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

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

A Rittenhouse model 312 came with my home. It works but the chimes are not loud enough to heard unless you are in the room where the doorbell is mounted.I would hate to replace it because other than this it is very workable.

We have 4 outside units, and 7 speakers.Can we purchase new units and still use the same wiring? Would appreciate a response ASAP. Thanks Jim MannP.S. Ple…Purchase or Repair: Ticket Image...
