Thanks! Was having trouble falling asleep, finally do and then the f-in thing starts beeping with amber light. (This is After I ran around house trying to figure out where coming from.) An hour later found your video as mine wouldn’t switch tether. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used a screwdriver and tore the whole back off the unit! Total frustration with this unit!!!This is not user friendly!!!!! Kidde needs to improve this carbon monoxide alarm!!!

Mine (same model I think) went off in the middle of the night and showed various lights, including, sometimes, but not always, a fault warning! Eventually, (mostly through prayer!) it stopped beeping for a few days but then beeped intermittently. As it was a sealed unit, I was driven to wondering how to deal with it. Driving over it followed by garden burial or burial at sea via the toilet system seemed an option but eventually I took a pair of strong scissors to it an eventually opened it and removed the battery or batteries (similar looking objects!)while it continued to beep until it gave up at last (I hope!) and stayed silent. Clearly there needs to be a simpler method of dealing with rogue detectors so the whole of the town is not disturbed by the death beep of the beast!

I have one of those hammers that has screwdrivers nested in the handle. Plan A was the screwdrivers, Plan B was the hammer. No need for Plan B now, thanks!

Thank you so much for posting this video. My detector stopped working at 2 am. 😅 Removing the cover was the hard part and had to do it exactly the same way you did it.

Many thanks! I, too, had to pop off the back in order to access that black lever thing. Simply pushed it UP - ironically, AWAY from the "OFF" printed at the bottom of that black plastic lever section!

I had the same issue on 2 of these units. I called Kidde support. They had no clue about this problem and ended up telling me to throw them in a bucket of water to deactivate them. I did not do that. After watching your video, I was able to deactivate the CO alarms and remove the batteries. Thank you!!!

Thank you! Mine started chirping in the middle of the night and, since it was a digital model I could see the END message. I knew that it was old, so I had a replacement, but I could not disarm this one. The Kidde website was no help, and that chirp is annoying! Fortunately, I had the exact same switch issue that you showed here, and I was able to silence the chirp. 😊

After disassembling as you demonstrated I found that you CAN disable the detector by following the printed directions. The black switch is visible near the top of the slot and you have to push the screwdriver really hard against it, toward the top of the unit. The white plastic piece acts as a spring to prevent switching it off by mistake.

thanks for your help. ok...it was long winded - that's my only rub with your explanation. So we can all agree that you CANNOT replace the battery and that your only option is to buy a new unit. unless of course someone has circuitry knowledge to remove and replace the battery.

Look at the front button it test/reset so that means to test it's one long hold only if you hit it two times it stops the noise I did this to but that works

Thanks! This video is for when it’s time to throw the unit away and disable the battery.
