My smoke detector keeps beeping every 60 or so seconds. What should I do to make it stop?
My home has one of those annoying electrical smoke detectors that went off at random times, too.Mainly due to the location of the detector, which was near the bathroom.It beeped whenever it detected steam from the bathroom after someone showered.All you have to do is disconnect the wiring from the power source.I asked a brave friend to do it as I’m not familar with the wiring and scared I might get shocked by the electricity.Thankfully, he wasn’t.He didn’t know which was the correct wire but just disconnected one wire and pushed the re-set button to see if it would beep.If it continues to beep, then disconnect the other wire and test to see if there’s still beeping, until it ceases to beep.It has to be one wire or the other.I think there’s only two wires.I would recommend having an electrician take a look at it though for safety reasons.My old smoke detector is still there but not functioning.Since it is connected to wiring, I decided to keep it there and installed a battery powered on
