On the GE Profile PWS06D dual-zone wine chiller, Loc flashes for 4 seconds whenever a key is touched while the panel is locked. Older single-zone GE Profile wine chillers show LOC the same way when a temperature pad is pressed during lockout. GE Profile wine cooler display · also shown as LOC What to do when Loc 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 On the PWS06D, press and hold Lock for 3 seconds to unlock the panel. ### 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 GE Profile GE Profile wine coolers repaired in the kitchen or bar where they stand, with the bottles protected first. ### Source GE Profile owner's manual 49-1000514, PWS06D dual-zone wine chiller GE Profile PWS06D dual-zone wine chillers (owner's manual 49-1000514) show Loc; older single-zone GE Profile wine chillers (owner's manual 49-60428) show LOC. ## Before you book, in this order. Each step comes from GE Profile's own guidance for Loc on its wine coolers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit. 01 On the PWS06D, press and hold Lock for 3 seconds to unlock the panel. 02 On an older single-zone GE Profile wine chiller, hold RED WINE and INTERIOR LIGHT together for 3 seconds. 03 Change the setting you wanted, then lock the panel again if children can reach it. 04 If Loc appears with no lock set and the keys never respond, book a visit to check the control. ### 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 does not mean the cooler has stopped working; it keeps cooling at the last settings. It is also separate from the key-ejecting door lock on older models, which is a mechanical lock and shows nothing on the display. ## What you may notice with it.

On the PWS06D, press and hold Lock for 3 seconds to unlock the panel. ### Why can't I change the temperature on my GE Profile wine cooler? If the display flashes Loc when you press a key, the panel is locked. Hold Lock for 3 seconds on the dual-zone PWS06D and try again. ### Does Loc on a GE Profile wine cooler lock both zones? Yes. The lock covers the whole panel, so neither the upper nor the lower zone setting can be changed until it is unlocked. ### Can the light still be used while my older GE Profile wine chiller shows LOC? Yes. GE says the interior light keeps working during lockout on the older single-zone model; only the temperature settings are frozen. --- **[Read on the site: GE Profile Loc on the wine cooler display: the keys are locked](https://winecoolerrepair.center/error-codes/ge-profile-loc/)** **[Book a visit with WineCoolerRepair.center](https://winecoolerrepair.center/schedule/)**
