Rittenhouse Service & Repair Forum

Tag on door chime unit says:Model 8846RVolt 16Rittenhouse Division Spartan ElectricFayetteville NC 28386The unit has four tubes, it has a circuit board with integrated circuits. The transformer is putting out 18.5 volts, although the unit says 16 volts on transformer and circuit board. I assume the board has gone bad. I like the unit, I am wondering if a replacement board is available or can you fix the current one. Another alternative I would like to explore, if another brand unit can be used.

I have the above model doorbell and really like the sound vs. the new \"electronic sound\" doorbells. Problem is the mechanism inside the doorbell (the part with the two knockers that the wires attach that hit the bells to make the sound) no longer works. Can I still get this part replaced and if so…Purchase or Repair: Ticket Image...

I have the above mentioned door chime (Rittenhouse door chime model C8536) that does not work correctly. There where some broken wires from the transformer coils that I soldered back on and now it does not work correctly. Do you have a schematic for this unit?
