Title: fogwash sensor bypass?
Post by: Carl@Cwc on March 03, 2016, 10:47:06 am
my fog wash sensor keeps kicking in and its very annoying tbh.
its well vented just keeps kicking in and shutting off.
any ideas on how to bypass it. sure there was someone on here who knew how to do it.

that's a big NO NO  I asked my pal to do it he is a boiler engineer he refused  me point blank said that's asking for trouble  if gas builds up etc  you have had it and any body around  be warned.

In the fogwash its actually an overheat sensor, not a gas sensor,.. and its the only model i've ever seen fitted with one on the exhaust. Disabling it isn't dangerous in this instance, but other boilers may be different, so its understandable that your mate takes this stance.
