Why Does My Whirlpool Washer Say Loc
LOC stands for “Locked Out Control.” It means that the washer has been locked out of operation due to a problem with the control board or a component in the washer. You will need to reset the control board or replace the faulty component in order to unlock the washer and get it working again.

The “LOC” error code on a Whirlpool washer indicates that the washer’s lid has been opened during a cycle. This code is designed to prevent the washer from operating if the lid is open, as this could cause the washer to malfunction or even cause injury. To reset the code, simply close the lid and press the “Start/Pause” button. If the code persists, contact a qualified technician to diagnose and repair the issue.
