[QUOTE="werdnarolyat, post: 497887, member: 32735"] Hi, I'm trying to work out why my doorbell isn't working. It must've stopped working sometime in the past couple of weeks; we have not been doing any work in the vicinity of the doorbell, wiring, or chime so I wonder whether it's something has worn out, there's a loose connection or fault in the wiring. The house was built in 1928 and I'm not sure whether or not it is still the original wiring, doorbell and chime. So far I have taken the doorbell off and touched the 2 wires together and there was no ring. Unfortunately, I made the schoolboy error of not taking a picture before I removed the wires... Should the wire go beneath the washer or between the washer and the screwhead? Beyond that should I next test whether the chime is receiving a signal when the doorbell is pressed? Would I need a multimeter for that? I'll also have to try and locate the transformer. Any advice would be great. [/QUOTE]
