The control lock light on. Control panel not working. How do I get the contol lock suspended?

Hello & Welcome to FixYa

To unlock the controls press and hold the END OF CYCLE button for 15 seconds, the problem should be resolved after doing this. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

My dear friend this is an very common problem people do face with. Press and hold the "End of Cycle Signal" button for approximately three seconds until the "Control Locked" indicator light shuts off.

Press any of the buttons on the control panel to see if the buttons are operational or check to see if the "Control Locked" indicator light is lit. If the control panel is operational, you may mistakenly lock the door.

Press and hold the "End of Cycle Signal" button for approximately three seconds until the "Control Locked" indicator light shuts off.

The Control Lock is actually a safety feature that enables the consumer to lock the control panel to prevent small children from manipulating the controls and accidentally starting the appliance.

With the lock on, the control panel is disabled and you cannot use any of the controls, except the button to unlock it. It can inadvertently be set following a power outage, or by leaning against the control panel and is usually not an indication of a washer malfunction.

If this is a Whirlpool Duet series, the following link explains how to lock/unlock this feature:

These instructions are printed on the front panel of the appliance and in the owner's manual.

If this does not correct your problem, then you may have a more serious problem than a simple operator control issue (such as an operator console problem or main control board issue). If you need further assistance, please post back and let me know. I hope this corrects the problem for you.

This is a designed safety feature of the washer that allows the consumer to lock the control panel to prevent small children from manipulating the controls. It can be inadvertently locked by leaning on the control panel, or during power outages. The instructions are printed on the front panel of the washer and are also included in the owner's manual.

If these steps do not provide you with a solution, you may have a more serious problem than a simple operator intervention. Please let me know if you require additional assistance. I hope this helps you.

do all your buttons work on the panel? if not, replace the user interface, if they do, replace the main control.

Press & hold the 'end of cycle' button on the right side of panel for 3 seconds. Child lock button, you do the same thing again & it locks. You dont want kids bathing in the machine, no. Pl rate me nice.

look forthe button marked "control lock" and hold it for 3 secs to unlock it

book said to hold the end of cycle signal button for three seconds or when the control locked light goes out, good luck
