Bell is connected to two doors. The front door works fine. The rear door won't ring at all. Can't tell what might be disconnected. Any ideas would be a big help. Thanks.Ken Bentham

My manual says 4-8 Note Chime Models (534, 535, 552, 577, 618, 633). I don't know which one I have. It has long chime tubes and a clock on top. The door bell works great, but the clock doesn't.
