Control is locked , unable to start the dryer, the light of the control is on, and it says control locked

1. Press and hold for 3 seconds the "Control Lock/Unlock" button on the control panel to lock the control panel.
2. Listen for a double beep and observe the "Control Lock" status light is lit when the control lock is in effect.
3. Press and hold for 3 seconds the "Control Lock/Unlock" button on the control panel to unlock the control panel. The "Control Lock" status light is goes out when the control panel is unlocked.

Have you tried turning the control lock off by holding down the designated button or buttons to do so? If that does not work try disconnecting power from the machine for a short period of a time and then reconnecting to see if a reset resolves the problem.

Here is the link to the owner's manuals etc. if you need it; http://shared.whirlpoolcorp.com/product_literature/search_results.jsp?searchTerm=GGW9250PL&siteCode=WHRCOM Check the first owner's manual, page 14. It says; " Control Lock. 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.
