On the drawer, touch and hold CONTROL LOCK for three seconds until the display reads LOCK OFF. ### Why will my Fulgor Milano microwave drawer not open after cleaning? Fulgor tells owners to lock the drawer before cleaning, and it stays locked until you undo it. Hold CONTROL LOCK for three seconds and watch for LOCK OFF. ### Can the drawer be locked while it is open? Yes. The lock holds the drawer in whichever position it is in, so an open drawer that will not close may simply be locked open. ### What if LOCK OFF shows but the drawer still does not move? Then the setting is not the cause. The drawer motor, its gears or its position switches need testing, so book a visit. --- **[Read on the site: Fulgor Milano LOCK ON: the drawer and its controls are locked](https://microwaverepair.center/error-codes/fulgor-milano-lock-on/)** **[Book a visit with MicrowaveRepair.center](https://microwaverepair.center/schedule/)**
