What Does Error LOCK Mean?

The Electrolux oven LOCK error indicates that the door lock mechanism is engaged, preventing the oven from operating and keeping the door secured. This status may result from user activation of the child or control lock feature or occur during safety functions like self-cleaning.

  • Oven door remains locked and will not open while LOCK is active.
  • LOCK display may appear during or after self‑cleaning/pyrolytic cycle.
