New wired Heath/Zenith doorbell buzzes until disconnected

This morning while sleeping my doorbell chimed and then continued to buzz until I disconected the front door button wire that goes to the button. Before I disconnected the one at the chime itself I had disconnected 1 wire from each doorbell button. I just replaced the unit and transformer as the old one did the same thing. Bell wire to the buttons so I can use a different wire. Think the wire are crossed?

It sounds like you have a bad push button . if the wires where crossed you would most likely have this problem as soon as you turned on power .

I am trying I install a ring pro on an existing old Heath-zenith doorbell but the doorbell has 4 wires instead of 2 described in the directions.

See if there is sufficient voltage between the two wires using a voltmeter. Also check that there is voltage coming out of the doorbell transformer to the wires, and power from the regular AC line going into the transformer. Sometimes the transformer dies and it's time for a new doorbell, although in the old setups, the transformer was separate from the doorbell.

I need a new push button for an sl6195 rx

Heath-Zenith (I beleive they bought DESA) makes a battery remote push button bell that says its compatible with all Heath Zenith chimes. I bought one at Home Depot and it worked for my SL-6195-RX. (an on line doorbell seller and the Home Depot assoc all said it wouldn't work.)
UPC is 16963961975.
Item also shows a code "11G43" on a sticker on the back of the package.

If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/steven_7f54ab9063554f66

When door bell is pushed the chime unit playes through all of the songs instead of just one.

The unit is receiving electricity so low-voltage transformer and button are working correctly.
Only suspect left is door chime itself.
Check that voltage of transformer matches voltage of chime.
Use cheap multimeter from home center and check voltage at chime, or check transformer.
Doorbell transformers are usually located in basement or garage or attic, and most are hardwired into octagon box.
There are no replacement parts for door chimes.
Buy new one, or contact seller for refund if this is new chime.

I have a door chime SL-6195-RX with outside door push button. I have changed batteries in both units and still does not work.

The contacts in the outside push button unit may need cleaning. They do get dirty over time. If that doesn't solve your problem you can contact the Zenith Company, who is now is the manufacturer for tech service issues. 800-858-8501.

Hope this helps solve your problem.
