Hello there and welcome to fixya The child lock function of your Bosch dishwasher prevents accidental program changes and stops children playing with the controls while the appliance is running. You might want to turn the lock off if it has been accidentally turned on. The controls of the dishwasher are disabled, preventing you from starting a new wash, while the child lock is running. The lock is simple to turn on and off, as necessary, in just a few seconds

Press and hold the start button until the child lock turns off.

Hello, welcome to FixYa.

The Key symbol means the lock has been activated some how.

On most bosch of your class this is how you work it on & off.

Here`s how to deactivate it...

1) Press the "menu" button until you see "CHILD LOCK :ON" appear in the display. ( if nothing is pressed within 10 sec.following this the menu will close and it will default to program in the display )

2) Once you see what I just mentioned in the display press the "select" button until "CHILD LOCK :OFF" appears in the display.

3) Finally by pressing the "start/pause" button the key symbol should disappear confirming you have successfully exited the child lock program.

Let me know if this was helpful to you or not, if so please take a second and rate it accordingly.

Thank you for visiting "fixya" for your washer solution inquiry.

good luck going forward.

It is the child lock. Turn machine on & then press & hold the start button for 5 second. Code will flash then disappear & machine will be back to normal.

You have probably inadvertently activated the child lock. You can start a cycle still, but you will need to hold the start button for approx 5 secs. Check you user guide for deactivation instruction.

Hello Lynn, Welcome to fixya. The key symbol indicates the washer has somehow been placed in the "child lock" mode, hence it won't allow any program to over-ride it. Here's what to do to deactivate it... 1) Press the "menu" button until you see "CHILD LOCK :ON" appear in the display. ( if nothing is pressed within 10 sec.following this the menu will close and it will default to program in the display ) 2) Once you see what I just mentioned in the display press the "select" button until "CHILD LOCK :OFF" appears in the display. 3) Finally by pressing the start/pause button the key symbol should disappear confirming you have successfully exited the child lock program. That is the procedure for the child lock function on your Bosch washer and should solve your problem. Let me know if this was helpful to you or not, if so please take a second and rate it accordingly. Thank you for visiting "fixya" for your washer solution inquiry. good luck going forward. macmarkus :)
