Just trying to be handy around the house? Running into issues and roadblocks?
This fall we're preparing for colder winter weather and tested our Carbon Monoxide detector before we start using a natural gas heater.
Sometimes instructions don't work - I'm here to help! We're disabling the Kidde unit with internal battery. We'll show you the simple tools you may already have and find the lever and switch.
Details for the carbon monoxide detector we're taking apart:
Kidde
Modle Number: C3010
Will likely work if you have a display model and no display model
We bought this model at our local hardware store.
Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much for posting this. I thought I was crazy when I followed the directions and couldn't find a switch.

I am a 76 year old lady trying to replace my CO² detector. Your method is so easy. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for taking the time to make and share this video. The chirping was driving me crazy. My Kidde C3010 unit lasted over 10 years. Silence is truly golden.

Many thanks! I, too, had to pop off the back in order to access that black lever thing. Simply pushed it UP - ironically, AWAY from the "OFF" printed at the bottom of that black plastic lever section!

@leijin1882 Год назад

Thank you for the video! Impressive problem solving. I laugh at myself now for not trying your way, being an electrical engineer even 😂

@OhRacerRalph 2 месяца назад

Thank you so much! That switch would not budget otherwise, even with a huge amount of force. No more Kidde alarms for us.

@richardwong7757 Месяц назад

Thanks for posting! I had to crack mine open as well because that little plastic bar was keeping my switch from being shifted upward!

I had the same issue on 2 of these units. I called Kidde support. They had no clue about this problem and ended up telling me to throw them in a bucket of water to deactivate them. I did not do that. After watching your video, I was able to deactivate the CO alarms and remove the batteries. Thank you!!!

I have one of those hammers that has screwdrivers nested in the handle. Plan A was the screwdrivers, Plan B was the hammer. No need for Plan B now, thanks!

@veronicaelleson8565 6 месяцев назад

Thank you! I was woken in the night by this issue (cats having hysterics because of the beeping) and had exactly the same problem. The screwdriver trick worked a treat, thank you so much

@savagette26 Год назад

Thank you so much for your instructions!! I thought it would be easy to open and take out the batteries. NOPE! Totally different animal! I researched the model and found you with easy-to-follow steps on disabling and I had it open in 10 minutes.

@IndieMind-NativeHeart Год назад

So happy to hear it worked for you!

@janareeves7482 8 месяцев назад

Thank you! Mine started chirping in the middle of the night and, since it was a digital model I could see the END message. I knew that it was old, so I had a replacement, but I could not disarm this one. The Kidde website was no help, and that chirp is annoying! Fortunately, I had the exact same switch issue that you showed here, and I was able to silence the chirp. 😊

@jimharman5748 11 месяцев назад

After disassembling as you demonstrated I found that you CAN disable the detector by following the printed directions. The black switch is visible near the top of the slot and you have to push the screwdriver really hard against it, toward the top of the unit. The white plastic piece acts as a spring to prevent switching it off by mistake.

@shellysstuff9727 Месяц назад

same! but I was going nuts without your video. THANK YOU. my reset button just beeped at me every time I tried to reset. Saved me and the pup.

@Son-zg9np 25 дней назад

Thank you so much for posting this video. My detector stopped working at 2 am. 😅 Removing the cover was the hard part and had to do it exactly the same way you did it.

So I have a similar detector that battery just ran out - had to rip open the detector and remove battery. No more beeps. Home Depot tomorrow for a new one

@doogiehowser1124 Год назад

thanks for your help. ok...it was long winded - that's my only rub with your explanation. So we can all agree that you CANNOT replace the battery and that your only option is to buy a new unit. unless of course someone has circuitry knowledge to remove and replace the battery.

@kimbyroo4892 Год назад

Look at the front button it test/reset so that means to test it's one long hold only if you hit it two times it stops the noise I did this to but that works

@IndieMind-NativeHeart Год назад

Thanks! This video is for when it’s time to throw the unit away and disable the battery.

@jaxrules2892 Год назад

It takes a couple hours for the battery to discharge after you push up the switch.

@c0mbat15 8 месяцев назад

Mine is attached to the ceiling. I got the cover off but can't work out how to get the other half off the ceiling. It seems to be screwed in but I can't get to the screws.

@jetdoc87 Месяц назад

Trying to disable mine now.
