How do I unlock child lock on a Samsung electric dryer?

I can't change any of the settings on it, and the little child lock light is on! Does it think a child has crawled in there and it doesn't want to kill it?

In the owners manual there is directions on how to unlock it, sometimes as simple as just holding down the child lock button for a period of time

If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jason_4570d45317834dd3

My dryer had this same problem. I cleared it by unplugging the dryer from the wall for 20 seconds and then plugging it back in. After this "reset" of the electronics, it has functioned for 2 days without a problem.

Testimonial: "Thanks - that fixed it!!"

Hi.

There is need to test parts. Testing is done with power not connected and using a multimeter. Part of testing requires disassembling.

The problem is usually the door switch. Motor and heating do not start like if the door was open.

Check the door switch. The door switch is tested using a multimeter on switch contacts. The switch must close the circuit showing zero Ohms or little impedance when door is closed. The switch must show Ohms infinity only with door open. Another way to test the switch is by jumping its contacts.

If door switch is OK check belt and motor and thermal fuse.

The thermal fuse is located in the heating group, on top of the cover. The part is indicated with nr.39 in diagram below

ginko_132.jpg

The fuse is good if it shows low impedance at the multimeter. If the fuse is gone the multimeter will read infinity.

The belt and motor are reached removing the front panel. Details on disassembly procedure depend on the model number of the appliance.

You can find all diagrams and parts for the dryer entering the complete model number here.

Regards.

Ginko.

SOURCE: can not unlock the child saftey locks on my beko tumble dryer

First of all, thank you very much for choosing FIXYA today for your online technical support needs.


Here is a direct link to the ONLINE USER'S MANUAL for one model of Beko Tumble Dryer (DRVT 71):


http://fiftyeggs.blob.core.windows.net/bekoupload/manuals/DRVT71.pdf


To view the Owner's Manual with Operating Instructions just use your mouse to click on the link, which is the underlined and blue highlighted section of text just above.


This will open a new web browser page automatically for you and allow you to view the information at the website indicated and the contents of the Owner's Manual.


You may need ADOBE READER installed on your computer to read PDF documents, although many computers already have this type of utility pre-installed.


You can download this free at WWW.ADOBE.COM if necessary. Click on the DOWNLOAD ADOBE READER button on right side of the ADOBE home page when you get there, then follow the onscreen instructions to install the software on your computer.


See page 16 of that manual for detailed instructions and illustrations on how to operate the CHILD LOCK feature on that particular model of dryer. Hopefully the procedure will be similar enough to help you out with yours.


Basically it says to deactivate the CHILD LOCK feature, just press both the START/PAUSE/CANCEL button and the LOW TEMPERATURE button simultaneously, and then hold them both down for about 3 seconds.


Otherwise just comment back here and let us know the exact model number of your machine so we can track down the appropriate information for you.


I truly hope that was helpful to you.


Good luck and take care.


Joe.

Samsung Steam Dryer has power but only displays a flashing smiling person. The dial will not turn and will not start cycle??

Maybe you press lock button, simply unlock it again try this one
? What is the "Child Lock" function?
• If you press the "Child Lock" button (Spin+Option button) longer than 2 sec during operation, this
function is selected.
• If once this function is selected, no change can be done until the end of laundry.

Un lock child lock 10d52 seimins washer dryer

to deactivate the child lock, set program to Easy-Care and hold option down arrow for 5 seconds. If still it does not get unlocked then Try pressing "dry" & "spin" together for 10 seconds or until the CL disappears. Also try pressing "end of cycle" for over 5 seconds. If this doesn't work then try pressing "options & select" till the light goes off. Also try and press ECO and rapid buttons together for more than 10 seconds.
IF IT IS LIKE MY 5202 YOU HAVE TO PRESS AND HOLD THE UNLOCK BUTTON FOR LIKE 3 SECONDS. THIS PREVENTS SOMEONE FROM JUST PRESSING THE BUTTON AND ACTIVATING THE LOCK . TRY THE PRESS AND HOLD METHOD

The operation manual is available for free download from Samsung at this site: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/200305/20030529145700437_MW5592.pdf

2. Press the "2" button, the display will show: "PRESS START"
3. Press the start button and the display will show "LOCK" then returns to the time of day.
At this point the microwave can't be used. To unlock, just repeat steps 1-3.

Upright Driver is on the lock control

TRY UNPLUGGING THE DRYER OR DISCONNECT POWER BY TURNING OFF THE BREAKER. LET IT SET FOR 5 MINUTES OR MORE. THEN, REAPPLY POWER AND SEE IF THE MICROCOMPUTER RESETS. IF NOT, LOOK AT THE CONTROL FOR A LITTLE LOCK SIGN. SOME CONTROLS HAVE A CHILD LOCK FEATURE THAT LOCKS THE CONTROL AND HOLDING THAT BUTTON FOR 5 SECONDS WILL LOCK/UNLOCK THE CONTROL. IF YOU CAN'T FIND IT, TRY STARTING AT THE LEFT SIDE AND PRESS EACH BUTTON, ONE AT A TIME, FOR 5 SECONDS TO SEE IF ONE WILL UNLOCK THE CONTROL. IF YOU FIND IT, WRITE IT DOWN FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
