I show the steps for doorbell button replacement.
Most doorbell problems are caused by faulty switch button or loose wires to the switch. Replacing a doorbell button is an easy do it yourself project.
Because the button in run by low voltage of 24 volts or less, this is one of the few electrical projects that you can do without turning off the circuit.
To change the button, unscrew the old button and remove the wires. You can now test the system by touching the two wires together, if they sound the chime, it is just a bad button. To reconnect the new button, connect a wire to each screw in a clockwise motion. Then screw the button to the house. This is an easy fix that anyone can do.
If the problem is the chime or transformer, you will have to test them with a multimeter to find the problem. Always turn off the electric to the transformer if you have to change it.
