Mounted next to the regulator on the main tank. It's the one with the wires on it.

When you turn on the LP shutdown, it will beep for about 5 seconds slowly getting a little faster. Once calibrated it will stop and you can easily hear the valve solenoind bang open.

There is nothing at the stove, and youve held a lighter there to check for air movement? It takes about 60 sec to purge enough air to light the burner.

While your sensor (as you describe) may e sensing and "releasing" correctly, the solenoid may not be opening the gas valve - solenoid or wiring problem. Try turning the sensor on and off (allowing time to reset) and having someone listen to the solenoid at the tank. The sensors are known to have a life of aout ten years, but yours sounds to e working correctly.

Our 97 Southwind had a CO unit made by CCI that went bad. No power to solenoid shut off valve at propane tank. CCI is no longer in business. Replacement unit from Safe T Alert did not function correctly. Removed solenoid and bought a stand alone CO unit. Ignore this if you have propane to frig and furnace. Good luck.

If you can't hear propane coming out of the burners, then there is no propane in the lines. Another very simple thing to do prior to ripping things apart is to shut off the propane at the tanks, wait about 15 minutes, then very slowly open the valve (make sure the stove burners are off.) Some tanks will have a shutoff valve in them that will get tripped if you open them up too fast.

X2 Once and awhile I have seen a few with a CO dector that has a 9volt battery and if the battery is dead it shuts off the propane. it is hooked where the thermo couple goes on the ones I have seen. The thread are the same size so it can be removed but be safe and get a stand alone CO detector.
