Rittenhouse Service & Repair Forum

Only one of four chimes works, although we detect a faint electronic buzzing, in sequence, of the other three. For example, we hear Chime A, buzz, buzz, pause, buzz, buzz, Chime A. As cover has been lost, we suspect dust and grime is keeping the other hammers from working.Can the unit be cleaned and a new cover puchased?Thank you,Miriam

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.
