Sapphira as a last resort when everything else failed try replacing the alarm in case it either didn't last 10 years according to the manufacture, or it failed before its time. I am a electronic technologist and I know for a fact that not all electronics from China, or Mexico is perfect. In other words there is a such thing as component failure due to design flaw ,or a defective component . My dog doesn't like the chirp either or when I test them she gets excited and scared too.

I have the same Firex Kidde smoke alarms in my home just like the video. Did everything mentioned in this video and so far after an hour, it's been quiet. I reset the button for about 45-60 seconds, and used compressed air to blow out all the dust. Got a brand new 9v battery, and so far all good. Also, changed out 4 alarms with new batteries and did the same for all of them. Still gotta get the 4 down stairs which will be taken care of in the morning. I followed one of the comments on here as to change out all the batteries to new ones if they were the Firex Kidde alarms since they were also linked to my home alarm system. Great advise by member " packsplace ". Thanks everyone. SUBSCRIBED !! ~ Roger

Yep, I have 2 Kidde Firex Smoke Alarms (110VAC) from 2015. I believe all of these manufacturers tell owners to keep them cleaned. These 2 are ultra sensitive it seems. After a period of time, they will begin to alarm for no reason and they are kept in low dust environments. I had already discovered blowing them out with compressed air solved the problem, so your video is great info.

I've tried everything you said in the video, and my upstairs one sounded just like yours and reset itself, and the blinking light turned green. But the downstairs one is still blinking red, and it didn't make the dying sound when I pushed the button to reset it. I'm sorry to sound stupid, but I'm very unhandy with house issues, although I'm trying to learn! Does this mean the downstairs smoke detector is defective or needs to be replaced? I bought them both new when I purchased the house in 2014, so they're only about a year and a half old. Thanks!

My crazy hard wired BRK smoke alarm continues chirping even when it is disconnected from the plug. The chirps are not coming from the the device itself....they are coming from the hole in the ceiling where the plug hangs down. Yes...that is right...and there is nothing in the attic that is chirping. I have 2 other similar smoke detectors....they are close to the chirper - small house - and they are quiet. I have turned off the circuit. I am hoping I can get some sleep. Why do things like this happen in the night when you can't call someone to help????? I will call an electrician tomorrow. All my smoke alarms are on the same circuit, but they do have battery backup. I did put a new battery in the chirper which I have disconnected but left on a tall bookcase near its original location. So I feel confident that I am ok for tonight. Why would the "hole with wires hanging" chirp????
