Whirlpool Quiet Partner II-Locked-Solution

A light with a small lock symbol, located after the “Heated Dry” button and before the “Delay”, remains on solid. If I pressed any button, it would flash 4X and return to solid and nothing would run. I read somewhere that this was a child safety lock and that I can press and hold any button for 5 seconds and it would unlock. This solution was successful but only with the Heated Dry button.
