What Does Monogram Microwave LOC Mean?

LOC displayed on a Monogram microwave indicates the control lock (child safety lock) is active. All keypad buttons are disabled to prevent accidental operation. This is not an error — it is a safety feature that has been turned on.

How to Unlock the Microwave

  1. Press and hold the Lock or Stop/Cancel button – On most Monogram microwaves, press and hold the designated lock key for 3 seconds. The LOC indicator will extinguish when unlocked.
  2. Check your model’s procedure – Some models require holding the “3” key or a specific button combination. Refer to the use and care guide for your exact model.
  3. Power cycle – If the keypad is completely unresponsive, unplug for 60 seconds and restore. The control lock state does not persist through power cycles on most models.

When to Call a Professional

If the microwave remains locked after trying all methods or the keypad is otherwise unresponsive, the control board may have developed a fault. Call 844-752-7887 for Monogram microwave diagnosis.
