Which model Siemens washer do you have? For the WM16Y792GB, the child lock is toggled on and off by pressing and holding 2 buttons that are below the LCD display screen on the left side of the screen for 3+ seconds. The phrase "Child Lock 3 seconds" is just below the buttons. The temperature and spin buttons are above the display in the corresponding location.

For the WM12Q391GB, the child lock is toggled on and off by holding the Start button for about 5 seconds. On this model, the Start button is the one to the farthest right. This button doesn't seem to have a symbol or text indicating that it also controls the Child Lock feature. The manual does tell how to toggle the Child Lock feature on and off.

Many Siemens appliance manuals are available from their web site. Some are available here: http://www.siemens-home.com/ie/customer-service/manuals . Otherwise, try to find the product site and click on the Downloads tab. The washers listed above both have the manuals on their pages. The WM12Q391GB page is http://www.siemens-home.com/ie/productlist/laundry/washing-machines/WM12Q391GB?breadcrumb=frontloaderwashingmachines . The WM16Y792GB page is http://www.siemens-home.com/ie/productlist/laundry/washing-machines/WM16Y792GB?breadcrumb=frontloaderwashingmachines .

I hope this helps. Otherwise, please add a comment with the model of your washer. I will attempt to locate the Child Lock information you need,

Child safety lock is on, how do I unlock it?

The child safety lock on the car doors is usually controlled by a switch that is located along the outside edge of the door. Open the door and look along the outside edge of the door for a small switch. This switch sets the child safety lock to on or off. The switch may look similar to the photo I've included. If you still cannot find the child safety lock, please check the owner's manual for your car.

How do I use the Child Lock option on Samsung WF-B1456GW?

Hi there,

You can use the child lock feature in 2 ways.

1. To prevent operation of the washing machine when no wash cycle is running

To set this feature, switch the machine on using the POWER button at the top-left of the control-panel. Next, press and hold both the SPIN and RINSE buttons for about 3 seconds - until the child lock light indicator on the control panel illuminates. All functions of the washing machine will now be disabled apart from POWER ON/OFF until such time as the child lock is deactivated.

To deactivate the child lock, press and hold the SPIN and RINSE buttons again until the child lock light indicator on the control panel goes out.

2. To prevent any tiny fingers from tampering with the machine while a program is running.

After pressing the START/PAUSE button to start the wash cycle, press and hold the SPIN and RINSE buttons until the child lock light indicator illuminates. All buttons on the control panel will now be disabled until the child lock has been disabled. When the wash cycle has finished, you will need to switch the child lock off again to reactivate the buttons. Once you have finished using the washer, reactivate the child lock again before switching the power off as above.

The feature can also be used when using the delayed start feature, but needs to be set after pressing the START/PAUSE button.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Regards,
BElectric

The child locks are stuck it only opens from the outside

there is a slider switch on the door(between door and frame) that you can lock or unlock the child locks to prevent them from opening the door from inside but still can open door from outside----just slide the lock switch to enable or disable the child lock.

if they are stuck/stiff---you may have to remove the door panel for repair.

Usually they work free with a liitle lubricant(WD-40) to slide easier.
