greetings in this video I'm going to
show you how to turn the lock
on or off on any GE microwave if you
want to make it to where your children
can't start turning it on basically
that's the lock that doesn't mean that
they can't open the door it just means
that they can't turn the microwave on
so I'm going to show you how to turn
that on or off so you might have
accidentally turned the lock on or
someone did it and you can't get it on
now you might see a little l indicator
on here showing that it's locked or you
might see like a little red light that's
that's showing that it's locked now I
want to show you three different methods
and there's several dozen microwave
options Ovens that have different
options so I want to show you show you
how to do the majority of them so the
first thing you do is look to see if
there's a clear off button somewhere
near the time or the controller if you
can locate a clear slash off button
what you're going to do to turn it on
you're going to hold it the clear off
button down for three seconds
and then it should show on something on
here where it's locked it'll show like a
little L that you lock it to unlock it
go ahead and locate that button and then
hold it down for three seconds and
that'll unlock it for you now on a lot
of GE microwaves
to do this you what you want to do is
you're going to hold down the number
five and the number seven button
simultaneously at the same time so as
you can see here five and seven what
we're going to do is we're going to hold
both of these down
for three seconds
one two three and then that will lock a
lot of the GE microwaves okay and then
to unlock it same thing to unlock it
you're just going to hold down the five
and the seven number simultaneously
for three to five seconds and that
should unlock it on this particular
microwave it's got the option I want to
show you how to do that but real quickly
if your microwave is locked and those
two options did not work for you what I
want you to do is a soft reset of your
microwave and just simply unplug it from
the wall
like that and leave it out for about a
minute
and that'll do a soft reset and then
that will unlock
a majority of the GE microwaves now on
this GE microwave it's got inverter
technology on it it's a little bit
different so you're going to see here
you're going to locate an option button
right here
and so we're going to turn the child
lock on by clicking option
and then what you're going to do is
choose option four
okay as you see there it says child lock
what you're going to do to turn it on
you're going to press one
and if you see that it's already on
there's already a lock you're going to
press two so we can go ahead and press
one
and now it's got the child lock on
okay
so as you can see here
it's locked now
Now to turn this off you go back to
option
you click four
and to turn off
you press two
see there okay thank you for watching
