The oven operation can be locked to prevent the microwave from accidentally being turned on. All oven functions can be locked.
To Set: Touch and hold the CANCEL/OFF Pad for three seconds. The Display shows “LOCKED” and the oven beeps.
To Cancel: Touch and hold the CANCEL/OFF Pad for three seconds. “LOCKED” disappears from the Display and the oven beeps.
If this does not work, then try a hard reset: Unplug the unit for a
minute or so. Then plug it back in, set the clock and try again.
If it still fails, you probably have a problem with the controller.

You may lock the control panel to prevent the microwave from being accidentally started or used by children.
To lock the control: press and hold the clear/off pad for about 3 seconds. The display will show "lock" and will then return to the time of day. A small "L" will be displayed to remind you that the control panel is locked. The display will show "lock" if anyone tries to use the microwave. On some models, you press and hold the "5" and "7" pads simultaneously for three seconds.
To unlock the control: press and hold the clear/off pad for about three seconds. Or on some models you press and hold the "5" and "7" simultaneously for three seconds

The control lock shuts down the control panel pads to avoid unintended use of the microwave oven. To unlock/lock control, the microwave must be in standby mode, touch and hold stop/clear for 3 seconds until one long tone sounds and the display clears to show an outline if the display area. Repeat to unlock control, and return display to the time of day, if any pad is touched while the control is locked, there will be no response from the microwave oven. hope this helps.
I have a Whirlpool toom which states in manual: -- To lock/Unlock....Touch and hold START?ENTER for 5 second until 2 tones sound and "L" appears on dsplay. Repeat the same if you lock or unlock. Hope this helps.
