Customer Questions and Answers for Panel- Con by Whirlpool

Hello Robert,

This is what I found in the use and care guide:
Control Lock Option


(select models)

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. If desired, the controls can be

locked after a cycle or delay has started.

Setting the Control Lock:

1. Press the Heated Dry pad for three seconds.

2. An indicator light next to the lock graphic will

illuminate when the controls are locked.

To Cancel:

1. Press the


Heated Dry pad for three seconds.

2. The indicator light will go off.


If this isn't working for you, it's either going to be a bad control panel 6-919844, (a failed button), or the control board has gone into failure.
