Touch and hold the Keylock button for 2 seconds. ### Why won't the buttons on my Fisher & Paykel respond with KEY LOC shown? The keylock is on. Holding the Keylock button for 2 seconds turns it off. ### KEY LOC is off, but my Fisher & Paykel buttons still do nothing. What now? Then the lock is not the cause, and the controls need to be checked on a visit. --- **[Read on the site: Fisher & Paykel washer showing KEY LOC | WasherRepair.center](https://washerrepair.center/error-codes/fisher-and-paykel-key-loc/)** **[Book a visit with WasherRepair.center](https://washerrepair.center/schedule/)**
