Rittenhouse Service & Repair Forum

I get typically one of three chimes to sound when the doorbell is rung, occassionally 2 followed by a buzzing sound. Some of the wires were loose and I tightened them, but still don\'t get all the tones. Any ideas on what to do to get all three chimes to ring?

Front door button will only ring one time. Side door button will only ring one time. Want front door to ring two times (ding-dong). Don\'t see how to wire it right.

This problem may be caused by a lighted doorbell. After the bell is wrung, the light will re-illuminate. When that happens it may be drawing just enough power to make the door chimes think that the button was pressed once again. This is a repeating pattern.If a lighted door button is used, the solut…Purchase or Repair: Ticket Image...
