Question About BRK electronic Smoke Alarm None
False alarms...

My BRK smoke detector continues to go off for no reason. The house is 11 years old and these detectors have been doing this several times a year. The family has become complacient with the alarms. What can I do?

5 I have exactly the same problem - started 10/2/08. I've seen a few other forums suggesting the life of these was only 10 years... Inside the bottom of the battery compartment it says to replace the Detector by 2005 - i'm going to start buying replacements!

4 Same problem w/ mine -- started chirping and replaced battery w/ no help. I called BRK and was told that the replacement model for the BRK 86RAC is the 9120B; they added it has same plug-in mechanism, slightly modified mounting, however.

4 I have 7 of these and have been getting false alarms for a couple of years. I just went through, pulled off the cover by releasing 3 snap on clips and thoroughly cleaned the insides with a vacuum cleater, focusing on the ionization unit with a small brush. So far, all's quiet on the smoke alarm front
