See if you can get into the diagnostic mode. If not, you will need to replace the "user interface" on the machine. Here is a link to the part if you should need it.
ACTIVATING THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE 1. Make sure that the dryer is in the "Standby" mode (plugged in and all of the indicators are off). 2. Press the following control panel keypad sequence all within 5 seconds: More Time-Less Time-More Time- Less Time. 3. All indicators on the console should now be illuminated with "88" showing in the "Estimated Time Remaining" display, if this test mode has been entered successfully.

Our Whirlpool Duet Electric Dryer is stuck on Control lock mode. We have tried the "hold control lock button" fix-it. Is there a way to unlock it through the panel on the front on the dryer? We have...

Try the end of cycle signal volume control button should be on right side of the control panel push and hold for 3 to 4 seconds and that will unlock the control panel if indeed the panel is locked Hope this helps........
