How to unlock the child lock on my whirlpool microwave model no MW 20GW...

You would need to post make and model of unit, sounds lke a child lock was activated somehow. If you have the manuel, look up child lock and see how to unlock it.

children.

3 seconds.

The display shows : CHILD LOCK ON.

hi,

if there is a key on the pad that says "child lock" press and hold that for 30 seconds or so until it unlocks, if there is no key that says "child lock" try doing that to the "end/stop" key or the "start" key
