Guest guest Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 There might be a intermittent connection in the wiring (ie: a broken wire). Cut the power to the doorbell *first* before you do anything else. However, depending on how your house is wired, you maybe cutting off power to some lights or small appliances too. If you're handy, you can remove the face plate on the doorbell outside the door and pull the wire to see if the break is reachable. Or it may be reachable from the chimes inside the house. You then have two options: strip enough wire to use a marrette to re-establish the connection; if there isn't enough wire to strip and use a marrette, the cut the wire and marrette the " live " end (the end that eventually ends at the electrical panel). It might be cheaper to replace your broken doorbell with a wireless doorbell, than to have the wire re-fished through the house. Or you could just buy a door knocker - I think they are nicer looking anyway If it's a wireless doorbell, there are batteries in the chimes' box and the outside button that activate the doorbell. If you decide to seek professional help, a handy person should be able to do this job. Bringing in an electrician will be expensive and you'll likely have to wait a few weeks before they can visit. I had this problem in my old house.
