Rittenhouse Service & Repair Forum

I have Model 380 16V. I had connected it ot a Ring Video 2 Doorbell and it worked fine for several months. Now there is a loud humm coming from the chime. I think the Ring ihas a problem. Ring says the chime may not be compatible. Ring says the model 382 is compatible. Whould you know the difference between the 380 and the 382?
