CONTROL LOCK GE GAS DRYER

This issue could be caused by a problem with the start switch or the control lock switch. I recommend checking to see if the start switch is stuck or if there is any debris blocking the control lock switch.
You can also try to reset the dryer by unplugging it from the wall outlet for a few minutes, and then plugging it back in.
If the problem persists, it would be best to contact GE or a professional for further assistance or repair.

CL usually indicates that the Child Lock (control panel lock) has been enabled. This is useful when you clean the control panel. It also keeps someone from accidentally starting the dryer with a pet or another child in the dryer.

This is toggled on and off by pressing and holding two buttons. There is usually a line between the buttons with a padlock symbol in the middle or above that line. The phrase Control Lock or To Lock Control will be below the line. The symbol and text will be in a small font.

On some GE dryers, press and hold the Extended Tumble and - buttons for 3+ seconds. The CL indicator should flash while you unlock the control panel and then go off when you've held the buttons for sufficiently long. Note: if you hold the buttons for too long, you will re-enable the lock.

For the GE Profile DPGT650EHWW, press and hold Dry Level and Temp for the 3+ seconds. See page 6 of the Use and Care manual here: https://www.geappliances.com/appliance/GE-Profile-7-1-Cu-Ft-King-size-Capacity-High-Efficiency-Electric-Dryer-DPGT650EHWW .

I hope this helps. If you need help finding the control panel lock key, please add a comment with the model of your dryer.

Did you take the shipping blocks out? They are inside the machine. You will need to remove the access cover on the back and look in, you cant miss them. Good luck

he is pushing the button a second time which is unnecessary.
it will cause damage to the lock actuators. yours will do it if you push the lock button a second time, but i do not recommend as stated above.

most of the time when the syary button just busses it means the motor is gone,you can take it apart and clean and lube itmake sure nothing stuck in it,let me know if you need more help-mike
