Try unplugging for 5 min and plug back in.
if not working still order new interface stuck button sounds like
someone has been hitting buttons to hard or soapy water spilled on pannel
1. Switch on the power and when the language is displayed - press the child lock+ temperature+ spin buttons simultaneously for about 5 seconds. Release the child lock button when other languages appear. Scroll down using temperature button-until English is dispalyed. Select using child lock button.
1st try pulling the mains plug out for an hr to see if this will reset the main board.. failing that its either a faulty console board or the board has dislodged from panel at rear so when you are pressing the button you are not making contact with the switch itself.. good luck
HI I KNOW IT SOUNDS DAFT BUT HAVE YOU TRIED SWITCHING THE CHILD LOCK OFF? I CANT REMEMBER EXACTLY WHICH BUTTONS IT IS ON YOUR MODEL BUT YOU USUALLY HAVE TO PRESS 2 BUTTONS AT THE SAME TIME (& SOMETIMES HOLDING THEM FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS) RATHER THAN JUST 1 TO SWITCH THE CHILD LOCK ON/OFF. IF YOU STILL HAVE THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL IT WILL TELL YOU WHICH BUTTONS YOU PRESS TO SWITCH CHILD LOCK ON/OFF HOPE THIS HELPS!
the icon means that the child lock is on.
if you switch on the power to the appliance and hold down the child lock button untill the icon disapears the you will be able to select a program.
Press "end of cycle" button for over 5 seconds, the child lock comes off. Press it again and the child lock comes on, this works for Hotpoints, you could try, no harm.
If it works, pl rate me.
