Kidde Home Security - Answered Questions & Fixed Issues

Question edited for clarity. Please don't type in all CAPS, it is considered SHOUTING and is harder to read.Question moved from Washing Machines Category.Is it hard wired or battery powered? Replace batteries. Remove the cover and vacuum it with the circular vacuum brush.If it is older than 10 years it needs replacing. If it is a Kidde, there is a hard wired electronic timer in it that beeps at 10 years and doesn't stop. It is written in tiny writing on the back. I found that out the hard way. :>)There is also the possibility that there is a constant Co2 source from something, heater, furnace, stove etc.https://www.google.com/search?q=why+does+my+co2+alarm+keep+beepingAlso, Carbon Monoxide is CO, not Co2 (Carbon DiOxide). Unless you are in a beer cellar with Co2 dispense by a gas bottle. I had one, I owned a pub...

It is time to replace it. From the instructions. IMPORTANT: Seven (7) years after the initial power up, this alarm will "beep" every 30 seconds to indicate that it is time to replace the alarm. Replace the alarm immediately! It will not detect CO in this condition. copy and paste. https://www.kidde.com/home-safety/en/us/support/help-center/browse-articles/articles/what_causes_consistent_chirping_.html

Detecotrs have a limited lifespan of 5-7 years. So sounds like you need new one (It's not worth to buy just a sensor). Take a look on amazon: Amazon com Carbon monoxide detector (watch out on reviews). I hope this was helpful. cheers

Time to replace it, it has entered the last of it's life and son will be inoperable.

refer to the instructions that came with unit. https://www.utcccs-cdn.com/hvac/docs/2001/Public/0C/User-Guide-C3010-C3010-D-Eng.pdf

Unless the number was displayed in alternation with 888, leave the house and call 911. You need to have someone to check your appliances for incomplete burning, leaks in their exhaust piping or a vehicle that is running inside or too close to an air intake. The 203 is the current carbon monoxide reading. The 888 indicates a self-test and other number is only shown for test purposes. Please stay safe. Cindy Wells

Three things about this: 1 It may be under recall depending on its age and if it is over 10 years old, replace it. 2. The unit has a radio active source and should not be tampered with. 3. The information that you are asking for is proprietary and not available.

How many times does it chirp

Try another hard whack. If that does not undo the initial damage, nada will and you have a nice paper weight.

Carbon monoxide detectors have a fixed life span. You did not post the model number and there is no way to tell how long it ago it or the parts in it, were made.

Carbon monoxide alarms have fixed lifespan. When they need replaced, they let you know.

Yes the battery can be replaced, you just need to know how to get at it. Google that.

the spring is the negative end of the battery(-) the flat section is the positive end (+)

if it is about a smoke alarm with a battery in it, when the alarm beeps for no apparent reason, it is a bult in indicator that the battery is flat or approaching a low voltage and needs replacing If it still beeps after replacing the battery have it checked out as a fire alarm is critical for your safety

certainly will -- same as low battery will set of the smoke alarm

Dale, My alarms beep like that to warn me of batteries needing replaced. What I do is hit the test button and ensure it sounds. I would still replace the battery(ies) and retest when you do.
