3. If there is no dedicated lock button, press and hold the “Start” or “Stop” button for three to five seconds until the display shows “Unlock” or the lock icon disappears.
Following these steps will unlock your GE microwave and allow you to use it normally.
Modern microwave ovens come with automated electronic controls that allow you to easily cook various food items. However, these controls can be dangerous if accessed by young children. To address this safety concern, GE has included a child lock-out feature in their advanced microwaves. This feature can be easily enabled and disabled by adults, ensuring that the microwave cannot be accidentally operated by a child.
Step 1
To activate the child lock, press and hold the “Clear/Off” button on the microwave’s keypad for approximately three seconds.
Step 2
Wait for the “L” symbol, indicating that the microwave is locked, to disappear from the display.
Step 3
To deactivate the child lock, simply press the open latch button to open the microwave.
