I was using my gas oven for the first time. My newly acquired mh is used, and the former owner said they didn't use the oven much. So I've got it cranked up and the LP alarm goes off. So I go and reset the alarm. A minute or 2 later the screeching goes off. Sounds like a new problem making that alarm not shut off when I reset it. Oh well, I'll deal with it when I get home. The kids are with me now, and dh is at home. I noticed it was kinda smokey and smelly, so I opened the ceiling vent, turned on the fan, and turned on the fan over the stove. Everything calmed down. 20 minutes later I checked the cookies and tater tots in the oven, and the oven isn't even on. It's too hot to stick my hand in and re-light it so I put the food into the toaster oven and life went on. So I drove home, about a 3 hour drive. We expected a light freeze that night so I plugged the mh into 110 so we could leave the furnace going.
2 weeks later dh & I took the mh out for an overnighter. I started having some of the same problems - the alarm that wouldn't go off. Then it got smokey. Yes, the oven was on and it was stinking.
Ta-da!!!!! The original alarm that I heard was not the LP sensor, it was the smoke alarm! After I cleared the smoke this time the alarm went off. After I finished with the oven I let it run a little longer. Now it burns clean and doesn't set off the smoke alarm. It must have been years since that oven was fired up!
