LP alarm goes off periodically

Even though I have the LP turned off and I'm almost certain that I don't have an LP leak the alarm goes off periodically and then shuts itself off. The battery is fully charged and only 1 year old. Has anyone else experienced this problem. Can the LP alarm be changed out easily? By the way, I have the original 1997 Safari, but no one posts there!

LP Alarm goes off

I had the same problem on my 05 Safari. All of a sudden in the middle of the night the alarm went off.

Have you tried resetting it?

Hold down the button on the face for about 10 seconds. If the button does not depress, then unscrew the plate and it should be on the back.

I've not had any problems since then.

similar problem

Hello,

I had a similar problem a couple of months ago. The alarm went off for no apparent reason and would not shut off even after pushing the reset button. Our AS was a month old when it occured and the only way to shut it off was to disconnect the hard wire going into the unit. I reconnected the wire and have not had a problem since. Like you, no gas was on and no leaks were present. I have no clue?

Just curious, is this an LP dector that you added? My '01 Safari only came with a smoke detector.

Although I bought the trailer in 1999, I am sure it was factory installed. It is located just inside on the right hand side of the doorway about 8 inches up from the floor.

Mine used to do the same thing. Now I think it's broken. It's stuck on red, nothing happens when I hit the test button, and even though it's on "alarm" there's no sound.
