Hold To Lock Light

I have a small picture of a lock on my diswasher that says "hold to lock". There is a little light on beside it that I have never seen on. I cannot press any of the washing functions. How do I turn the light off? I am not even sure how it got turned on.

I Know the Answer!

Hello spndlyn – It seems that the child lock control has accidently been pressed. It is design to prevent children from accidently change the dishwasher cycle or starting the dishwasher. It locks the dishwasher controls by pressing and releasing the DELAY TIME icon for 3 seconds. Do you see an indication lock light on your dishwasher illuminate? It will usually appear when the controls are locked and no new selections can be made until the lock is released. To unlock the controls, press the DELAY TIME icon under the indicator light goes out.
