On the far right sode of the control panel there is a unlock control reset button. Hold it for 3 seconds and the fault will clear.
I have the front load Whirlpool Duet washing machine and when I load it and press the start button, I hear the door lock and then the lights flash and the machine doesn't start. It just sits there flashing......am I doing something wrong? I have six people's worth of laundry piling up...help!
Look to the far right side of the controls and the last bottom button on the right (if you look closely will say control lock hold for 3 secs) and the controls will unlock, its a child safety feature
You guys Rock. The key is to read the darn panel. It tells you exactly what to do. If it wasnt for this post I would have never thought about reading the control panel..... Hold for 3-5 seconds and it clears...
Is there a solution to this problem or will it be a major problem,

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Just wanted to thank you for the information. Greatly appriecieted. We have five children and one day without a washer is a nitemare. Worked great and as it said it only took 3 seconds.
I have the same problem, but my washer won't turn on or do anything. the door is locked. Any ideas?
Aborcass thx a lot i fixed my problem. my little girl must have pressed all the buttons while she was in the laundry room.
Everyonce in a while the contol might get locked up during a power failure, if it is washing at the time. The door usually stays locked. If you can take the kick plate off and unlock the door by pulling on the release mechanism on the lock itself behind the front panel, then open the door and from there try to get your control to work.

This is a common issue with Whirlpool Duet washer however;
your whirlpool duet washer needs a reset to resolve the control lock problem.
Press and hold the END OF CYCLE/CYCLE SIGNAL button for 15 seconds to reset
the control. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

I'm having a similar problem. We just got ours. It was running fine. Now the power won't come on. The controls lock works (can lock and unlock) but other than that-no power. I've turned off the circuit breaker and turned it back on with no luck. HELP
control locked is showing on the front of my duet washer. I have unplugged the machine but it will not ceed the locked control. The door is not locked and opens freely.
CONTOL LOCK IS LIGHT AND WASHER WONT RUN
CONTOL LOCK IS LIGHT AND WASHER WONT RUN
the specifics are that the light next to control panel locked is on and the machine will not run and their is nothing I know of to get the control pannel unlocked.
control lock light is on - machine won't do anything
The "control lock" is activated on my Duet Dryer, but holding the loudness button in for the recommended 3 or 4 or 10 seconds does NOT unlock the control.
Any suggestions?
