@mathildajobson it really depends on what exact model your Duet washer is. On a Duet WFW8300SW, WFW8500SW, WFW8500SR, you would need to select and hold END OF CYCLE SIGNAL for 3 seconds until the CONTROL LOCKED Status light turns off.

Actually, mathildajobson was correct. Press and hold the END OF CYCLE SIGNAL for 3 seconds or untill the CONTROL LOCKED status light turns off. The end of cycle signal button is found on the right side of the panel the offers (3) options with red lights: Louder, Softer,and Off. The button is found below the 3 options. Press and hold the button for around 3 seconds or until the Control Locked light goes out!. I could not find my Model Number. Mathilda Jobson was right. He just didn't finish telling where to find the END OF CYCLE SIGNAL. lesh1670@gmail

What is the model number of your washer?

by

@artdismang The button on my washer is labeled "Cycle Signal" and it sets the volume level for the beeper. Next to it, there is a button labeled "Control Lock". Both of those buttons have fine print underneath them suggesting that they be held for 3 seconds, but it was by holding the "Control Lock" button that I cleared the lock-light condition. Shockingly, prior to that, disconnecting the power for a week did not help. My washer looks a lot like the front-loader I see in the top-right corner of this page and both buttons as well as the light are on the right end of the control panel.
