Rittenhouse Service & Repair Forum

Hello. I have an Emerson-Rittenhouse Door Chime Model RC577 and it has quit working. I was wondering if there is a replacement transmitter available for this chime. It has the motor attached to the transmitter so I don\'t htink I can get a replacement at a store. Any information you could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Adrian Younger

Was working well until I sanded and painted the kitchen. I took the chimes down to paint, put them back and nothing works. I get voltage coming in but it doesn\'t move anything.

The small piston that strikes the chime does not return back to the original position. There is a spring on the piston. It seems like the piston should have a retainer of some sort on the end to hold the spring in place. Is there supposed to be a retainer on the end of the piston to keep the spring …Purchase or Repair: Ticket Image...
