Rittenhouse Service & Repair Forum

Front and back door bells. I need a diagram showing how to connect the wires from the doorbells. Front works with one wire from Front doorbell going to Terminal B and the other going to Front in the 16 VAC group. I assumed one wire would go from Back doorbell to Terminal A and the other to Back in the 16 VAC group, but the doorbell is not getting power.

I have a Rittenhouse Chine door bell with four long poles. The model number is c8578-1, The unit will not work, I noticed two bad diodes, and removed them I am having problems locating the right ones. Is this something you can fix?

I get typically one of three chimes to sound when the doorbell is rung, occassionally 2 followed by a buzzing sound. Some of the wires were loose and I tightened them, but still don\'t get all the tones. Any ideas on what to do to get all three chimes to ring?

The reception is pretty poor and weak on the volume. Do your know if there is an transisterized replacement receiver that will fit into the 1970\'s model. Thanks, David......

Can you repair the solo kids on this 1950s era doorbell?It’s generally ok except that some of the parts that slide in the tubes to ring the chimes are lost. I could send it in or you could sell me the parts to fix it myself. Thanks,George Pond

The Rittenhouse door intercom answering system system was installed in 1978. It is not functioning well. Do you have a newer replacement for it that would still have the doorbell and intercom system? Does a new unit come with the exterior speaker?
