Try holding the power button down until the machine turns off. Wait at least two minutes, turn it back on see if the issue has been resolved.

Testimonial: "This worked fantastic thanks very much as no other info was as helpful they just said I would have to send it back to Dell so this is really great"

How to disable the child lock on Electrolux washing machine EFLS617STT

How do I turn off the child lock on my Electrolux washing machine?
On earlier Electrolux models, this function should not have been enabled, but it can be disabled/enabled by simultaneously pressing the two buttons to the left of Start/Pause and holding them down for about 5 seconds, when the "padlock" symbol will illuminate (enabled) or extinguish (disabled).Feb 25, 2019

When i Press start the washing machine clicks a few times then red padlock light comes on. Door interlock changed but still happening. Any help appreciated.

I gather that the interlock has been replaced and now the padlock symbol lights up plus some clicking. I think the clicks are the door lock engaging and the padlock just shows this. Do the clicks continue? Does the door stay locked? If so I believe you have a fix.

Code 2, 189,0

All scanners come with the scanning head locked to prevent damage to it during shipping. On the back of the scanner, where the power cord and wires connect, there will be a sliding switch, sometimes a turning type lock, with two positions, one with the icon of a closed [so locked] padlock and the other with the icon of a open [so unlocked] padlock. Every scanner I have bought describes this lock in the setup manual.

Padlock on my netgear is on

Even though it's locked down you should still be able to connect locally. You may need to use a cable. Once logged into the router you can access the settings to allow access.

Key board troobleshoot

Your NUM LOCK key is turned on. Look closely at the top row of keys, you should see one that has an icon of a number inside a padlock, or it might say NumLock, NumLk, etc. Press your function key, and while holding it down, press the numlock key as well. You want to press them both at the same time.

You should also see a light somewhere as well. Usually an icon of a number inside a padlock. When you turn Number Lock off, this light will go out.

Locked down cant get into it

alot of these units have a tiny padlock slide switch on the top or bottom end. It may be as simple as sliding this over. However, so many units vary, i'd suggest pulling out the ol' manual, or finding one online for your unit. best of luck

Stupid padlock/main menu keeps opening and closing DELLe152fp

That is the OSD (On Screen Display) system built-in to your computer monitor. Check that when you hit the ON/OFF button on your monitor, that you do *NOT* hit the 'OSD ON/OFF' button.

Most of the time, the OSD will disappear after 10 seconds of "non-use".
