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

It appears the hammers are sticking or a spring has broken. There are three. Can i get replacement solenoids/hammers, or an estimate to repair the whole Chime unit. Also if you think it would be best to buy new.Thank you.,John

As cover has been lost, we suspect dust and grime is keeping the other hammers from working.Can the unit be cleaned and…Purchase or Repair: Ticket Image...
