Control lock will not turn off

Having the same problem with my LG WaveForce top loader. Power went off and now lid is stuck shut and machine will not turn on. Power outlet is fine.

I am wondering if your error code is DS and not D5, which would indicate problems with the door lock assembly communicating with the control board. Essentially, the control board does not believe the door is closed and/or locked, so it shuts down the machine.

Hello & Welcome to FixYa

This is a common issue with washer however; your whirlpool duet washer needs a reset to resolve the control lock problem. Press and hold the DRAIN/SPIN button for 15 seconds to reset the control. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

do you hear the door lock assymbley locking if not then either you have a bad control upper board central control unit uper grey board located top back of washer ........or bad door lock assy

Press and hold the end of cycle button for 15 seconds this should clear it.
Control locked

The service manual says do this:

Runs For Five Seconds Then Shuts OFF:

Suspect a communication problem between
motor, the motor control board and the machine control board. Check the motor and
motor control system by removing the JP4
connector on the motor control board. Set
the timer dial into the delay cycle and then
press the push to start switch. If the motor
operates and the washer goes into a 50 rpm
tumble, then the source of the problem is the
RD 30 wire leading from the motor control to
the P4(2)/RD30 connector on the machine
control board. When the machine control
tells the motor control to run the motor, it
monitors the red wire to determine if the motor is actually running. If the board does not see a return signal, the washer will shut down.
If RD30 wire is making contact, then suspect
possible problems with timer input circuits



Tumbles Only:
When the door lock mechanism is in the
"locked" mode, the wax motor has extended,
forcing the latch axle to engage the door lock
enable switch. This ensures the door is fully
locked and the switch can then complete the
signal back to the machine control board indicating
the door is locked. Check connector
P3(7)/YL 36 wire to verify if the terminal is
making good contact to the board terminal.
Check the door lock enable switch for continuity
when the button is depressed. Replace
door lock mechanism if necessary.

IT appears to be inputs and not the control board.

If you need more assistance just repsond here and I will reapond accordingly.

Thanks for using FixYa.

Press and Hold down the END CYCLE button for 3-5 seconds. Code will turn off and you can start your washing machine.

This feature allows you to lock your settings to prevent unintended use of the dryer.You can also use the Control Locked feature to prevent unintended cycle or option changes during dryer operation.

To enable the Control Locked feature when dryer is running:

Press and hold the END OF CYCLE SIGNAL button for 3 seconds.
The control is locked when a single beep is heard and the Control
Locked status light is on.When the dryer is off,it is not necessary
to press the Control On button before activating the Control Locked
feature.

To unlock:

Press and hold the END OF CYCLE SIGNAL button for 3 seconds to turn this feature off.

NOTE:

When the dryer is running and Control Locked is on, the dryer can be
stopped by pressing the Pause/Cancel button,but can't be restarted
until the control is unlocked.

Problem with water level switch or the clear tubing running from the bottom of the outer tub into the control panel.
Also if the water won't shut off even when you turn the washer off - problem is in the water valve stuck open.

Try some WD40 spray on the door
lock; on machine, not on door. And open & close for a few times with the power off.
