Check your button, then take the wires off the terminal screws. Carefully hold the insulated part of the wires and touch the bare ends together. If the bell rings, replace the button.
Test Transformer
Check to make sure the transformer is getting power from the 110- to 120-volt circuit. CAUTION: The transformer is connected directly to a high voltage supply. Test the transformer with a multimeter. Touch probes on both secondary terminals. If reading is less than 6 volts or over 24 volts, the transformer should be replaced with one of equal voltage.
Next, remove cover and inspect for loose or faulty wires and/or corroded terminals. Test with a multimeter. First, Place one probe on terminal marked ''trans'' and terminal marked ''front''. Next, Place one probe on terminal marked ''trans'' and terminal marked ''rear''. The meter readings should match the voltage (6 to 24 volts) marked on the chime.
