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 :)
