Turn lockout off using the steps in your owner's manual. ### My Café keypad does nothing and shows LOC. Is it broken? No. Control Lockout is on and the keypad is ignoring presses on purpose. Turning it off restores the controls. ### Can a power cut clear LOC on my Café? Lockout is a setting, so it is turned off from the controls rather than by cutting power. --- **[Read on the site: Café wall oven showing LOC | OvenRepair.center](https://ovenrepair.center/error-codes/cafe-loc/)** **[Book a visit with OvenRepair.center](https://ovenrepair.center/schedule/)**
