How to turn Child Lock on and off on my Samsung dryer
While washers and dryers are an important part of many households, they can also pose a safety concern if you have children in the house. To prevent children from accidentally starting or playing around with your Samsung dryer, the Child Lock feature disables the buttons on the control panel, with the exception of a few things like Power. On many models, it will also lock the door, which will remain locked even if the washer is restarted. If you want to add laundry later, just turn off Child Lock temporarily, add your laundry and then turn it back on again.
How to turn on Child Lock
Child Lock is activated using a two-button combination that's labeled on the control panel. Sometimes you'll see the words "Child Lock" with lines pointing to the appropriate buttons. Other times, there may be a Child Lock icon that identifies which buttons to press. If you still aren't sure what buttons to press, you can find the exact combination in your user manual.

More information about Child Lock
- The buttons used to disable Child Lock and the buttons that will still function while Child Lock is activated may vary between models. It also depends on whether or not a cycle is currently running.
- Restarting the dryer will not disable Child Lock.
- FlexDry models have a separate Child Lock setting for each panel.
- On many models, a Temporary off setting is included, which causes the Child Lock icon to flash and the door to unlock. After one minute, Child Lock will re-engage and lock the door again. If the door is open when the time is up, an alarm will sound for two minutes. If the door is closed within that time, Child Lock will stay activated; if not, it will deactivate.
