Guest Liz Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 This morning my husband set off the smoke detector making breakfast for guests, the smoke alarms went off and we could not get it to turn off. The only way to turn them off (after 10 minutes of trying) was to turn off at mains and remove the alarms from the bases. We have tried replacing them only for alarm to start again. I have looked through manuals and searched the internet to no avail. Can anyone help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Safelincs Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 Hi Liz, I would say that your sensor chamber got somewhat contaminated. Try to vacuum around the slots of the alarm with a soft brush attachment. If that does not help you ought to replace the alarm head which can be done easily without an electrician.
