Nest protect sensor needs attention

[chetk]

One of the Nest Protect sensors beeped and the error message accompanying a yellow light, says "there is a problem with the smoke sensor". I've cleaned it as instructed but to no avail, please direct me how to get a replacement, it is only a year and a half old.

Thank you,

Chet

Hello chetk,

I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble with this. No worries; we'll check this out. Just a few questions: Are there any previous events with Nest Protect, such as false or legitimate alarms, chirps, or other unexpected behavior? Does the reported sensor failure correspond with any recent construction, cleaning, or other activities in the house that could have introduced large amounts of dust or foreign particles into the environment? Have you tried doing a Safety checkup on the Nest Protect? 

Check out this link on how to do a Safety Checkup on the Nest Protect.

I look forward to your response.

Thanks,

Edmond

Hi Edmond,

I had thought this issue was solved, after replacing the batteries, as everything looked fine, until today. The same sensor is giving me the same warning as it was last week. The yellow light is on and in the app, it says, "the sensor has failed, replace the sensor". Please advise, as I don't wish to go without protection for any longer than is absolutely necessary.
