What LOC shows
It tells you: the door is locked
Where: Electrolux dishwashers described in the US owner guide
Generation: current
How the guide treats it
LOC appears in the guide purely as a notice that the door is locked, and the owner is given nothing to do. The notice shares a table of display messages with cycle times, numbers for delayed starts, the minutes left in a run and a handful of short codes. Should the display show a different message, find that entry instead.
If your Electrolux dishwasher in San Francisco or the Bay Area shows a message you cannot explain, call (415) 449-0036 or read up on Electrolux dishwasher repair. Read out the exact display message and your model number.
Model compatibility: Electrolux reuses codes across series and model years, so LOC may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
