"unlock" the machine by pressing on '3' and holding for a few seconds. Thats what it says on the back of my dishwasher which is the exact same model.

SOURCE: Our dishwasher's lock indicator won't turn off,

Try holding the button down for longer say 5 seconds. When you push the button and hold it the little green light should blink. I would disconnect the power for longer..try 20 minutes. If that does not work then remove the inner panel and disconnect the control panel connector from the control box then plug it back in...see if that clears the locked control. If it continues to have a problem then you may need to replace the control panel.

Hello, welcome to FixYa.

I'll start by saying the "2" in the display when you press cancel is normal. If you allow it to complete it should initiate the drain before you press cancel the second time.

Initially It sound's like a fill valve or stuck float assembly, though there are many possible scenarios that can include a heating element or a control board, so I'll need to clarify the unit will indeed complete the cancel if you do not push it the second time and if it does complete the cancel will it then in turn start a new cycle ?

Let me know what you find or if you can add any further details and I'll try to help moving forward any way I can. Good luck.

Thanks for visiting FixYa.

Regards,

Macmarkus :)

I have a maytag quiet series 300 dishwasher. On the control panel there is a green light on next to a picture of what appears to be a lock with a number 3 in the middle of it. I am not able to use my...

press and hold the heated dry button 3 seconds it will unlock the dishwasher. That 3 with the lock around it show you that the dishwasher has been locked out to keep buttons from being able to be pushed. You can lock it and unlock it by holding the heated dry button 3 seconds.

My "3 Sec" button is

The control touchpads can be locked to prevent unwanted use. If this feature is activated between cycles, the dishwasher cannot be operated until the controls are unlocked.

The indicator tells you that the controls have been locked to prevent kids from messing with them.

Press and hold the "3 Sec" (control lock) button continuously for 3-5 seconds. That should clear the lock.Now you can use the controls normally.

To re-enable the control lock, press and hold the control lock button continuously for 3-5 seconds, until it indicates locked.

The dishwasher will not turn on. The light is on where it says "to lock controls press 3 seconds" How do I unlock the controls?

Try holding the "lock controls" button in for 3-5 seconds, until the light goes out. On our dishwasher, the light for the lock-out feature is not on the button itself, but on the far left of the panel.
