Maytag Dryer Loc Error Code
What it means
Maytag indicates Loc means Control Lock is enabled, which prevents the dryer from starting or operating.
Try this first
- Press and hold the Control Lock key for 3 seconds.
- The dryer will count down from 3-2-1 while unlocking.
- The Control Lock control may be a stand-alone key or a dual-function key paired with another button.
- For a dual-function key, press and hold the actual button rather than the text printed below it.
- See the Owner's Manual for the Control Lock procedure specific to your model.
Can I keep using it?✅ Loc indicates Control Lock rather than a dryer hardware fault
Repair usually required?✅ Disable Control Lock using the manufacturer procedure
