“How does this unit lock? Older dishwashers have a lever that you push or move to the side to begin operation so that it's not opened while it's washing. How do I keep my toddler from opening this model while it's running and if it locks automatically does that mean I can't add items once the cycle has begun? Thanks.”

I think that a toddler would have to give quite a pull on the handle to get it opened. As far as adding something once the cycle has started you can open the door and add the item. The instruction booklet recommends that should you open the door during the cycle to do that slowly in the event steam escapes.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There is a child lock button on the control panel. I have not used it so not sure how it works. Appears that it just requires more force to pull open the door when the option is on.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It has a child lock button, which is under the counter so id assume you can't open it until the cycle is finished.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, I have added items after the wash has started. Just have to hit the start button again. As for the toddler, I would think the novelty would wear off and they might pull it once or twice, but forget about it after it's been checked out by them.
