Good day!

Letters cL on the display of the machine they show that the child lock is on. On some models, this function, when turned on, is retained until the end of the cycle, while on others, it is maintained all the time until it is forcibly turned off. The protection mechanism is activated by simultaneously pressing buttons. “Super Rinse” and “Prewash” and keeping them pressed for 3 seconds. On the control panel, these buttons are highlighted with lines with a stylized image of a lock with a smile inside.

Spontaneous blocking and the impossibility of its disconnection are associated with a failure of the control unit. Self repair damage at home is difficult. It is necessary to use the services of specialists in repairing household appliances.
