Sir, thank you for this video. Out of all the ones I’ve watched trying to figure out my wiring system they used for our doorbell, your video was the easiest and simplest to understand. Allowed me to FINALLY get our doorbell to work again after 2 blown transformers and replacing the chime inside the house. It burned up as well. Too much to explain how it was previously wired ( had multiple wires going to the chime with no labels and none were hooked up to the old chime). Anyway, thanks a lot!

Thank you very much for this instrumental video. My wife and I purchased a house last month and in the hallway we could smell a burning smell and a buzzing sound in the hallway. So instead of calling in a electrician I you-tube it and found your video. So yea buzzer switch was stuck in the on position and the bell was hooked up wrong. Now I am a new subscriber to your channel.

Trent, Thanks for this video, it’s quite helpful. I’m going through the troubleshooting steps and find that when I touch the wires for the button together, sometimes it initiates the chime and sometimes it squeals or just clicks. (The chime plays a song, so there’s actually a diode between the two wires as well.) I’m visiting my parents house and can’t get access to the transformer in their attic to test the voltage. Just wondering if this is enough info to tell if the issue is wiring or transformer or something else. Thanks for any info you can provide!

I already had 30amp transformer bc I wanted to this originally but never did. Thanx in advance for the help!

After installing, the transformer shows 18.5v, but now my doorbell is getting a very low amount like 1.5v. Any idea what could be causing that? The wiring is poorly labeled but I hooked it up identical to how it was. Thanks!

Hey been having some trouble installing a new video door bell, i think my transformer might be not supplying enough power to it. I found a transformer in the basement by the breaker box but only the power cables are connected (black, white, ground) but no low voltage cables on the other side are connected. Bare in mind the current door bell and chime box are working so it must be getting power from somewhere. That transformer i found seems to not be in use. Any ideas of what could be happening here? Thank you!

I purchased an Utilitech transformer (#0063548) that has three voltage settings (8V, 16V, & 24V) to replace a Nutone C905 transformer with one voltage setting (16V) for my doorbell. No matter what setting I put them on, both transformers only produce just over 4 volts when they are tested with my volt meter. I'm assuming something is screwy with the power source leading to the receptacle. Also, there's another wire leading out of the receptacle, but I have no idea what it leads too. Can you give me some advice on what possibly could be the reason why my transformers are not producing the correct voltage??? Supposedly, per the electrician who wired my townhouse, 120 volts is coming off the voltage source leading to the receptacle. He wants to charge me $120 to replace the transformer plus the cost of a new transformer. It sounds like the electrician has a real good extra moneymaking scheme going on here, especially with people who are replacing low voltage devices that require a little more voltage that the original device.

Your question is like asking someone how long a piece of string is. How would anyone guess where your wires are assuming they are still there?? Think tradesman have special tools to release vinyl siding to pull that back and find the hole through the cedar siding and hopefully find the wires that way. I am assuming you know you had a wired switch mounted on the cedar siding. Was your door trim replace then because my switch is mounted right on the door trim? Could be behind that. At this point it is anyone's guess.
