Yes, there is a child safety control on the Whirlpool Duet. The Control Lock is a safety feature that allows the consumer to lock the control panel to prevent small children from manipulating the controls. The following link explains how to turn the feature on/off:

If this does not correct your problem, then you may have a more serious problem than a simple operator control issue. If you need further assistance, please let me know. I hope this corrects the problem for you.

What is capacity of my whirlpool duet ggw9250pw1? I don't see the answer identified. thank you

The Whirlpool Duet ggw9250pw1 looks like it has a 7.0 cu. ft. capacity. This is based on two different sources. The first has the GGW9250PW1 in a list of parts for 7.0 cu. ft. capacity Whirlpool dryer models. See http://www.appliancepartspros.com/search.aspx?model=whirlpool%20duet%207%200%20cu%20ft%20super%20capacity%20electric%20dryer .
Similarly, the related electric dryer, GEW9250PW1, is shown as having a 7.0 cu. ft. capacity at AJMadison.com: https://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadison/GEW9250PW.html .

I hope this helps.

My washer won't start because the Control locked light is on Help?

on the control panel you should see a button marked lock or child proof or with a pic of lock or key...  hold in for 3 - 5 secs and that should unlock it.  it's there to stop the little ones from messing with the washer since the controls are in reach if inquisitive hands.

The control panel red light is on: Control Locked" and dryer won't start what should I do?

While the machine is on press "end of cycle" for 3 seconds. Try this again if it does not open, this is the child lock program - to lock and unlock; it is the same procedure.

How abt a nice rating for the free help? Thnks

Control button is locked and will not unlock

You should try unplugging the washer for a while, this may reset it. Look in the manual on how to operate the child lock function if there is one. If you can't get it to work after that, there may be a mechanical problem.
