DIYer, not in the trades
The Honeywell gas valve locked out on me with the error sequence of 7 flashes. That might have been Tuesday that this happened, based on the water being lukewarm all day Wednesday. On Tuesday, the wife had sprayed her boots with waterproofing. She did it outside since it stinks to high Heaven and warns of flammable vapors but then she immediately brought the boots in and set them down near the water heater.
On Wednesday when I got home from work, I Googled for the error 7 code and the results say it is a Flammable Vapor Sensor detection or fault. I reset the valve by turning the temp dial up and down quickly. I assumed the boots might have tripped the sensor. She has since taken the boots away, but on Friday when I got home from work, it was again tripped and I reset it a second time. That was yesterday and so far today it is fine.
Does the sensor fully recover from the event or does it permanently affect it?
