Rittenhouse Service & Repair Forum
A plunger on my 50 year old door chime is not returning to the rest position when the door chime is not activated. The consequence is a continuous buzz and erratic operation when the button is pressed.Have I provided sufficient information to diagnose the ease of repair?Thank you.Jim
