Two out of 3 of my Kidde's needed replacement. On the way!
The only thing necessary to keep those extinguishers by the door is a monthly check. Invert and shake or hit with a rubber hammer a few times, check the gauge for proper pressure, make sure the pin is in and can easy be pulled. (A zip tie should NOT be used) Make sure the nozzle is clear, not blocked by mud daubers or such.
My extinguisher saved me after an oil check rag fell down on the exhaust pipe. 3' flames inside and outside the rear cap and I hit it with the "USELESS EXTINGUISHER". Fire out and it didn't even scorch the paint. Got the extinguisher filled that evening. Got smarter IMMEDIATELY!! No more rags back there.
The above post was made 11/2 right after I ordered the 2 new extinguishers. I ordered one on line and that arrived TODAY, Wow, with a recall that size I expected to wait a month or more. FIVE DAYS, including FEDEX shipping. GOOD ON KIDDE!!! Still waiting for the other extinguisher. Had to order that one by phone.
