Child lock is stuck on and athe dryer will not turn on. How do yoiu turn off the child lock?

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.

Please always include FULL 'make model (what is is)' as the first three words. It helps us to help you and is good for search and housekeeping.

I can't find anything online about error code CL9. Even the owner's manual does not list that error code.

I realize this is 2 years old, but all you do is hold down stop/cancel for 3 seconds. That also turns on child lock.

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.

child lock only works when not in use

Setting child lock
The child lock can be set to prevent a programme being accidentally started or a programme in operation being accidentally changed. The child lock function locks all buttons and the programme knob. The child lock can be activated or deactivated by holding down the OPTION and OK buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds.

• Before programme is started: Appliance cannot be used
• After programme is started: Programme in operation cannot be changed

The icon appears in the display to indicate that the child safety device is activated. The child safety device is not deactivated once the programme comes to an end. If you want to set a new programme, you must first deactivate the child safety device.

Below is Child Lock Icon

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.
To activate the child lock
1. Make sure the dryer is turned off and
the door is closed.
2. Press and hold the "Anti-crease" and "DRYNESS" buttons at the same time, hold until step 5.
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 flash and the dryer is now locked.
6. Turn off the dryer using the "On/Off" button.
To deactivate the child lock Repeat steps 1. to 5.
The "Child lock" indicator will go out. The control panel is now unlocked.
6. Turn off the dryer using the "On/Off" button.

Follow this instruction............. ACTIVATING/DEACTIVATING
If you want to activate/deactivate the Child Lock function, press the Soil Level and Signal buttons at the same time for 3 seconds.

How It Works: 1. "Child Lock" can be activated while your Washer is running. 2. Once you activate "Child Lock", all controls (except for the Power button) will be locked until you deactivate "Child Lock". 3. The Child Lock button will be lit while it is in effect. When buttons, other than the Power button, do not respond, please check if the "Child Lock" function is on.
Hope this helps u out!

Hello,

Welcome to FixYa.

By stating "the dryer does work" indicates it is likely an issue with programming.

What are the chances you have the menu lock-out option turned "on"...also referred to as "child lock".

You may quickly rule this out or confirm it is the problem indeed, by trying this.

CHILD-SAFE START

1. Turn the machine off then on.
2. Press ENTER five times, then press P3 five
times. (This must be done within 15 seconds.)
3. “Delayed start” displays with “0” flashing in the
lower right corner. Press the Right Arrow button
to toggle the display to “3.”


**NOTE: Child-Safe Menu Button**
Please note that when you set the child-safe Start
button, the Menu button is automatically
programmed to delay for three seconds before it
becomes active. This prevents a child from
accidentally changing the program settings.
When you want to change a program, press the Menu
button for three seconds to activate the menus. The
Menu button will work normally (without the
three-second delay) until you have completed your
changes. If it is not pressed for two minutes, it will
automatically revert back to the child-safe mode.

Let me know if this indeed solves the problem but either way please keep me posted.

Thank you for choosing FixYa and good luck.

Macmarkus :)

You can try turning it on and pressing all the buttons down at the same time, that sometimes will reset tv's to factory.
