The first thing you will want to do is try resetting the detector. This can be done by holding the test button. If the Red alarm light is still on after a reset, and there are no gas leaks, it is going to be time to replace the detector. They generally last around 7 years so it is not uncommon for them to go bad. Our best option for replacing the ProTECHtor LP Gas Detector is the RV Propane Gas and Carbon Monoxide Detector part # RS54FR. This will be a nice upgrade as it can detect Carbon Monoxide and Propane Gas.
