Carbon Monoxide Detector cap failure

[sam_sam_sam]

Here we go again with bad caps
It has two caps one is
10uf@50 Volts ESR value (33)
2200uf@25 Volts ESR value (11)

The screen showed ERR and the buzzer sounding
Put the two new caps in 2200 uf = FC. 10uf = KY or KZE

Now it back working again the way it should
This unit is over 20 years old and still working good

Re: Carbon Monoxide Detector cap failure

does the sensor last that long? did you test it by burning some gas or something near it?

The sensor goes in mine before the caps go bad. Lasted about 8 years, which isn't that bad, but nowhere near 20!
