Frequently Asked Questions
Samsung induction cooktop child lock keeps activating by itself?
Auto-activation of the child lock is usually caused by moisture or an object resting on the control panel. Keep the panel dry and clear, and consider activating the lock intentionally when leaving the kitchen.
Samsung induction cooktop locked and will not respond to any button — what to do?
Cut power at the wall socket, wait 60 seconds, then restore. If the cooktop returns to normal and the lock symbol is gone, it was a child lock issue. If the panel is still unresponsive after power cycling, a hardware fault is present.
Is the child lock the same as the control panel lock on Samsung induction cooktops?
Yes — Samsung uses both terms for the same feature. Pressing the lock button freezes all control inputs. Holding the same button for 3 seconds unlocks the panel.
