads will
function. On double oven models, CLOCK SET · START will also
function.
The Control Lock is preset unlocked, but can be locked.
To Lock/Unlock Control: Press and hold CONTROL LOCK for
about 3 seconds, until “CONTROL LOCK” and a picture of a lock
appear on the display. Repeat to unlock and remove “CONTROL
LOCK” from the display.

The Control Lock is a safety feature that allows the consumer to lock the control panel to prevent small children from manipulating the controls. It can inadvertently be set following a power outage, or by leaning against the control panel. The following link explains how to turn the feature on/off:

If this does not correct your problem, then you may have a more serious problem than a simple operator control issue. If you need further assistance, please let me know. I hope this corrects the problem for you.

This means that the machine will not respond to any controls and will have to finish its current programme completely before it will respond to any operator controls again. It is very useful to stop anyone changing the programme mid cycle. It also means that if the power is cut or you have a brown out that the machine will just carryon where it left off and finish the programme.

To unlock the Control Locked feature:

Press and hold the End Of Cycle Signal button for 3 seconds to turn this feature off.

When the machine is running and Control Locked light is on, the machine can be stopped by pressing the Pause/Cancel button, but cannot be restarted until the control is unlocked.

Control Lock is a designed safety feature that allows you to lock/unlock the control panel to prevent small children from manipulating the controls. To lock or unlock the control panel, click on the following link:

If this does not fix your problem, please let me know. I hope this helps you.

L means "Lid or Door Lock" problem
r probably means 'release' I couldn't find it anywhere... so I'd guess that Lr means the machine did not detect that the Lid Lock released and cycle end (which means either the sensor is bad or the Lid Lock dosen't lock the Lid).

Either way, something with the Lid Lock system ais not right. Be glad it releases ;-)

The problem is with th door lock assembly or the control board. You can meter the PTC on the door lock assembly to determine if the problem is in the lock or control board. If PTC meters open or closed = bad door lock assembly. 1200 to1500 ohms = bad control board.
