What should I do when control panel buttons malfunction?

Once the Child Lock function has activated, it continues working even if the power is turned off. Therefore, you need to make sure to deactivate it or cancel the function to start the laundry. When the Child Lock function is on, the Child lock indicator blinks with the information code (CL, dC) on the display panel. 

How to deactivate the Child Lock (different per model)

Tips for control the buttons with the Child lock enabled (Top loader only)

• You can still manipulate the control panel while the door is closed. If you open the door and an information code (CL, dC) appears with an alarm. The machine will drain after 30 seconds to prevent infant or child accidents such as drowning.
  
• The Child Lock only becomes active when the water supply is complete. 
• If the door is left open for 30 seconds with the tub containing water, the machine drains the water with the CL code and cannot be stopped. 
• To add detergent or more laundry in the tub, or to change the cycle settings, you must first deactivate the Child Lock.
