Rittenhouse Service & Repair Forum

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?

The main unit is 17\' wide and 9\" tall. There are 12 units scattered throughout the house. They each measure 7.5\"…Purchase or Repair: Ticket Image...

Do you know of anyone in Central or East Central Ohio who can repair a Rittenhouse electric door chime? It has four, short brass tubes and chimes like The Westminister chimes. Thank you.

A Rittenhouse model 312 came with my home. It works but the chimes are not loud enough to heard unless you are in the room where the doorbell is mounted.I would hate to replace it because other than this it is very workable.
