"Ding dong." If your doorbell is sounding a little sick
these days ... or, worse, not sounding at all ... the
simplest solution may be to install an entirely new unit.
Here's how to install it. |
|
|
| |
|
 Turn off the
power to the doorbell system at the main service panel.
Remove the doorbell-button mounting screws, and carefully
pull the button switch away from the wall. |
 |
| |
|
 Disconnect
the wires from the button switch, and be sure to tape them
to the wall to keep them from slipping into the wall
cavity. Connect the wires to the screw terminals of the
new switch. |
 |
| |
|
 Remove the
cover plate of your old chime unit. Unscrew the mounting
screws, and remove the old unit. Disconnect the wires, and
label them to identify their screw-terminal location,
again taping them to the wall to keep them from slipping
into the wall cavity. (You'll hate it if that happens.)
Thread the wires through the base of the new chime unit. |
 |
| |
|
 Attach the
new chime unit to the wall using the mounting screws
thoughtfully included in your installation kit. |
 |
| |
|
 Connect the
wires to the appropriate screw terminals on the new chime
unit (now aren't you glad you labeled them?). |
 |
| |
|
 You're
almost done. Now just attach the new cover plate and
restore power at the main service panel. |
