This problem may be caused by a lighted doorbell. After the bell is wrung, the light will re-illuminate. When that happens it may be drawing just enough power to make the door chimes think that the button was pressed once again.

When that happens it may be drawing just enough power to make the door chimes think that the button was pressed once again. This is a repeating pattern.If a lighted door button is used, the solution is to either replace the button with a non-lighted version, or open the button and disconnect the light inside it.Yes, I had this problem myself. I had replaced an old doorbell button with a new, lighted one. I ripped out the tiny light inside and it worked fine after that.

4 out of 10 times whenever I press the button it works.How do I know if the transformer that needs replacement or if the wiring itself that went wrong? I have replaced the button and it should not be the problem itself.How much would it cost if you send someone to fix it?Thanks.—> …Purchase or Repair: ...4 out of 10 times whenever I press the button it works.How do I know if the transformer that needs replacement or if the wiring itself that went wrong?

I couldn\'t find any responses addressing whether or not there were solutions available. This system is working fine, it just looks silly with the updates we have made to the house. Thank you!

I recently purchased an older home that has a Model # RC-475 - 16 volt door chime that works fine, but lacks the cover.

Is it possible to purchase just a cover from you or is something like this no longer available. Amazon has one but the mfg. dimensions wouldn't fit. As close as I can measure where the unit is installed on the wall are approx. 6 1/2 in.x 8 1/2 x 2". Can you help, or perhaps give me some info. as to where I might be able to find one.Thanks for any help. Have a good day.Kathy Grant

It was custom built in 1983 with many upgrades that were available at that time. Unfortunately since we have lived here the system does not work. The main unit is 17\' wide and 9\" tall. There are 12 units scattered throughout the house. They each measure 7.5\" tall by 8\" wide. I think what we have may be on the large size as far as the measurements of each room speaker and the main system as well. because of this we are afraid we are looking at a major renovation to replace it. New drywall and all that. Is there a possibility that it can be repaired or does Rittenhouse have a replacement that would fit? Please advise.Thank you,Marie Gunderman

It has a main station attached to 5 rooms and a front door intercom. I would like the update to include Pandora and a video front door intercom.
