How To Stop and Fix New Smoke Alarm From Chirping or Beeping

UPDATE: Ignore last part of video about resetting with power hooked up. Once the battery is built up with tape and its enough for good contact, install battery and *make sure door is closed properly*. In my case the door wasn't closed right and I had to press quite hard to get it to click into place correctly. Probably got damaged because I had opened and closed it so many times that day. You'll know door is closed right if you have unit in your hands with battery installed and red light blinks every 40 seconds or so but WITHOUT the chirp. Then you can connect main power and install. (its criminal the kind of crap manufacturers get away with these days)
How to modify battery so it makes good contact inside the alarm. This of course added to making sure battery is good, alarm is clean (best to blow out with compressed air), and reset procedures have been done.

Thanks, this is exactly the problem that I was having. It seems the new battery was just a bit shorter than the original battery and so it wasn't making a good connection. I added 4 layers of black electrical tape to the end of the battery and now it is finally working. I appreciate you posting this helpful video!

Video is missing how to push on the wedge to remove battery, when youre trying to remove the battery from the ceiling, the wedge makes it impossible to remove battery.

[@Inseinos]

Mine just pushes down until you here the click and then it opens. To close, push again until clicks and it locks.

Did you ever figure it out? I've tried several times to get the turn battery out but it won't budge

[@msstrawberry2440]

I can't get the battery out

[@brandyb8592]

This was my problem!! Thank you so much for posting this!!

[@conservativeamber1216]

I wanted to be your First Sub..Don't ask me why lol

[@msstrawberry2440]

You covered how to take battery out

[@jimmymapes3411]

What is this glossed over 20 second reset?

[@aziphoto]

Had the same thing Thanks.

[@conservativeamber1216]

How Do you REMOVE the blessed Chasein battery!!!!!!! That's all I want to know. I've never lived with a hatch/trap door smoke detector before and no one has bothered to show me how to remove the freaking thing. It's blinking red now instead of the steady green. No idea if that's a good or bad thing.

[@Inseinos]

To remove it from the celing you turn it counterclockwise a bit and it will come off its base. Reverse to put back on.

[@kairon156]

@@Inseinos I figured it out after. The battery is being healed in by a slanted wedge thing with a bit of plastic. I had to push down on before I could pull out the battery. The video did help me with the noise problem, and I thank you for that.

[@jessicaheidi6747]

Is it normal mine keeps blinking red light every 40 60 seconds or so but theres no noise and theres no other light only the red one is that normal mode?

[@Inseinos]

Mine blinks like that too. I think just means its operational.

🎉🇵🇷🌻✨🎉THANK GOD YOU KNOW 🙏🙏🙏🙏🪂🕊️🎆😁👌✌️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@cooltkll]

i just replaced the battery & it says low battery?

[@Inseinos]

Different beeps mean different things. Google your model number to find a manual that explains which combination of beeps means what. Possible the battery isn't touching the contact surface in the alarm?

[@rosemaryrogers1478]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣..what the hell?

[@cooltkll]

@@Inseinos thx....i took it down and put it back up about 1 month ago....no problem yet with it now

[@0llieoil961]

Your video did not start at the very beginning so I don't know how the alarm separates from ceiling. I don't want to break it figuring out.

[@Inseinos]

Most units will disengage when you turn them counterclockwise

[@rosemaryrogers1478]

I’ll break it if it means getting some sleep..I don’t care anymore

[@rosemaryrogers1478]

All I know is be careful of electrocution

[@rosemaryrogers1478]

No offense but why speaker nails dirty? He must have been really trying to shut it up

[@Inseinos]

It's my trademark.

The real problem is poor engineering. The the device needs to be reset frequently and sensor cleaned often, even when not exposed to smoke. Best to find and install an old model as it seems all the new ones seem to be designed with planned obsolescence.

[@northstarstatepolitics1652]

The old models just went off when you cooked if you installed them in the kitchen. The new ones go off when it's too humid outside.........
