electric heater sensor question
Hi:

The sensor is dirty and being duped into sensing o2 or lp or hair spray
or,,or,,or... This is the lp sensor that is being read on the
panel. Open the center grill cover, the light grey/dark grey box on the
side is the sensor. Pull it out and blow the dust out of the round hole on
the front. Check to see if the sensor is still setting off an alarm and
repeat. There is also a variable potentiometer to set the sensitivity for
these sensors.

First though, be sure there is not an lp leak that caused the alarm.

Safe travels,
