Hello The handyman Journey. I have a wired Kidde smoke detector and i'm having an issue. The voice from the detector keeps saying "error see troubleshooting guide" while showing a red or orange light turning off and on. My question is, how do i make it stop ?

Why didn’t KZread recommend this 3 weeks ago when I had the problem at 3 am. Not only will it chiro when past the 10 year point and is going bad, but with WSI, the instructions don’t mention that the it also chirps every minute when battery needs to be replaced. Thanks for posting this

Hey Allen. Nice WLOG you got here, I've been watching your WLOG for some time now and i got a question for you, how do you manage the wear and tear of tools? You included in the hourly rate or you invoice it separately? Just started my handyman business one month ago (in Europe) and i already have to raise my rates. Just finished a job installing 150 ft of satellite cable along a concrete wall yesterday and i completely worn out an 1/4 SDS Plus drill bit.

Hey thanks for your question!! Congratulations on the new business! Yes, when a job requires a whole tool I definitely charge it on the invoice. So in this case I would charge on the invoice the price of a new SDS drill bit

I am convinced that the majority of people that make KZread videos about the smoke detectors and they’re crazy annoying chirping have no idea how to solve the problem when it’s a hardwired smoke detector. I’ve been looking for a very long time on KZread and without fail the only solutions or four battery powered smoke detectors. So annoyed. I pressed the reset button and all of my smoke detectors in my entire house started going off! Then I had to press the reset button again to get to the different things this stupid unit detects. After a super dramatic two minutes freaking freaking out my neighbors? My stupid hardwired smoke detector is still chirping every 30 seconds. My electrician and I bought these together at Home Depot and he installed all of these three weeks ago. No place to change out a 9 volt. Somebody got any ideas?

Sorry you are having issues, if your smoke detector is chirping constantly and you have replace the batteries or if it does not have batteries then it is time to have it replaced. I have had many smoke detectors chirp right out of the package and be defective, so I would recommend that you take that one smoke detector back to the store and get a new one and get it put up and I bet that will solve your problem!
This helps alot

Yeah mine was actually 20 years old and were also wired in and they didn’t turn off (they randomly went off) my mom grab all of them drove to a parking lot and threw them away
OK...I hooked up a new firex i4618ac in an existing system (old brand was dead)...all seemed fine but once I turned on the AC--it beeped and would not turn off until I unplugged the unit (the green light was on so I know I hooked it up right?)-- this is 2nd in line of a chain of 3 detectors-- I need help.
Thanks for showing me how to down this:)

My brand new kidde wired smoke ditector is chirping only in the morning.. disgusting.. its a brand new one installed in my brand new apartment.. when chirp the red led flash with it , any idea how to fix that..
So if I have a wired smoke detector today (it is wired and has a battery in it) can I just buy a battery powered one or do I need to get a wired one still ???? I always assumed it needs to be wired and have the battery cause that’s how I always knew it was to be since I bought my house
My own smoke det. start beeping weeks ago, but only in the night hours, what is weird...it expires Jul23-2022 so it start couple months before. Can you explain why only at night and no along the rest of the day hours ?

Mt suspicion would be that maybe the tabs did not get removed to activate the battery or the batteries for some reason are not making good contact, they beep when the batteries die or are not working
The smoke detector that’s beeping is above the stairs where it’s very difficult to reach. So convenient
@ingenide

every one of my smoke detectors happen to go off randomly at night every few months. so I hear beeping from in my room, and then the rooms down the hallway I hear them from, but with a slight delay. I assume it’s only a battery issue, but it’s still super inconvenient that all of them go off like that. Worst part is that this happens at night, and sometimes the one I need to change is up above the stairs as well where I need to get a ladder to change it

According to the US Fire Administration website, we have lost 1,029 people in the United States due to fire in their homes so far this year. In each and every case there were smoke alarms in the home that were not working. Test your alarms monthly, replace the batteries annually, and replace the alarm when they are over 10 years old! Follow my Facebook page at "PCFD Fire Safety Education" for more information.

Quick correction, I'm sure you just misspoke. If your smoke detectors are wired and interconnected then they will all have 3 wires, you said the last one would only have 2, but it still has to send a signal to the others if it goes off. If they are wired but not interconnected then there will only be 2 wires each.
