How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: No internal repair is needed for this symptom unless the lock cannot be cleared.

  • 1. Deactivate child lock: Refer to your Panasonic user manual. Commonly, press and hold a specific key (e.g., Stop/Cancel or a key combination) for 3–5 seconds until the lock symbol disappears.
  • 2. Power reset: If the lock will not clear, turn off power at the breaker for 5 minutes, then restore and try again.
  • 3. Check for stuck buttons: If the lock re-engages or keys do not respond, the keypad or touch panel may be faulty and require replacement.
