What Lock
actually means.
Lock Mode stops accidental changes and makes the panel easy to wipe. After a short countdown every other display turns off and becomes unavailable, which can look like a failed control.

What to do when Lock 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
Press and hold LOCK for 3 seconds to turn Lock Mode off.
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 JennAir's own guidance for Lock on its wine coolers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Press and hold LOCK for 3 seconds to turn Lock Mode off.
Check that the zone temperatures and presets return.
If the panel stays blank with the lock off, book a visit.
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
A panel reduced to three options is not a dead display. It is also not Sabbath Mode, where the lights and sounds go off as well.
