What it looks like from the kitchen
The symptom this code usually arrives with
A code names the subsystem; the symptom is what sent you to look at the display in the first place. That page says what it usually turns out to be, cheapest cause first.
-
Lit and ignoring you A control panel has stopped responding
The panel lights up, shows what it always shows, and does nothing when pressed. Two free things account for most of this, and the third is a measurement rather than a guess.
- Buttons that do nothing when pressed
- A padlock symbol on the display
- Some pads working and others not
On the same appliance
What else belongs to the microwaves
On this make a code belongs to the appliance rather than to a product line. These are the other conditions this machine can display, and the models that can show this one — a display often has more than one thing to say, and the model number decides what any of it costs to put right.

About JennAir over-the-range microwave error code LOC
What JennAir publishes for LOC on a over-the-range microwave
LOC or "L" or Padlock Icon in display: The Control Lock feature is ENABLED Depending on model: A) Press & Hold the Cancel key for 3 seconds. B) Press & Hold Start key for 5 seconds. or: Refer to the Owner's Manual for detailed control operation instructions. If you would like to download or view product literature for your appliance, please visit our Manuals and Literature page. Those are the maker's words, taken off its own support page for this condition on a over-the-range microwave. We have not improved them and we have not paraphrased them into something that sounds more certain. Everything below this line is ours, and it is written from what this equipment does in a Miami kitchen rather than in a manual.
There is no owner step for this one
JennAir prints nothing for an owner to do about LOC on a over-the-range microwave, and we are not going to write one. A number with no action attached is a condition for somebody with a meter, and pretending otherwise wastes an afternoon. Photograph the model and serial plate before you call and this becomes a short conversation instead of a long one.
Where to go from here
And one thing this archive says on every page rather than burying: the number is not this badge's property. JennAir runs the same control platform as the other names in its corporate group, and the page for LOC sits at the same address under more than one of them. Far from awkward, that is the most useful fact here: the code names the subsystem and the model number names the machine. Which makes the plate inside your door frame half of every answer on this site.
Every other condition is in the JennAir code archive, searchable by number. Send us the model number and the display exactly as it reads and you will hear what it points at before anything is booked. We are independent and we work across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.
