How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: No internal repair is needed for this feature; do not disassemble while under warranty.
- Disable child lock: On most Electrolux models, press and hold the designated key combination (often two specific buttons) for 3–5 seconds until CL disappears. Refer to the user manual for the exact buttons.
- Power reset: If CL will not clear, turn off power for 5 minutes, then restore and try again.
- Check buttons: If certain buttons are unresponsive, the user interface board may be faulty and require replacement.
