Smoke Detector from Hell

[Rick Hurst]

I have a smoke detector that is giving me grief.

The friggin thing chirps every night between 12-1am almost daily. Scares the poor Yorkie too death.

It is hard wired and has a battery back-up. I've replaced the batteries a few times with new batteries from different locations.

Anyone have a clue?

Might try cleaning it.

Next to an air supply vent ?

AC kicks in stirs the dust BEEP, BEEP. :)

Last year I called the Kidde factory for a similar issue: random chirps, false alrams etc.

They sent a new replacement model, hard-wired unit with battery backup, no questions asked, and the problem was solved.

Yorkie a secret smoker?

Hammer, works every time!

Replace it and the batteries in the rest of the system (assuming it is interconnected) and be done with it. Cost of repairs? $20
Price of a good nights sleep? Priceless.:)

If the Yorkie is still alive, then it is not working. Try another smoke detector. :)

Could it be due to age (the detectors)? As a rule the sensors last about ten years. I do not know if it causes your problem (with the detector).

End your grief. Replace the damn thing.

[Rick Hurst]

Its not even 3 yrs. old.

I'm one of those you has to investigate why it is defective before going out to buy another one.

End your grief. Replace the damn thing.

I totally agree! A real dog isn't that expensive. You might even find a good one at the pound. My "son" Dudley, for instance...
