So glad I found & watched this video, my smoke alarms just lost their brains & are going off in the wee hours of the morning😴😖. This video will come in handy replacing these bad units.

[@21bmurphy]

Thank you so much! Much better instruction than the ones provided in the box!

[@sivvitytech3118]

What model is this? Because I have some Alarms and they’re hardwired but I just use the battery. Do you know if they do make a battery version of this? Because I would love one of that model.

[@SleepyPie]

Thanks for the helpful video! My house's First Alert 7010B and SC7010BV's were installed when the house was built in 2011, so we just bought a whole bunch of new 7010B and SC7010BV models and are just waiting for the 5 chirps to replace them!

The most annoying part is when it wakes up not only you, but you neighbors and your neighbors’ neighbors . So embarrassing 🙈

[@Mini-rt8bm]

[@MNSUPERQT]

[@ATSNorthernMI]

If you have some smart speakers like alexa, it will notify the fire department and you can be getting a call from a family member or neighbor while you're at dinner with your family that your house is on fire to find out the alarm is just going off randomly.

[@minnesotaoutdoorwarningsirens]

I’m moving to a new house that has old smoke alarms and spots with no smoke alarms at all, it will be fun to install, my grandpa also recently bought a new house and I get to replace the smoke alarms there as they are more than 10 years old

[@choochtech]

all mine going crazy and I have outdoor alarm and strobe. Caused an absolute scene, all my alarms from 2007. I do not understand why you just cant press OFF somewhere

[@mattdude]

I like that you turned off a 240 volt breaker for your example as opposed to the actual breaker that the smoke detector is on.

[@mewing-gawd]

Nah his house is just different his smoke alarms need 40 amps and 240v

[@J19_vlogger74]

I had a kidde dual technology smoke detector and it was nothing but trouble. It would go off randomly even when there was literally nothing wrong. It was like it was complaining about simply existing. My advice isn't to avoid double detection, but to buy both types separately.

[@dave23024]

True. I just got a brand new one installed and the POS is going off less than six hours after the install. Total junk.

[@Reaktron88]

@@dave23024The dual detection are actually way to easy to set off, because there is no way to avoid setting it off, so there is basically nowhere in the house where that works. Replace immediately if you have them

All my KIDDE, smoke alarms in the middle of the night power outage occurred, and then tried replacing the battery, and then tried resetting it testing it, and tried cleaning it. But it kept on going off and this video really helped and replaced it with simplisafe

[@anyakuferberg]

Same here. Kiddie are so sensitive it seems. Are Simplisafe giving you the same problem or are they working fine?

[@kerendeleon9526]

I hate fire alarms thx for the help

Great video, how do i know which alarm to replace ? I’ve got 3. Do i need to change them all, i think they came with the house. More than 10 yrs. old. Thanks

[@htimsid]

The quick fix is a baseball-bat.

[@zacscannell7635]

Look seems I’m gonna ask the same question I’ve seen a few times but see no reply to there’s . I am renting I recently changed out all the batteries and now they randomly keep going , matter of fact it was 5 am that it just went off and some how I am here . The question I suppose I am asking is am I to replace all of them?

[@TheBradleyBliss]

Who ever created these things is a monster.

[@WilliamBeadle-tp9lf]

You should know that white and black wires power the smoke alarm and red just activates the other smoke alarms

[@YoungKim-nv4xr]

Thank you

[@KainenK7]

EAZY FIX! Fuckin disassembles the entire thing and starts doing electrician work on live wires

[@michaelgibney3772]

You always remove the wire from the power connection first ! Did you confirm that the new detector is compatible with the other detectors in the system ?

[@ahappyteddybear8328]

The savior we all needed 🙌

[@ivanmrzena7917]

Did you replace all the kidde smoke alarms with the first alert smoke alarm

[@DeeBlogs]

Do you know why it would go off even after replacing the whole system and using new batteries. It originally chirped even after battery change. When it continued, I changed the whole system. Now it is going off (blaring like there is a fire) at random like once or twice a week.

[@alberterickson4614]

Thanks for posting!! I'll know what to do for this useful information 🤘

[@peteduncan921]

A not especially helpful video with a misleading title. I've had several smoke alarms over the years that will give random false alarms, and none of them were more than 4 or 5 years old at the time. Simply replacing the device with a new one may solve the problem, but it is not the same thing as "fixing" the alarm.

[@Alarmo05221]

We had a Ademco 5808 LST Wireless Smoke / Heat detector that would go off in the fire alert tone every spring 3 years.

[@cdsirensnj]

Hey, s.e.r I was just wondering which one do you prefer kiddie or first alert? I don’t know what one to install in my house I know everything about ionization and photoelectric. But my parents don’t and they refused to listen to the information please can you tell me which company is better so that way I can at least steer them in the right direction. Also which one do you think is better as a standalone unit ionization or photoelectric? Sincerely, Willliam Ps I am very Young so my parents don’t exactly listen to me.

[@gentexguy]

The brand doesn't really matter too much, they both have to meet the same standards. Whatever smoke alarm you get, just make sure it's a reputable brand. Don't get some generic smoke alarm you find on eBay just because it's cheap, they likely do not meet the standards that the "big name" smoke alarms do. In terms of whether ionization or photoelectric is better, it really is best to have at least one of each type in your home. If you can only go with one, I'd install photoelectric alarms since they are much better at reducing false alarms and have a significant advantage over ionization alarms when it comes to smoldering fires.

[@cdsirensnj]

@@gentexguy Thank you so much.

[@mattymcnally]

If I turn the breaker off my alarm sounds I once also had some temporary traffic lights outside the house and the whole time they were there every time the lights changed it set me alarm off where the 2 in house send signals to each other and the damnd things were picking up the signal the light were useing apart from sneaking out and disconnecting the temporary lights on the street I was unable to find a propper fix. The alarms have started to sound again and this time theres no roadworks out front what could it be this time

[@brentphillips262]

Seriously!? You titled the video easy fix!? That's not fixing them. That's replacing them. You owe me 5 minutes of my life for this click bait crap.

[@kateshved_892]

Me watching this at 2 am 😅

[@DianaAnderson]

Me too because that’s the time our alarm just went off three times 😩

[@RJARRRPCGP]

For the expiration, we keep being told that it would just keep chirping and not sound like an actual fire report. (in the manual, when 10 years is up for the "usual-consumer-grade-smoke-alarms") BTW, I experienced a problem with a couple, including even a more recent First Alert one that didn't even sound likely to be "expired", randomly giving alarm indicating smoke and then it stopped by itself. I actually wonder if this can indicate a wiring problem. The first incident, in 2016, was with with a later-looking Kidde in a house that was known to have a bad neutral. It wasn't expired, TMK. The second incident, was with the First Alert/BRK with voice and lower tone model, downstairs on the northeast-side and it hasn't done that for months now, IIRC.

[@Newman13F]

Mine are going off randomly. I bought all new ones and those also went off within 20 minutes of replacing them.

[@DanburyDK]

My house has same type of smoke alarms. It might be time to replace them. Can a pull station be wired into this type of system to cause the smoke alarms to sound?

[@FireAlert]

No

[@gentexguy]

You can if you use a relay module like the Kidde SM120X. Here's the datasheet for it, I believe figure 2 is what would accomplish what you're asking: www.shareddocs.com/hvac/docs/2001/Public/0A/SM120X_UserGuide_EN.pdf

Sometimes I think the house is trying to tell me something. The spirit of the house or some thing here’s trying to protect the house. I know it is actually I just realized a few times I left the candle on and got up in the middle of the night at about three in the morning and went straight down to the mantle where the candle holder is and there it is still lit even though we thought we double checked all the candles that’s happened twice. The question is why did I get up and go straight to the candle 🕯

Mine started going off by just boiling a pot of pasta, then 6 times randomly last night, it’s a monoxide and smoke alarm by Kidde, I changed the backup battery and it continues, my dad didn’t know what to do either so I called the fire department just in case it was monoxide, I feel bad that I called them at 4am, they tested for gas but they said it looked fine and that the smoke alarm is just old, it’s a 2016 and now it’s 2023 , im so pissed! i kept waking up scared to death running to the smoke alarm to hush it only for it to go off again 😒 wish i had seen the comments about the duel detecters sooner, and if i knew i could have just ripped it off the wall

[@planesofhawaii]

What if its a sealed battery and not hardwired?

[@BASHEM72]

Have fire alarms randomly going of through the house at night usually. So I think there about 8 years old. I think it time to replace them.

[@emman2418]

I appreciate this however it is midnight, I do not have a new smoke detector, I have COVID and can't go anywhere and I need to SLEEP

I would attempt to assume that they would go off for as long as possible until someone clicked hush. I assume that because that happened to me but not with Covid. New fear unlocked!

[@passionateherbs8183]

Alarm in new mobile home keeps randomly going off in only one room every few weeks. I've put in a new battery, cleaned it, unplugged it, reset it... I have done this 3 times in the last 5 weeks or so and it keeps happening. At this point I can only guess that this one smoke alarm is faulty and needs to be replaced. Oh the other thing is it will beep every minute for like 15-30 minutes after I've gone through all these steps and then stop beeping... but who knows when it will wake me up again!!!!!!!

After reading one of the comments a lightbulb went off. There was a carbon monoxide plug-in down under a windowsill that I found. I unplugged it and took the battery out and it stopped! For those of us who don't have good directional hearing, it can drive you absolutely insane. I had forgotten that thing was even there. Been there since we discovered a gas leak about a year ago.
