What Lock
actually means.
Control Lock on a Maytag glass-top range keeps the cooking areas from being turned on by accident. Set with the power off, it locks the surface out completely; set with the power on, only Power and Off still respond.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Maytag's own guidance for Lock on its ranges. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Touch and hold LOCK for three seconds to unlock.
If it will not unlock, reset the breaker for one minute and try again.
Cleared?
The range was set right without a new part. If the same message comes back while a burner or the oven is in use, or the range cuts out again, treat it as a new problem and book it.
What not to do
Lock is not a sign of a broken element or control; it is a setting.

In Maytag's own words
If Control Lock is activated when power to the cooktop is off, the cooktop is locked out, and the surface cooking areas cannot be turned on by the cooktop touch controls.
