Defective Propane Detector Can be a Dangerous Saftey Hazzard
For no apparent reason our propane detector has been alarming every now and then...(shuts off the supply)
We always have a burner on low most the morning keeping the coffee pot hot.
Yesterday morning while outside, the alarm sounded, so I just reached in the door (no sign of propane smell) and reset the detector, and continued to sit outside for an hour.
When I reset the detector, I gave no thought of that burner being on,
so guess what,.... when I opened the door, strong smell of raw propane hits me,.....that the detector (defective I'd guess) did not detect. I'm so glad that there was no open flame inside, or perish the thought of what could have happened.
Point of the story (reread the subject) if you have even the slightest suspicion that the detector is defective, replace it sooner rather than later !!
