On the Whirlpool Duet washer, try pressing and holding the End of Cycle signal button (on the far right of the control panel) for 3+ seconds to toggle the Control Lock on/off. See the manual here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/193849/Whirlpool-Duet-Front-Load-Washer.html?page=10#manual and here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/193849/Whirlpool-Duet-Front-Load-Washer.html?page=12#manual . The small print about the Control Lock is almost readable (with good eyesight/correction) in the control panel closeup of the GHW9400PL here: https://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadison/GHW9400PL.html .
I hope this helps.
