Does this washer have a child safety lock? null

No really must be careful about that .

Love this washer but does not have a child safety lock

Hi Cindy - Thanks for viewing GE Model GFW650SSNWW! Yes, the washer performs automatic system checks after pressing the Start pad. Water will flow in 45 seconds or less. You may hear the door lock and unlock and the pump activate before water flows. After pressing Start, the unit's computer checks the system and then locks the door. The basket turns 1/4-turn clockwise, then counter-clockwise and unlocks the door. This is called the Child Safety procedure. The system pauses for ~15 seconds with the door unlocked, to allow a child to get out. The system locks the door and does a dry spin to determine the weight of the clothes in the washer. The Lock icon will illuminate while the door is locked and will blink while the washer is in the process of pausing and then unlocking. Also, the Control Lock feature on Front Load Washers can prevent any selections from being made when activated. The controls can be locked or unlocked after a cycle has started. Children cannot accidentally start the washer by touching pads with this option selected. If you have any additional questions, do not hesitate to ask, we are also happy to help at GEAppliances.com!
