I had one 1276 in my house failed. Can I just buy one and replaced the unit that failed? Or should I replaced the other 1276 as well?

you can replace it with any smoke alarm that supports your connection, these are great smoke alarms and I stayed with the 1276 units, they are easier to change the batteries in,and they have a great track record.. but its your call any smoke alarm is better than none..hope this helps.

I'm no expert, but I replaced all of mine (8) to the newer model that replaces the 1276 because a) they were 10 years old and that's the typical life and b) if one failed, I'd expect the others to do the same within a short time so it was just easier to replace them all.

If your units are at ten years in service they are at end of useful life according to the manufacturer. The manufacture date is in the bottom of the unit

Most of the sellers give you models that are comparable. If not some have phone #'s and are glad to help. Youtube video's are a must, better than the directions that come with the unit... Type in your model # and alot of them come up on Amazon. I had no problems thru Amazon..

having the same issues here. bought one unit which died in a week, returned it for a second unit which died in a week. about to return it again, but this is getting old........ can't help you on which one to buy as a replacement. there seems to be enough folks who have had good experiences with the c530 to warrant trying again...

I can't speak to the 21006931, but I replaced a 1276 model in my housewith a Kidde FireX Item 21006376 (also identified as Model i12060), andit was both physically and electrically compatible with the original 1276,and has been operating fine since it was installed. You can also call Kiddeif you have any questions. I did to ask about compatibility and they werequite helpful.

Yes, you can, with a call into their service department. Our units failed after about three months though.

We went through 4 units with failures in each one. The product is a complete piece of crap. We finally gave up on it altogether. Good luck.

I would call their customer service. They will send you a new one but, only put a 90 day warranty on it after. This is why I will never buy from them again. They don't stand behind their product. I bought one and it failed within three days... Good luck.

If you're trying to replace the battery in the unit, I wouldn't bother, it'll most likely cost you more than a new unit. If it failed during warranty, that's a different matter.

Honestly, this particular model has a 50% failure rate so I bought another type. If you want to know about compatibility, go onto the Honeywell website and you can e-mail them with specific questions and someone will get back to you

Simple answer, meant respectfully: if you have to ask, then probably not unless you have a friend who is technically inclined.. But the loss of 1 or 2 leds wouldn't really matter. More than a few failures, and it would probably be best to replace the whole unit.

Oh yes I replaced all my 6 units and this was easy. Since all age close to same time I would say replace all at one time and have the peace of mind. But u can replace one or buy one just make sure u are buying the exact what will match the installed units

Kathy, I'm sorry for not knowing the answer to your question but if that had happened to me I'd contact customer support dept of the distributor here in the USA. Just explain your circumstances and ask them if they'd be willing to sell you a replacement or (better) courtesy one out to you at no charge.

all I can tell you is the one I have worked fine. I did read some reviews of defective units, but mine was OK. Send it back and try another.

Buy a new one. When these have anything go wrong, it is cheaper to buy a new one than try and fix. I had problems with the light on mine, and it was not the light, but something in the wiring. I purchased a new one from Amazon. Very happy

I have no idea. The two units I have were installed when my place was built around 2003-2004. Only one has failed so far (about a year ago now). When I replaced it, I didn't bother to take apart the old one to see why it wasn't working.

Have you called the company directly? As I understand it this unit was discontinued. I doubt any local retailer would keep spare parts. http://www.haieramerica.com/support

I'm not a happy customer as mine gave me a lot of problems from the beginning. It could be a 'one of' faulty piece... So it was a waste. Maybe if you get one it will be fine.
