My dishwasher has locked all of the control buttons. It says to hold the air dry button for 4 seconds to unlock, but that is not working. I cut of the power to the dishwasher and that does not work either.

What you have to do is hold down the ProDry button(Press and hold the NO HEAT DRY/HEATED DRY button for 10 seconds and the control lock will unlock. ) for 4 seconds and it will unlock. Apparently, this is a child-lock mechanism.
Hold the Air Dry button until the light goes off. or Press and hold the "Heated Dry" button for approximately 4 seconds. The control lock indicator light under the padlock symbol will turn off when the controls are unlocked.But if that is not helping then its faulty control panel.It has to be replaced.Unplug the unit from power outlet for 10 minutes then reconnect and check,if lock light turns off.----------------- Thank you.
holding the button for four seconds will not do it, you have to hold it until the light stops blinking and
will go back to normal, normall takes more than four seconds to unlock the unit, this is something
the sears repair techs know becouse the are trained on all this things but, they will not share this things, becouse thats how they make money
Control Lock means that the entire dishwasher is locked, for child safety purposes. It's normally cleared by holding the "No Heat Dry" button in for 4 seconds or more. It is locked again by the same procedure -- holding the "No HEat Dry" button for 4 seconds (or more).
There should be a button on the machine with a padlock symbol. Hold it down for 4 seconds to unlock it. If you want to lock it again, hold it down for 4 seconds to turn it on.
