Propane tanks are off, propane bled off at stove, everything off, propane still beeps. Hit reset and beeps continues. Any suggestions?

End of life? Propane detectors have a life of 5 years....

Way to soon for that? When was the last time you vacuumed the face plate? Dog farting next to it?

Mine was continuing to go off because of stinky athletic shoes next to it. True story!

The Atwood in my trailer only lasted three years before going bananas. Vacuumed, dusted, etc. - still wanted to go off in the middle of the night or when we left the trailer.

Said enuf is enuf and replaced it with a MTI. Peaceful quiet! There's probably a reason that the Atwood is no longer made.

To the OP: a MTI is about $60 and two wires to connect. Do yourself a favor and trash that Atwood.
