To unlock the child lock on a Samsung washing machine, follow these general steps. Please note that the exact steps may vary depending on the specific model of your Samsung washing machine, so it's always a good idea to refer to the user manual for your particular model if you encounter any difficulties.
Locate the Child Lock button: Look for the Child Lock button on the control panel of the washing machine. It is typically labeled "Child Lock" or "Child Lock/Door Lock" and is often accompanied by an icon of a child's face or a lock.
Press and hold the Child Lock button: Press and hold the Child Lock button for a few seconds (usually around 3 to 5 seconds). This action should disable the child lock feature and unlock the washing machine.
Verify the child lock is deactivated: Once you've held the button for the appropriate duration, check if the child lock is indeed deactivated. Try to adjust the settings or open the washing machine door to confirm that it is no longer locked.
If you don't find a dedicated Child Lock button on your washing machine's control panel, there might be an alternative way to activate or deactivate the child lock feature. Again, refer to your washing machine's user manual for specific instructions.
If you no longer have the user manual or encounter difficulties despite following the instructions, you can visit Samsung's official website or contact their customer support for assistance. They will be able to provide you with the exact steps tailored to your model and help you unlock the child lock.
