Case in point on the troubles -- the Propane/CO detector has been giving me fits. On 3 occasions (always about 2:30 AM) that thing has been going off indicating a propane gas detection. I shut the propane off just to be sure but it still kept alarming. It must have been detecting something because when I opened the door to let in fresh air it resets. Don't like to argue with my instruments but I have to believe there is something wrong with it. I couldn't stand it any longer so it came out last night. Anybody know how long the warranty is on these things?

I had this same exact thing happen two times in my suite.
The first time I had a heck of a time figuring out what was wrong. The first couple nights I thought the propane detector was bad then about the third night the Carbon Monoxide detector went off too.
Turns out, both times I had a bad battery.
The batteries must get a short in them and start boiling.
I would check the battery/s and see if one of them feels hot or very warm.
I never would have thought that the fumes could get from the vented battery compartment into the living area.
I hope this helps you....
