The lock button activates/deactivates the Keylock or the Childlock functions. This button has either a key or a padlock icon. I believe that on this model it is a padlock

Keylock

The Keylock feature disables all the buttons on the control panel.

To activate, press and hold the button until you hear one beep (3 seconds). The symbol

appears in the electronic display when the Keylock feature is activated.

Childlock

The Childlock feature locks the drawer and disables all the buttons on the control panel.

To activate, press and hold the button until you hear two beeps (5 seconds). The symbol

appears in the electronic display when the Childlock feature is activated.

To cancel the Childlock feature, press and hold the button until you hear one beep and the
symbol disappears from the electronic display.

This information can also be found in your product's Use and Care manual. If yours has been misplaced you can download or print one from Fisher and Paykel's website. http://www.fisherpaykel.com/customercare/userguide/index.cfm

If this doesn't work... And I've seen these units do some odd things. Try unplugging it for about an hour (if plug is not under sink you can turn of the breaker that powers the unit). Then plug it back in and see if that works. These dishwasher like many modern day appliances have solid state microprocessors in them which sometimes need reset just like a computer.

Hope this helps.

Set my dishwasher on the wrong program pressed the start button then change mind it was on the wrong setting switch of changed setting now will not start

Try throw the breaker off for 15 min then back on. That may clear the program. If not restart it on the "wrong" cycle and let it finish out.

Kenmore elite washer not starts just blinking lights.

What light(s) blink? How many times to they blink? Do they blink all the time, or just when you press a key? If it's just 1 light that blinks 3 times whenever you press a key, then you have the child-lock (or control-lock) function turned on. If you look at your control console closely, you should see some key near the lock symbol (frequently the Heated Dry key), with the notation "hold 3 seconds". Press and hold that key for 3 to 4 seconds to de-activate the child-lock.

My fisher n paykel draw dishwasher wont start it has three buttons a (on/off )(play/pause)(lock symbol) wat do i press to make it all start,

First press the ON/ OFF button to see if the display lights up. Once you select the program from the panel then press the PLay/ Pause button to start the cycle. Pressing the key button will prevent accidental pressing of the ON/ OFF or the Play./ pause button when the dishwasher is running. It is a child lock button. To turn it off (if you have selected it) press Keylock button again.

I think you want to disable the childlock key. I think all you need to do is press the child lock key for 5-6 secs .That should disable the child lock.

Dishwasher will not start. The only light that comes on is the "control lock." Model #: KUDP01DL

Press and hold the control lock key for about 10-30 seconds, or until it goes off. This is the "child lock out" mode.

The KitchenAid dishwasher "child lock " is on and we can not star

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. To turn off the child lock press and hold the Energy saver Dry for 10-15 seconds. If this does not help the unfortunately you’ll have to replace the control panel.
Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further assistance.


Thanks
