Fridges do use a hydrofluorocarbon to keep them cool, if your fridge leaked it is possible that your CO alarm detected this.

Sorry, your question is?

I would take it down, take the battery out, and hold the test button down for at least 20 seconds, then put the battery back and plug it back in again. You could also run a vacuum cleaner round it (To remove any internal dust build up) If this does not solve the issue then I can only suggest you buy a new smoke alarm (Another deta would make it easier to change and be compatible with your other one.) As for "someone coming out to look" it would cost you more than a new alarm and there are no serviceable parts.

If you have turned off the mains, taken the battery out, your device is no longer powered so it can not make any noise. I can only suggest you check the area for something else that is making a noise. I have been called to situations such as you describe, only to find a device with a low battery on top of a cupboard.

I can only suggest you take it down, remove the battery, hold the test button in for 20 seconds, then reverse the process. I would also ask, how old is your deta 1153 ? as they are obsolete and it maybe near the end of its life.

Take the detector down (You will have to turn the mains off first) Take the battery out Press and hold the test button for 20 seconds Put the detector back (Switch the mains back on) Put the battery back in (Or a new battery if the previous battery is close to being 12 months old) If that still does not work, you have no choice, you will have to replace the detector.

Most smoke detector manufacturers recommend the detectors be changed every 10 years.

Has it activated since? Oh, and not wishing to be pedantic, but CO2 (Carbon dioxide) is what makes fizzy drinks fizzy. (CO) Carbon monoxide is given off by unburnt fossil fuels.

If it is for yourself, it would be up to you to decide do you want to buy new cushions for it, if you are selling it, you could sell it without cushions. The cane furniture itself does not need a fire label, only upholstered furniture made after 1950 requires a label

As your current smoke alarms are 8 years old (Life expectancy is 10 years) I would suggest you change all 3 smoke alarms as well as buying a heat alarm (All must be the same brand) Safelincs do supply smoke and heat alarms Click here

I was waiting "a few days" just to make sure. Debbie asked the question 7 months ago, she only made the two posts and has never been back since. I can only suggest you contact your local trading standards office to see if they can help.

As you know the 1111 is obsolete and you will have to buy a new smoke alarm, mains smoke alarms come with suitable base, so yes, you will have to change it, if you have any other Deta smoke alarms, it would be wise to change those too, and get all of the same brand. Safelincs supply a variety of mains smoke alarms Click here

You should press and hold the test/silence button for 4 seconds, it should then "chirp" 4 times and the red LED should flash for upto 30 seconds, after this it will revert back to normal. If you have just purchased it and it does not do as suggested, take it back from where you got it.

It sounds like wind is blowing carbon monoxide back down the chimney. Did your chimney have a cowel?

SantaCruzDad, Your replacement detector comes with a new base as it is intended that you change that too. It is unlikely the poster above you will reply as they only made the one post back in 2020

Which model do you have and what is flashing? (The detector or the RF module)

What do you mean by od? what did it do? what make and model is it? how old is it?

Ask the technician to check for carbon monoxide for you.

Scotland has a law that states "Every home in Scotland must have interlinked fire alarms by February 2022" For further information check out the Scottish Parliament website page for fire safety Click Here Safelincs can supply a range of smoke alarms that comply to this. Click Here

FYI: Fire extinguishers in Europe are divided into different categories depending on what type of fire they are designed to extinguish. Each category is assigned a letter, more information can be found on the safelincs page if you Click here

Interlinked means they are linked together, either by a cable or radio (Cable ones are cheaper) When one activates, they all sound. Example: Fire in kitchen, smoke alarm makes noise, but so does smoke alarm in bedroom

Timber fires are classified as class A, Carbon dioxide is not suitable for class A fires. I would suggest having interlinked smoke alarms to warn you well before the timber catches fire. If you feel the need you could buy a fire extinguisher, but do learn how to use it before you need to use it.

Yes. Do make a note for this time next year to change the batteries in all your alarms that require batteries.

It would appear to be highly probable that the Carbon Monoxide detector activated due to the use of paint stripper. Once the property is well ventilated and the alarm is silent there is no more that can be done, but DO test the alarm by pressing its test button. As an aside, CO2 is carbon dioxide, it is what gives "pop" its fizz CO is carbon monoxide and is lethal.
