Control Lock On

Use the Lock to prevent your dishwasher from accidentally being turned on. Use the Lock, also, to prevent accidental cycle or option changes during a cycle.

LOCK ON

When LOCK ON is lit, all buttons are disabled.

NOTES:

The dishwasher door can be opened while the controls are locked.

You can turn on the Lock while the dishwasher is running.

To turn on the Lock:

Press and hold NO HEAT DRY for 4 seconds. LOCK ON glows.

If you press any pad while your dishwasher is locked, the light flashes 3 times.

To turn off the Lock

Press and hold NO HEAT DRY for 4 seconds. The light turns off.

If the lock light flashes constantly this indicates that a key (or keys) is most likely shorted or stuck. If this is the case the console or touch pad must be replaced. The console is only available in black (part number 3384340).

Child Lock Controls
To prevent children from accidently changing the
dishwasher cycle or starting the dishwasher, lock the
dishwasher controls by pressing and releasing the RINSE
ONLY pad (some models) or the NO HEAT DRY pad (some
models) for 3 seconds while the door is latched. An
indicator light on the lock graphic pad will illuminate when
the controls are locked and no new selections can be made
until the lock is released. To unlock the controls, press the
same pad, RINSE ONLY or NO HEAT DRY, again for 2
seoncds until the indicator light goes out.


Hope this helps?

Hi Gayle, thank you for allowing me to assist you!

When the Child Lock light is on, the control is locked and no cycles can be selected or started. To de-select the Control Lock, press and hold the heat dry key or press down on the lock icon for approximately twenty seconds. If issue persists, try resetting the dishwasher by either unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. It is important to wait approximately ten minutes and then turn the unit on. Select a cycle and your dishwasher should resume normal operations. I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if the unit's status has changed successfully. Thank you.

one of the buttons may be a "lock" pad. there should be a picture of a lock next to pad. press and hold for 3 or 4 seconds and see if panel unlocks. otherwise disconnect power to D/W and reconnect after 2 minutes.
