"Contol locked" light is on. Nothing else responds.
The "control locked" red light is on and the dryer will not respond when any other button is pushed. What to do?
Questa è una buona domanda?

Deborah, try this first:"
Press and hold for 3 seconds the "Control Lock/Unlock" button on the control panel to lock the control panel. Listen for a double beep and observe the "Control Lock" status light is lit when the control lock is in effect. Press and hold for 3 seconds the "Control Lock/Unlock" button on the control panel to unlock the control panel. The "Control Lock" status light is goes out when the control panel is unlocked.

In addition to Oldturkeys answer, try unplugging it for five minutes to allow it to reset.

I have the HE4. I tried all of this, and they didn't work. However, I pressed and held the "Auto Dry Level" just to test other things, and it did the trick for me. Appreciate the input because I wouldn't have tried it otherwise though.

Turn off the power to the dryer for about a minute then turn it back on.
If the control lock is still on then push the “End of Cycle Signal” button for 3 seconds.
If it still won’t respond then you need a new control board!

I have a Kenmore Elite he3 and I have to hold the "Drain/Spin" button "AND" the main "Start (Press & Hold)" button at the same time for 3 seconds. Works every time.

I held the start button and control Lock button at the same time for for a few seconds until you hear the beep sounds and a unlock sound.

If your control panel looks like this, I pushed and held each button for 10 seconds starting with the top left and working to my right bottom. On mine it was the ‘End of Cycle Signal” button. How I did this was, to first unplug it for 5 min (didn’t work) Then, push a single button at 1 time for 10 seconds and hit the pink cancel button 1 time between each new button. until it works or if it hadn’t , My plan was to begin pushing 2 at a time in a logical order. It won’t let me post the pictures, sorry.

It was the End of cycle signal button for me also. Thanks for posting.
I also pressed the pink control button and the end of cycle button at the same time for 10 seconds and it worked.
Holding the end of the cycle button for three seconds did the trick . Afterwards I noticed that directions printed right below the end of the cycle. Geez!
I held the auto steam button for 3 seconds and it worked

Whirlpool duet, didn't work for me. Somtimes if I unplug, wait and replug, it goes off. Other times it does not. But I don't even think the door locks. Please help, so annoying with half dried clothes.

Pushing button for 3 seconds worked for me. It is time to clean the lint from the back of it. This should be done regularly. I would say at least 4 times a year.
Did not work for me.

If lock light wont go off,wont reset,You Can Wash dishes! Just drive a finishing nail into lock light til it goes out. I swear you will have full wash powers, just won't lock.But, I Never knew it had a lock till it stuck. I did this,as instructed by appliance serviceman of 40yrs. It works perfectly fine and no $ outta my wallet. This is a 20 yr old washer, not saying do it on newer model Kenmore D/W.

I tried everything else.. I literally smashed a finishing nail into the light and my piece of crap Kenmore dishwasher came to life instantly.
Totally incredible. Thanks Rusty.. Awesome advice!!
I'm tearing down my house in 4-6 months and I did not want to install a new dishwasher, so this certainly got the job done!! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Worked for me. I did it with the power off and removed the finishing nail. I cannot understand how this could work. Lets see how long it lasts!!!!!!!!!!!
