Touch and hold the Keylock button (the padlock) for two seconds to switch Keylock off. ### Which buttons still work on a Fisher & Paykel dryer while KEY LOC is on? Power and Start/Pause stay live; the rest of the panel ignores touches. That is why the dryer can look unresponsive even though nothing is wrong with it. ### Does turning the Fisher & Paykel dryer off clear KEY LOC? No. Keylock stays set through a power-off, so after pressing Power you still hold the padlock button for two seconds before choosing a cycle. --- **[Read on the site: Fisher & Paykel dryer showing KEY LOC | DryerRepair.center](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/fisher-and-paykel-key-loc/)** **[Book a visit with DryerRepair.center](https://dryerrepair.center/schedule/)**
