# Monogram built-in side-by-side dispenser locked

On Monogram built-in side-by-side models with glass-touch dispenser controls, touching CONTROL LOCK for 3 seconds locks the dispenser and the control pad.

## What CONTROL LOCK actually means.

On Monogram built-in side-by-side models with glass-touch dispenser controls, touching CONTROL LOCK for 3 seconds locks the dispenser and the control pad. A locked dispenser gives no ice or water until it is unlocked.

Monogram ice maker display

What to do when CONTROL LOCK shows on the ice maker

### Kind of code Mode, not a failure

Something the ice maker was switched into, often without anyone noticing, rather than something that broke: ice turned off from the panel or by the wire arm lifted while reaching into the bin, a control lock, a Sabbath setting, a cleaning cycle still running, a reminder that the water filter is due. No part has worn out, and the ice maker's own buttons or arm put it right.

### Usually leads to No repair

Touch CONTROL LOCK for 3 seconds to unlock.

### Shows up as Ice Dispenser Not Working

The ice dispenser not working means you press the paddle and nothing comes, or the motor hums without ice, or only a few chips fall while the bin behind the door is full.

### Source Monogram built-in side-by-side owner's manual 49601282

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Monogram's own guidance for CONTROL LOCK on its ice makers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Touch CONTROL LOCK for 3 seconds to unlock.

02

Try the dispenser again with a glass against the top of the cradle.

03

If it still gives no ice with the lock off, check the ice maker switch and the water supply.

04

Book a visit if the dispenser stays dead.

### Cleared?

The ice maker is filling and dropping cubes again and no part was needed. If the same code returns during the next harvest, or water shows up on the floor again, book it as a new problem.

### What not to do

A locked panel is not a dispenser motor problem. The lock only blocks the controls; the ice maker behind it keeps working.

## What you may notice with it.

The ice maker problems CONTROL LOCK tends to arrive with. Answer these at the ice maker before anyone is booked.

### Freezer ice maker

The ice maker that sits inside the freezer compartment itself, a tray that twists or a mold with a heater and an ejector, dropping cubes into a bin or drawer you open by hand, with no dispenser on the door.

### Undercounter ice maker

A built-in residential ice maker that lives under a kitchen, bar or basement counter, making clear cubes or chewable nugget ice on its own cooling system, with a water line in and a gravity drain or a small drain pump out.

## Questions about CONTROL LOCK.

### Can I clear CONTROL LOCK myself?

Touch CONTROL LOCK for 3 seconds to unlock.

### Why won't my Monogram dispenser give ice when the ice maker is full?

Check whether the control lock is on. Touching CONTROL LOCK for three seconds unlocks the dispenser and the pad.

### Does the Monogram lock turn off the ice maker?

No. It locks the dispenser and control pad; the ice maker keeps filling the bin.

### What else stops ice dispensing on a Monogram built-in?

Monogram's troubleshooting lists an ice maker or water supply that is off, cubes frozen to the feeler arm, clumps in the bin and a freezer that is too warm.
