I will soo be releasing the merch.

So once there’s no low voltage coming from the transformer you took off the wires line side (120v) not knowing if it was hot or not. That’s a no no. Im an electrician but a lot of people on here are novice. Good way for them to get shocked. Always locate the breaker and shut it off for safety reasons. Make sure you check the wires with a volt meter. Also never use an impact drill to tighten the screws for the transformer. Easy was to strip the screws.

Completely agree. Start taking wire nuts off without switching it off at the breaker? Someone's going to get hurt with this video.

Disturbing video indeed. im thinking the "novice" is the one who made the video. As Sebastian pointed out , too many mistakes from no warning of electrical shock to wrong choice of tools for the public even improper diagnostic procedures...

If you watch his videos he is always working around hot lines without killing the 120. It's definitely cringe worthy.

Sebastian...what does is mean when you have to hold the doorbell button down for it ring completely. If I just push mine in like you normally would it doesn't ring. It has to be long pressed. Hopefully, you answer. Thanks.

Thank you for the instructions. I was able to fix my doorbell by changing the button just like you demonstrated on the first step. It cost $4.98 for a new button at Home Depot.

I've been searching for my transformer for months.... Never thought to check BEHIND the chime!

I learned something. I didn't know it had a transformer behind it. Glad I watched your video.

Knock knock all transformers are hidden knock knock all transformers are knock knock all transformers are hidden in a chime box. Ours are in the garage with supplies power to three bells. And our voltage is just 16 volts here in New York

Thanks so much! The tip on joining the two wires to confirm whether it's the button or not, greatly helped.

Thanks!! I watched your KZread video. Went to the local hardware store and spent $4.07 and replaced my doorbell. It made me feel a lot better since it cost me $180.00 earlier in the day to have a plumber install a wax ring under my leaking toilet. Something I am sure I could have done for $8.67 if I had more self confidence. I will continue to follow you on KZread

Nice job,I find that most of the time it is the chime that is not working.

Doorbell wires didn’t have any power. Transformer is bad probably. Will follow your instructions. Thank you

We have had doorbell issues since lightning struck the pole outside our house. We lost a TV, Computer and the SKYBell video 2-way doorbell. Time to do something about it, the doorbell, after nearly 3 years. I had no clue the transformer was in the wall behind the chime. I thought they were all in the attic. You taught me something. Tomorrow I will start the trial and elimination and figure out what I do need. Thinking about going to The NEST HELLO doorbell.

Thanks for the video! I am having problems with my doorbell buzzing because the circuit is closed and the plunger is locked in the "Ding" position...FYI, my switch is disconnect and the wires are not touching eachother. HELP!

Should I be making sure the breaker is off when looping the wires onto the new button etc? I want to fix my door bell but I'm also not looking to get shocked or anything haha

Thanks gangster

Hey DIY. Great vid but what if your old transformer only had 2 wires (black/white)? It sits in a plastic instead of metal box behind the doorbell chime. I do not see and bare/ground wire. Any suggestions? Thanks

thank you, my door bell problem solved, I have to replace the transformer.

Thanks for the video. No Bueno here. I have voltage at the transformer but none at the chime or button. I have no idea!

@DeaninItYourself

if you have power at the transformer touch the two wires together at the doorbell and see if it works. if it does just replace the button

We had a person install a storm door and our door bell started to hum. Could a wire have been spliced forcing the humming noise? Replace Door bell and Door chime and still does same thing. Driving me crazy what the issue is! House is 7 years old. Have not found the transformer. Any ideas? Probably going to a battery operated door bell next.

In all this process, you don't have to shut down power at the breaker?

My door bell is attached to the vinyl siding. To get to the wiring I have to remove a layer of vinyl. To do that I have to remove a shutter. Does the vinyl then just slide off?

All ok bro . It is safe by putting the CB's off before connecting the xforner...

So turn the power off first? Will it stll give a reading with power on or off ?

You said set the VOM to AC to test for voltage at the button. Shouldnt it be DC at the button?

How do you wire the chime if you have front and rear button

I'd recommend turning off the breaker in your video. While you are cautious enough to know how dangerous it is, a noob won't realize that

Always remove the main to the transformers primery 110 or 230 V side. If you not wear protective gloves, there is

i have door bell with video to see who is the guest from inside. when we slide move volume control low to high or high to low, we can hear the sound of the bell when we tested and pressed bell button from outside. but the next day, when you press the button again, no sound and no video or some times just the video. we repeated what we do with the volume control, tested and working..but not working on the next day.. any suggestion to fix..?

Which one is hot and ground? Because you had red on red black on black outside at button and black on red and red on black inside at transformer.

Thanks for good information and good effort to show ! My question is , this transformer connected in circuit breaker? Right? Because, I have exactly same chime and doorbell! And I believe that behind my chime there is no transformer! Pl help ! Thanks

If you got nothing when you checked with your multimeter, it's probably that you had cut the power before because you immediately proceeded to disconnect the transformer and, of course, you would'nt do that if you still had the power on.
