LP/Carbon Monoxide Detector

Hi, We have a 2012 Mini Lite 1809S and have run into this several different times now and just wondering if anyone else has had this problem.

My LP gas detector is going off when I don't even have the propane turned on. The first time I was running the propane to run the fridge because it was blowing the fuse having the AC and Fridge running on electric. The second time my boyfriend was camping and had been using the propane to cook on at night but it wasn't on when the detector went off and this most recent time I didn't have the propane on at all, just the day before to make sure there was still some in the tanks just in case, but it had been turned right back off and this was at least 24 hours later the alarm went off. The last time I had the water heater on (using electric) and I went out and turned the WH off and after a few minutes the alarm went off? Not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Anyone have the same issue?

Just sent mine back to the company for same reason. It would go off even if I had propane tured off.

thats my next step is to call the dealership. Only bad this is that the dealership is 5 hours away. Is that something that is covered under warranty to you know?

I sent mine to the people that make it. The phone number on the back of unit.

Mine has gone off for no reason at least 5 times this year. I just hit the reset and it is fine. The dealer warned that they are VERY sensitive, and can go off for just about anything, not just Propane/Carbon Monoxide.

Mine started out that way. Then even after resetting it would just go off again.

Carbon monoxide alarm went off on Saturday. We figured it was because DH was burning a "cheater" log (Duraflame log) in the fire pit. It had a very strong odor of wax. So he took that one out and put a real log in its place. Also went off yesterday when he installed a piece of formica on the side of the cabinet next to the stove. This time we figured it was because of the glue he was using. Those are the first times it has ever gone off.
