Mechanical Chime is Not Ringing

We recommend professional installation when installing the doorbell. Licensed professionals can diagnose and troubleshoot electrical issues that vary between environments and age of the home.

Please make sure you have selected “Mechanical Chime” in the Chime Settings of your Doorbell.

Please make sure the power transformer used to power your doorbell matches the recommended specifications 12V-24V 10VA.

Please make sure you have the included Power Kit installed properly. See this video for assistance.

In some isolated cases, removing the Power Kit can fix the issue.

If you are still having trouble, your mechanical chime may not be compatible. Please bypass your mechanical chime by taking the two wires that were connected to TRANS and FRONT on your mechanical chime and connecting them together.

Hearing a Buzzing Noise?

This may be an electrical issue with your circuit wires. Please contact a professional for assistance.

Please make sure you have the included Power Kit installed properly. See this video for assistance.

In some cases, removing the Power Kit can fix the issue.

In some isolated cases, creating a “bridge” wire between FRONT and REAR can resolve this issue. We recommend having a professional look at this option.

If you are still having trouble, your mechanical chime may not be compatible. Please bypass your mechanical chime by taking the two wires that were connected to TRANS and FRONT on your mechanical chime. Connect these two wires together.
