Co2 Dectector February 12, 2008, 10:58:29 pm Yahoo Message Number: 89387Help! Over the last week our Costar carbon monoxide detector has been going off at odd times; I'm not talking "chirping." We have a almost 1 year old 26.5 MB...detector situated over door. WFP has changed the battery (and used the recommended Duracell). The door has either been open or closed, windows open or closed. Not using catalytic heater...use gas stovetop burners.Tonight we walked in after having been away for 4 hours to a full detector alarm (gods know for how long); LD locked up tight, left A/C on 73/auto, no stovetop cooking for a couple of days.Any clues? Rather not wake up dead...TinaP 2006 MB "Wild Thing" Sitting Under Tornado Warning w/ Weird Co2 Detector

You might want to contact the manufacturer: http://www.qginc.com/cserv.htmlIf you discover the cause of the alarm, please post what you find out; thanks.Joan
