Title: Dismantling Propane Alarm
Post by: Lorna Dunham on September 07, 2017, 10:45:15 pm
Quick!  Before I go batty (more batty)! 

Not dryer sheets, not heat, not perfume, not flatulence ... but something is setting my propane alarm to incessant beeping.  Although not quite 4 years old, it may be time for a replacement.  In the meantime...I've pulled the in-line fuse and the #8 in the box -- no joy.

What's the next step for disabling this thing?

Thanks for all ideas!

Could a propane leak be setting it off?  :o

Not likely...I think it's just old age rattling its sabers!

If your house battery charge is low the alarm will go off to let you know there was a power interruption.  For example mine would regularly go off when the fans kicked on very late at night, or when the electric step went down.  This happened to me when the original house batteries were near the end of their life.

You might try vacuuming it or blowing it out.  Could be dust setting it off.  It should last longer than 4 years.

Hmmm...John,  Although I haven't had that particular experience, I'll file it under "good to know, just in case."  Thanks -- now please see next message.  (Sure do appreciate you "answering" my call.)

Thanks for your suggestions -- now I'm going to keep a close eye on those dust bunnies!

Everyone go back to whatever you were doing an hour ago!
