What Locked, Lock or Loc on a Wall Oven means

Locked, Lock or Loc on a Maytag built-in wall oven means the lock feature is on, so it is not a failure. The feature shuts down the control pads and locks the oven door, to prevent unintended use. It comes preset as unlocked, but someone can turn it on. It cannot be switched on while the oven is in use. If the controls do not respond and the door will not open, this is the first thing to check. Your owner's manual explains how to unlock it.

Common causes of Locked, Lock or Loc on a Wall Oven

  • The control lock turned on by someone
  • A button held down by accident
  • A control that is not responding for another reason
✓ One safe check you can try

Locked, Lock or Loc on a Wall OvenLocked, Lock or Loc on a Wall Oven questions
Is Locked an error?

No. It is a feature that disables the pads and locks the door to prevent unintended use. It appears on purpose. Turn it off using the steps in your owner's manual for your model.

Why will my oven door not open?

With the lock on, the door is locked as well. Unlock the control first and the door follows. Do not force the door, because pulling on it can damage the latch.

The lock keeps turning on by itself. Why?

A stuck key could be pressing the lock sequence without you noticing. If the lock keeps coming back, or the buttons feel dead, we test the keypad and its wiring and tell you what we find.
