Child Lock Active

SeverityLow

What does it mean?

"Control panel buttons are locked."

Common Causes

  • Child Lock feature was activated intentionally.
  • Temporary sensor glitch or wiring issue.
  • Control board communication failure (if persistent).

How to Fix It (Step-by-Step)

1

Immediate Action

Press and hold the designated button combo (usually Child Lock icon) for 3 seconds.

2

Perform a Hard Reset

Turn off the machine and unplug it from the wall for at least 5-10 minutes. This clears the capacitors and resets the control board logic.

Check Connections

Ensure water inlet hoses are not kinked, the drain hose is clear, and the door is firmly latched.
