What Loc
actually means.
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 coolerKind of codeMode, 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 toNo repair
On the PWS06D, press and hold Lock for 3 seconds to unlock the panel.
Shows up asWine 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.

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.
On the PWS06D, press and hold Lock for 3 seconds to unlock the panel.
On an older single-zone GE Profile wine chiller, hold RED WINE and INTERIOR LIGHT together for 3 seconds.
Change the setting you wanted, then lock the panel again if children can reach it.
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.

Still showing Loc?
When you book, copy the code or the blink pattern as the display shows it, add the whole model number, and say whether the bottles still feel cool — a code gives the technician a head start.
