Thanks, Charlie.  You just saved me a bunch of trying to fix an unfixable!  New Kidde coming up!]]> Sat, 13 Jul 2013 18:24:14 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3732&PID=35606#35606 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3732&PID=35604#35604 Author: CharlieM

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.

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?
