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.

    Who said they’re unsupervised? I legitimately don’t understand how you think this works. Do you think an adult should be behind them 100% of the time with their hands ready to grab theirs at a moments notice?

      🤦‍♀️ That was literally my first comment.

      If the child is supervised, you would see them go to the washing machine and reach for the button. Which is the problem you initially raised about the child lock.

      “This button isnt child locked”

      Supervise your child

      “Omg are you telling me to put my child in a cage?!”

      … right.

        Again, who said they’re not supervised? She was stood right in front of me in the kitchen.

        “Omg are you telling me to put my child in a cage?!”

        I’m not entirely sure what else you think should happen where you can totally control what they do. Can you say you have 100% supervision of your 2+ year old children and are within arms reach 100% of the time?

          … So you were supervising and watching her, but let her press buttons on the washing machine? And you specifically need extra child safety buttons to stop that? Rather than … preventing her, since you are supervising and watching her?

            Do you think supervising means you have to be stood right by them at all times and ready to grab their hands the moment they move them? And doing this for 12 hours a day, constantly?

                So you do this with your children right? Constantly standing right next to them, arms at the ready to grab them, running around never letting them within 50cm of you?

                    Yeah it’s an extreme, but it’s what you seem to be suggesting because apparently not doing that means they’re not supervised. What do you do with your children?
