Whirlpool Duet Washer is LOCKED ! I need it UNLOCKED !!

I have accidentally 'LOCKED' my Whirlpool Duet washer. When I bought my washer, I bought it as a 'floor model' from Lowe's, so I have no manual on it. Can someone -- anyone -- tell me how to UNLOCK my washer??? I can't get it to do anything!! Not even come on!! The light comes on, but not the washer!

Push and hold the button that looks like a pad lock for three seconds and a beeping sound and then it should unlock. Depending on your model. Let me know.

How do i reset a duet whirlpool. GHW9400PL2

On the Whirlpool Duet washer, try pressing and holding the End of Cycle signal button (on the far right of the control panel) for 3+ seconds to toggle the Control Lock on/off. See the manual here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/193849/Whirlpool-Duet-Front-Load-Washer.html?page=10#manual and here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/193849/Whirlpool-Duet-Front-Load-Washer.html?page=12#manual . The small print about the Control Lock is almost readable (with good eyesight/correction) in the control panel closeup of the GHW9400PL here: https://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadison/GHW9400PL.html .

I hope this helps.

(When you turn off the washer, it will remember the last setting for the Control Lock. This ensures that the washer can't be accidentally started by a child or while you clean the control panel.)

Whirlpool Duet Washer 'Control Locked'

Press cancel or if that doesn't work unplug the washer from the main socket - this should clear all the settings so that you can reset the washer.
