How To

Replace the sensor component of your carbon monoxide detector according to your manufacturer's recommendations.

If you don't have the instructions from the manufacturer that came with the unit, then you can try looking on the Internet for the model, and then downloading the instructions.

You do not typically need to replace the entire unit, just the sensor. Just replacing the sensor, rather than the entire unit can save you money.
