Westinghouse Generator Yellow Light Failure CO Sensor

[@hambros7951]

Taped mine off, now its working! I have two carbon monoxide sensors in the garage, doors open, fan on. Two fridges and one freezer packed to the hilt, thanks for the tip!

[@Man-Time]

Glad it worked after the tape job!

I have been having the exact same problems with my Westinghouse 9500dfc. I have had some success with customer service, but we are into the 3 rd week of back and forth and they are sending a new co sensor. I hope that works David

[@Man-Time]

Best of luck Man! at least there is customer service vs some off brand Amazon special

[@57haldir]

The tape didn’t work the first time. Why do you think it will now work in the second generator? Must you put the tape on before it ever gets tripped/fouled?

[@Man-Time]

Right that’s my theory. I didn’t have tape on it when it fouled

[@philliphall5198]

Folks put a 20 inch box fan blowing on it , keeping it cool and blowing away the exhaust 😊😊😊😊 It works 😮

Have to dumb everything down for today’s society.

[@philliphall5198]

People are really dumb now 😢😢😢

[@condor5635]

Another dumb requirement for a safety feature to protect the people who don’t know where generators should be run. Then when these features fail you have to deal with it unfortunately.

[@Man-Time]

Yeah I was tempted to bypass the sensor. Hopefully taping over it will work. I think once it’s fouled it stays fowled

[@condor5635]

@@Man-Time is it just a matter of connecting the two wires (assuming there are 2 which may be incorrect) or is disabling it more involved? I would prefer just removing it for I would never operate that generator anywhere that I would care about CO

[@Man-Time]

@condor5635 lol. It was a 6 wire plug with a schematic in Chinese to pin out. A test for even the most skilled electrician. Tried to unplug and run with same result. Agreed that I don’t need or want it.

[@condor5635]

@@Man-Time - just taping it or enclosing it in a Ziploc bag or something would probably be just as effective!

Id rather they wash the poison pesticides off our fruit and leave the carbon menoxide to us.

[@philliphall5198]

Good thing you didn’t need it in the 3 months of hell😢
