[Rossi74]

Hi guys, I've replaced a whole Friedland doorbell system like for like and I'm only getting a DING and no DONG. any suggestions? I've never fitted or worked with doorbell systems before.

push button faulty ???

ding when you press it dong when you release ???

 

[Rossi74]

Fitted a new push button, is it common for these new buttons to be faulty?

i assume its the mechanical type where a solenoid hits metal plate? probably said metal plate moved out of way of solenoid....

Plastic casing distorting due to overtightened fixing screws preventing full movement of solenoid? or cardboard packing piece still in over one chime bar? are both possibilities.

sounds good to me especially if he has changed it twice !!!!!!!!!!

Thanks guys gonna check those ideas out when I go back

Or you could have selected the wrong output voltage on the transformer???

You can buy a DONG as a spare part , I think Edmundsons do them . Unfortunately they don't stock the DINGS as N& Eyre has the concession to sell those.

However , try asking Steptoe as hes always playing with his DING-A-LING ( Copyright Chuck Berry)

I would imagine that is a job you give to the apprentice, go to the wholesalers and buy a new Ding for the doorbell!

what amperage transformer are you using and how many bells are connected

 

[Andy™]

the fact its making half a noise proves that the switch is fine and the power supply, and that the solenoid is moveing, just its not hitting one of the plates

 

[Doc Hudson]

Another solution? Easy Wireless & Battery less

Wire trapped between the dong plate and solenoid?

I had a repair job like this the other week after customer took bell box off the wall for decorating.

Try getting someone to ring the door bell, whilst you have a look at the action of the bell solenoid.

You've wired it wrong.

Some of them were MADE to do that.

They had TWO connections for buttons.

The one from the front door made it go Ding Dong

The one from the back door just made it go Dong.

So you knew which door to go and answer.

Read the instructions.

I've had a problem like this before. You need to increase the voltage. On longer runs the volt drop can be enough to not throw the bar hard enough to ding then dong.

Easy fix though.
