This button might be labeled as 'Control Lock', 'Heated Dry', or show a lock symbol, depending on your model. Press and hold this button for about 3 to 4 seconds until the light indicating the lock goes out or until you hear a beep. This action deactivates the control lock feature, allowing you to use the dishwasher normally again. If the control lock doesn't disengage, unplug the dishwasher or flip the circuit breaker for a minute before trying again.
