It has a child lock mode so the settings and start button don’t do anything when the child lock is enabled.
But the power button still works and is next to the start button.
My 2 year old daughter pressed the power button 1 hour into the 1hr 30min cycle and now because everything is wet, starting the cycle again means it’s going to take nearly 4 hours.
Uh? She’s two, she can wander around the kitchen and living room safely just fine. The washing machine is in the kitchen as we don’t have a separate utility room.
Just to add, she was right in front of me, but it took her a second to reach up and press it.
