Two things to try. Either unplug it or turn it off at the breaker.. Clean the cook top control area and allow it to dry overnight. You can turn the power back on after cleaning ideally. In the morning, with the power resumed just wipe the control area off with your bare clean hand.
I have no idea why this worked for me, but it did. Good luck.
If that fails, you can look up error codes or schedule a repair.

You will have to hold the lock button down for 3 or 5 seconds for it to unlock. If this doesn't help, it could be a stuck key pad or a problem in the circuit board.

Hi,
I'm fairly certain all you need to do is press down where the illuminated red key is for about 5 seconds. If this doesn't work, please let me know and I will check on the correct method for this exact model.
