LP Detector Exhibiting Flakey Behavior. Any ideas?

[mbulriss]

Liz,

My first response is, as Jack's is, that the sensor might be going
bad. I'd see if it can be cleaned or blown out also.

My second response is to ask if you have any pets. Our Rottweiler
used to set ours off, whenever she had something 'gaseous' to eat. 8^)
