Rind doorbell doesn't stop ringing

I have an existing chime, the ring button was pushed, the doorbell will not stop chiming. I had to remove the ring door bell unit. This is not a new device, this was purchased at least 2 years ago. I'm not sure what to even look at, I believe it has something to do with the ring unit itself. I put a door bell button on to test and the ring stopped after the cycle. The front door bell is a chime (Westminster chimes)

It is possible that the doorbell button is sticking down and keeping contact - so the doorbell keeps chiming.

SOURCE: my pushbutton doorbell activates my neighbor's chime

in the chime box and remote you can change the setting for the remote signal that is picked up( refer to your manual for the correct settings) these will be a set of pin connections in the chime box and in the remote switch that will have to be set to another selection

SOURCE: Wireless doorbell rings by itself

Doorbell button is sticking or slightly pressed in. Check to see if cover is installed correctly. It may be on on one side.

SOURCE: wireless door bell rings when no one there

most likely on the same frequency! They have a pretty good range on them, I'd go but a different brand!

SOURCE: 'Doorman' chimes keep chiming, without bell being pushed

I had the same problem - turned out to be a cordless phone nearby. If you have one, try moving the bell away from the phone or vice-versa. Another possibility is a neighbour with the same code. There are some jumpers you can move around to change this.

My Honeywell plug-in doorbell won't stop ringing

If your Honeywell plug-in doorbell won't stop ringing, there are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
1. Check the batteries: If your doorbell has batteries, make sure they are properly installed and have enough power. Replace them with new ones if needed.
2. Check the ring options: Press the ring option button with the music sign and cycle through the different ring options until you find one that stops the ringing.
3. Reset the doorbell: To reset the doorbell, unplug it from the wall outlet and wait for a few minutes before plugging it back in. This will allow the doorbell to reset and may solve the issue.
4. Check the chime settings: If your doorbell has multiple chime options, make sure the one that's causing the issue is not selected. You can cycle through the chime options using the settings button.
5. Contact customer support: If none of the above steps work, contact Honeywell customer support for further assistance. They may be able to provide additional troubleshooting steps or offer a replacement if the doorbell is defective.

My Blyss doorbell won't stop ringing. I have changed the batteries in the chime and tried various suggestions., cleaned the terminals in the bell push.Help please

If your Blyss doorbell won't stop ringing, there are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot the problem. Here are some possible solutions:
  1. Check the wiring: The first thing to check is the wiring of your doorbell system. Make sure that all the wires are securely connected and that there are no loose or damaged wires. You can also try disconnecting the wires and then reconnecting them to see if that fixes the problem.
  2. Check the chime: If the wiring is fine, the next thing to check is the chime. Make sure that the chime is properly installed and that it is not damaged or loose. You can also try removing the chime and then reinstalling it to see if that fixes the problem.
  3. Check the bell push: If the chime is working properly, the next thing to check is the bell push. Make sure that the bell push is securely installed and that it is not damaged or loose. You can also try cleaning the terminals on the bell push to remove any dirt or debris that may be preventing it from working properly.
  4. Check the transformer: If the bell push is working properly, the next thing to check is the transformer. The transformer is a device that supplies power to your doorbell system, and if it is not working properly, it can cause your doorbell to ring continuously. Make sure that the transformer is securely installed and that it is not damaged or loose. You can also try disconnecting the transformer and then reconnecting it to see if that fixes the problem.
If none of these steps help, you may need to contact Blyss customer support for further assistance. They will be able to provide more specific troubleshooting steps based on your particular doorbell model and setup.

Why does my Desa doorbell model WA220-UK not work , fresh batteries in both button and chime unit?

It is a guess, but wireless doorbells have adjustable frequencies so that your neighbors door bell button doesn't ring yours as well. My guess is that the bell push and the chime unit are mis-matched. Do you have a manual? I can't find one.

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 am trying to install a Ring 2 Doorbell using the existing E851 Friedland Stockport 5K5 6BP chime. When I connect my wires the chimes ring continuously. What might I need to do?

Connect the new wire to the wire going to the original door bell button. one core of the new wire to one core of the existing wire and connect the other new wire core to the other existing wire core. insulate the joints from each other and any metal surfaces.

I have a IQ America doorbell with 5 chimes and 5 tunes and the bell only plays a sorta gong which cannot even be heard How do I fix this problem so that it plays a chime/tune?

We had a similar problem with a wired doorbell. There is a diode in the doorbell itself that causes the chime to ring fully. If the diode is backwards, you get just a small tone and can only hear the full chime if you hold the button down. If this sounds like your problem, open up the doorbell at the button end (or have an electrician do it) and reverse the diode.

Phantom bell rings on Siemens wirreless door bell chime jsjs-204, I do not have instructions

You may need to change the frequency of the chime. In this model, you need to remove the batteries from the receiver unit and wait for a while. Then replace the batteries. The doorbell unit should automatically set itself to a different frequency once you press the button, which will(hopefully) solve the problem.

It seems impossible to find the instruction manual for the doorbell. But see http://oddsnsods.net/blog/?p=68 who had a similar problem with a different Siemens model, which works on the same principles. (I can't seem to be able to remove the battery from the door bell unit on the jsjs204, but it reset itself after changing the batteries in the receiver).

How do i fix my doorbell

99% of the time, you need a new doorbell button
Also check if any circuit breakers are tripped
Check GFI breakers in baths and kitchen

Real-estate lady answer: buy a new doorbell button and connect 2 wires on back of new button.
Doorbells are low voltage and not dangerous.
If screws are loose in the holes, break off toothpicks in hole so screws have something to bite.
You need small screwdriver:

Repairman answer
Doorbell problems have 3 parts
1) The button
2) The chime or bell located in house
3) The 12V or 24V transformer located in attic or basement
4) rarely the wiring because it's low voltage and does not get hot

1) start at the button.
Remove button from wall
There are two LOW-voltage wires on back of button
Remove 1 wire and touch other wire, copper to copper
Does doorbell ring? Do you see a spark?
If bell rings, then button is bad

2) Chime or bell doesn't ring when button wires are crossed
Take cover off chime
The button works, so have helper push button while you're looking at chime
Can you hear any noise? Have helper push button on-and-off
Chimes have 2 or 3 wires >>> 2 wires if only front door has button, 3 wires if back door also has button
Take one wire loose and scratch it across each of the other wires
Remember front button is held down (or front button wires are twisted together)
Can you see a spark when wires are scratched together?
Try this with more than one wire ... but don't mix up location of each wire
If you are getting a spark, then chime is getting power, but it's not working
Replace chime

3) Transformer in attic or basement looks similar to this:
f6ff230.jpg
Use a wire and scratch across both screws to see if you get a spark
If you get a spark ... and the crossed wires dont ring the chime... and there is no spark at chime, then there is a bad wire
If no spark at transformer, then check circuit breaker
At last resort, but new transformer at Home depot in the doorbell section near light department
