Seeing the thread on the propane leak reminded me about this.
We were having false alarms from our Propane leak detector over the past 2 years. Sometimes we would attribute it to the dogs laying against it. It would quit when they got up. Maybe not a false alarm! ha But other times there was no reason. No propane leak, no hairspray, bug spray, cooking etc.
But it started going off this season with more frequency, and in Oct made strange sqealing sound and was hard to get it to stop. Wasn't the normal alarm sound. When I pulled it out, I noticed the date of manufacture was Sept 2000!! Our MS was built in the spring of 05! So this detector was almost 5 years old when installed!
One call to DT and an e-mailed picture and they sent us a new one. Made in 08!
So if your having any issues with yours, check the date of mfg!
