Step 1
Make sure you enter valid instructions into the control panel -- the appliance may reject erroneous settings. Be sure to press "Start" and confirm the door is closed when you are ready to begin the cycle. Hit "Cancel" to start over if you make a mistake.
Step 2
Hold the "RINSE ONLY" or "NO HEATED DRY" pad, depending on the model, for three seconds until the padlock icon disappears from the LCD display. The child lock disables the dishwasher's controls to stop unsupervised kids from adjusting or starting the appliance. Cancelling the child lock restores the touch pad.
Step 3
Disconnect the dishwasher's power supply, either at the outlet or the breaker, and wait for five minutes for the controls to reset. The dishwasher may have frozen due to a software problem or another internal fault. Connect the power supply and try to use the dishwasher's touch controls again.
