Padlock sybol when try to turn on hob

l means locked hold two left buttons at same time or the two right buttons or the bottom two buttons or top two buttons should solve your problem you have to do it prety quick or the computer thinks a child is trying to turn on the appliance

An SE error message on the display of a Samsung ceramic hob means the control panel sensor has been on for too long.
There are a few reasons why the sensor could be saying it's been on for too long:

• Touching the key area for more than 10 seconds.
• Leaving a wet cloth on the touch key area.
• Spilling a liquid on the key area.
• By touching 2 or more keys together. All of these can be fixed by turning the hob power off at the wall, then back on again.

Thank you for using FixYa. The pad lock symbol is a child safety device to prevent accidental operation. Press or touch the area on or around the padlock symbol and the indicator will go out and thus allow you to use the hob

It is a saftey lock. Hold down the power button until it goes off (about 5 seconds)

Red light on and range is locked, press but will not unlock.

find the button that has a lock on it or beside it, push it in and hold it until it unlocks

Press the 'Oven light' for about seven seconds...

If the KEY lock is on (key botton flashes when switched on) ... touch AND HOLD the lock symbol for AT LEAST TWO seconds until it beeps, then hold the on/off button for AT LEAST 2 SECS.

If the CHILD lock is on ([L] on all displays when switched on), then:
1)Hold the on switch for TWO secs min (unit swtiches on) ...then
2) touch AND HOLD the + AND - for AT LEAST 2 secs
3) touch the - button once again.

hold down powerboot for 4 seconds to switch off child lock

Got the same problem, and remembered I've kept the manual book
L means locked. I dont know how Ive managed to do this as well

Anyway it says:

Cancelling the key lock
After switching ON the control the child safety feature can be deactivated. Here it is necessary to simultaneously operate the front right cooking-zone-select-key and the MINUS-key and then operate the MINUS-key alone. If all steps hae been carried out in the right order within 10seconds the key lock gets cancelled and the control is OFF. Otherwise the input will be considered incomplete, the control remains locked and switches-OFF after 20 seconds.

After a renewed switching-ON/OFF key all displays show 0", the display dots are blinking and the control is ready for ooking. If a cooking zone is "hot", "H" will be displayed instead of the static 0".


Followed their instructions & still not worked. ,I am still confused and baffled after these instructions........................
