# Electrolux Loc or nLc on the wine cooler display: control lock on or off

Holding the Lock keypad on an EI24WC10QS generation wine cooler shows Loc and locks the panel, leaving only Lock, the status dot and the alarm indicator active.

## What Loc / nLc actually means.

Holding the Lock keypad on an EI24WC10QS generation wine cooler shows Loc and locks the panel, leaving only Lock, the status dot and the alarm indicator active. Repeating the hold shows nLc and unlocks it.

What to do when Loc / nLc shows on the wine cooler

### Kind of code Mode, not a failure

A setting someone switched on, often by leaning on the touch panel or left over from the showroom floor, rather than a part that wore out: a demo mode that lights the display and the rack lamps while the cooling never starts, a Sabbath setting that turns off the lights and alarms, a child or control lock that ignores every key press, a reminder that the glass door stood open. The cabinet is fine, and its own keys or its manual switch the mode back off.

### Usually leads to No repair

Hold the Lock keypad until nLc appears to unlock.

### Shows up as Wine Cooler Error Code

A wine cooler error code appears as letters and digits on the display, a flashing temperature, dashes where a number should be or a blinking symbol, sometimes with an alarm tone and sometimes while the cabinet stays perfectly cool.

### Make Electrolux

Electrolux wine coolers serviced in the home, from a cabinet that will not start to one that never stops running.

### Source Electrolux use and care guide 242332800 (EI24WC10QS / EI24WL10QS, IQ-Touch)

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Electrolux's own guidance for Loc / nLc on its wine coolers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Hold the Lock keypad until nLc appears to unlock.

02

Make your change, then hold Lock again until Loc appears if you want it locked.

03

If the display runs past Loc to nSL or SLP, you have changed the sleep setting instead; see SLP.

### Cleared?

The display has gone quiet and the cabinet is back at its setting without a new part. Should the code reappear this week, or the reds start feeling warm again, book a visit and mention that it came back.

### What not to do

Loc is not a code for a failed control. The unit keeps cooling at its setting while locked.

## What you may notice with it.

The wine cooler problems Loc / nLc tends to arrive with. Answer these at the wine cooler before anyone is booked.

## Questions about Loc / nLc.

### Can I clear Loc / nLc myself?

Hold the Lock keypad until nLc appears to unlock.

### Why can't I change the temperature on my Electrolux wine cooler?

If Loc shows or the lock icon is lit, the panel is locked. Hold Lock until nLc appears.

### What does nLc mean on my Electrolux wine cooler?

No lock: the control has been unlocked and the keys work again.

### Do alarms still work when my Electrolux wine cooler shows Loc?

Yes. The alarm indicator stays active while the panel is locked.
