Dryer says LOCK - Frigidaire Affinity 5.8 Cu. Ft. Electric Dryer

try unplugging for a couple of minutes and it should reset to factory settings.

This information is from the manual:
Child Lock can be used to prevent your children from changing options on control panel while the dryer is running. When child lock is enabled, all the buttons will be locked and Child Lock glows. To enable Child Lock, Press and Hold OPTION for 3 seconds, A single beep tone is heard and Child Lock is displayed on the status window. To disable child Lock, press and hold OPTION for 3 seconds again.

im not sure if your model of dryer but here is some instructions
Child lock
When activated, the child lock prevents the dryer from being operated by locking the control panel functions.
The dryer can be turned on but not started. The "Child lock" indicator will flash.
The door can be opened.

the door is closed.

3. Turn on the dryer with the "On/Off" button.
4. Press the "OPTIONS" button 3 times. 5. Release the "Anti-crease" and
"DRYNESS" buttons.

The "Child lock" indicator will go out. The control panel is now unlocked.

It should lock on all functions. It may be a bad lock or the connection to the lock. I would call the support for that unit, Westland Sales 503-655-2563.

Hi,

If you want to enable the Controls Lock/Unlock Feature:-
To enable the Controls Lock feature when dryer is running: Press and hold the CONTROLS LOCK/UNLOCK button for 3 seconds. The control is locked when a single beep is heard and the Controls Lock status light is on. This feature allows you to lock your settings to avoid unintended use of the dryer. You can also use the Controls Lock feature to avoid unintended cycle or option changes during dryer operation.

■When the dryer is off, it is not necessary to press the Control On button before activating the Controls Lock feature.

For unlocking: Press and hold the CONTROLS LOCK/UNLOCK button for 3 seconds to turn this feature off.

NOTE:- When the dryer is running and Controls Lock is on, the dryer can be stopped by pressing the Pause/Cancel button, but cannot be restarted until the control is unlocked.

Good Luck and have a nice day
Rating the solution is highly appreciated.

The control lock light will not go off and the dryer will not work at all, I tried holding the end of cycle button for three seconds, but the light remains on. i have tried unplugging the dryer, but when I plug it back in the control lock light come back on. Whirlpool Duet gew9250plg
