Stupid smoke detector chirps even with a new battery

@BigbangFACTS Every 30 seconds 😡

@Virgo79 I think I can imagine.....I have a mother in law.

@SweetMae and she can't hold a candle to her mom😬
I stay clear of that one😡

@Virgo79 Good idea!! 😉

@ms20182878 or blow it out with compressed air. I used to do commercial building maintenance and thats how we cleaned them. You can even spray with contact cleaner let dry and then compressed air. Make sure it's unplugged if you. Use contact cleaner.

@goodlil666 Do I have to take it apart, or can I just blow the air in the vent?

@SW-User I would try it first without disassembling it.

@ThatGuyYouKnew They don't even last as long as the battery, this one lasted less than 18 months.

@abe182 I discharged the capacitor, reset everything, put the battery in and reconnected it to the power, and it stopped for 2 hours or so and then started chirping again.

@SW-User lol!!
Then chuck it.

@Spumoni I tried that 🥺

At the circuit breaker?

@PhoenixPhail wish I'd known that, I just spent 30 bucks on a new one 😟

@SW-User Oh no. Is it too late to take it back?

@PhoenixPhail we already installed it, so I think it is

@goodlil666 I'll get another battery to try

@Randy777 steal as much as you want, there's more where that came from.

@SeymourWeiner

@SW-User Make warm what

@InvaderNice make warm house

@SW-User 😂

@tiggerandariel13 I did ours a couple of months ago, but it didn't cause any problems.

@lizzy96 got one, just have to install it, the stupid mounting ring isn't the same of course 🙄

@ballandchain That used to happen to me all the time when I was living in a high-rise apartment, there was always someone setting their kitchen on fire and forcing the whole building to evacuate in the middle of winter.

@Nomorecupcakesplz that'll do it lol

@Virgo79 I'll get around to it eventually

@SW-User not telling you what to do but that's pretty important to have.

@MarkPaul um, I do think of that kind of thing you know
