 Topic: "Chirping" CO AlarmPosted: 13 Jul 2013 at 5:51pm |

Our carbon monoxide alarm started "chirping"- a sign (usually) of either a weak
battery, or a need for maintenance. According to the documentation, the only maintenance required is a periodic vacuuming. I did that, and replaced the battery for good measure. It was OK for a week or so, but has now started chirping again. Anybody have a similar problem?

Bob,
Mine did the same thing. If you search the reviews for the OEM unit on Amazon you'll see it is a common failure mode. The only cure is the trash can. I replaced mine with a Kidde combo fire and CO alarm. Mounted it in the same spot. It talks too.  |
