Why wont my washer start?

Good Afternoon James,

I see that you are still having trouble with your Frigidaire Affinity washer, model# ATF7000E, finishing and now starting a load, even after replacing the door lock.

I would start by making sure that your washer door is completely closed.

Next I would check to make sure that your washer controls are not locked. You will see a "LOC" code if the controls are locked. To get them out of the lock mode, press and hold the "Options" and "Select" buttons at the same time for 10 seconds.

If you are still having trouble you will want to give your washer a hard reset. You can do this by either unplugging it or cutting the power at the circuit breaker for 2-3 minutes.

Once power is restored, if you are still having trouble with your appliance either not starting or not completing the cycle, I would recommend contacting either the manufacturer or your local authorized technician. Hope this helps.

-Best Regards-

Hello pamhughes - Generally, error code LOC means that the control is locked. Press and hold the control lock key to unlock or once again reset the unit by either unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off again. It is important to wait approximately ten minutes before turning on the unit. Start the washer and select a normal cycle. If these troubleshooting steps prove ineffective, you may way to contact a professional as the unit may possibly have restrictions in the water live, water valve or a communication problem with the control board.

LOC is a generic lock code meaning the door was either locked manually or accidentally. Also LOC will lock the control panel and can be manually locked as well. Try to reset the unit for about 10-15 minutes and retry.

Your door lock switch needs replacing.

It is the Lid lock, that is what loc means. It is integrated with the lid switch. Part needs to be replaced. Look up model number and go to appliance parts store or website. If at website print blow up of unit to see where switch is located. UNPLUG unit first.

you must replace the door lock assembly

LOC stands for lock....door lock failure....check the door strike and make sure door is closed....if closed wil need to replace lock mechanism

Hold "Options and Select" simultaneously for 10 seconds.

That is a door lock malfunction, check the lock and wire harness connections.

Control Lock
To avoid having someone accidentally start or stop the
washer, press Options and Select at the same time and
hold for 10 seconds until “LOC” is displayed alternately
with the estimated cycle time. To unlock the controls,
press Options and Select at the same time and hold 10
seconds until ”LOC” is no longer displayed.
