SOURCE: "Clean light" keeps blinking; dishwasher won't start new cycle

Check to see how it's loaded. If something is obstructing either of the spray arms it will not start. I had this same problem and checked to see if there was something impeding the arms - I found there was. Reloaded the unit and it's running like a champ now!

SOURCE: The lid lock light won't stop blinking.

LID LOCK FAULT
Fault is displayed if Lid Lock has not moved into locked position or motor cannot be powered.
Lid is not closed completely due to interference.
Check for lock interference with lock striker.
Wash media buildup (detergent, lint, etc.) is preventing the lock mechanism from sliding.
Main control detects open lid switch when attempting to lock.
Main control cannot determine if lid lock is in a locked state.

Perform the following checks if the washer does not lock (or unlock).
1. Perform the Lid Lock test under Manual Test Mode on page 9. The following steps assume that this step was unsuccessful.
2. Check lid lock mechanism for obstruction or binding. Repair as necessary.

How do you clear CL error on GE dryer

CL usually indicates that the Child Lock (control panel lock) has been enabled. This is useful when you clean the control panel. It also keeps someone from accidentally starting the dryer with a pet or another child in the dryer.

This is toggled on and off by pressing and holding two buttons. There is usually a line between the buttons with a padlock symbol in the middle or above that line. The phrase Control Lock or To Lock Control will be below the line. The symbol and text will be in a small font.

On some GE dryers, press and hold the Extended Tumble and - buttons for 3+ seconds. The CL indicator should flash while you unlock the control panel and then go off when you've held the buttons for sufficiently long. Note: if you hold the buttons for too long, you will re-enable the lock.

For the GE Profile DPGT650EHWW, press and hold Dry Level and Temp for the 3+ seconds. See page 6 of the Use and Care manual here: https://www.geappliances.com/appliance/GE-Profile-7-1-Cu-Ft-King-size-Capacity-High-Efficiency-Electric-Dryer-DPGT650EHWW .

I hope this helps. If you need help finding the control panel lock key, please add a comment with the model of your dryer.

Dryer will not start. Error code CL. Filter is clean.

CL is 'Child Lock'.

A CL code or CHILD/CONTROL LOCK reading on the dryer's display is not actually an error code, but rather an indication that the Child/Control Lock feature is active. For most models, press and hold the key labeled CHILD LOCK (secondary function) for 3 seconds to disable the Child Lock feature.

LG dryer blinking CL and dryer wont start after filter cleaned.

Try buying a long handled short bristle cheap artist's brush and gently clean inside the housing. Probably a chunk of lint thinks it's found a new home.

I have kenmore elite dryer but some reason its show CL sign how to off CL sign ?

The CL message means that the Control Lock (or Child Lock) feature is enabled. This prevents any of the buttons changing a setting or starting a cycle with a pet/sibling in the dryer. This is useful if you are cleaning the dryer control panel or have small children.

Kenmore dryers are built by several manufacturers. Without the model number, including the three digit prefix, it's impossible to determine the button or buttons that toggle the feature on or off. However, there is usually a notation in a small font on the appropriate key or in the middle of a line between two key pads. This notation could be a small padlock symbol or a child's face. Other notations could be the words "child lock" or "control lock". If it's a single key, you need to press and hold for 3-5 seconds to toggle the lock. When it's a key combination, you need to press and hold both keys.

For some Samsung manufactured dryers, you press and hold Time and Temperature. These might have a prefix of 592.

Some LG dryers use the Easy Iron button. (Look for a prefix of 796.) Some GE dryers use the Dry Level and Temp buttons.

See http://www.appliance411.com/parts/sears.shtml for a manufacturer prefix list.

Please add a comment with the model number to get the specific key or key combination needed to deactivate the CL feature. Most dryers will remember the Child Lock state even after a power outage.

I hope this helps.

The check filter light keeps blinking and it displays CL in the display area. I always clean the filter after every load and I swept any remaining lint from the vent but it won't reset.

the filter light is just a reminder. it is not connected to a sensor or anything. it is not the issue. the 'CL' code is the issue. CL means that the Child Lock is on. press and hold the child lock button for 3-5 seconds to turn off the child lock.

Won't start CL flashes

Hi catherine739,

The CL you are getting means "Child Lock".

Please do the following:
- On the Facial Panel (Where the buttons are located), look for 2 buttons marked together with a line, it should also have a face of a child somewhere on that line.
- Press both these buttons together for 3 - 5 seconds, this should reset the Child Lock.

Kind Regards :-)
