Smart Doorbell "Mechanical Chime" Not Ringing
4.5
The doorbell works on your phone, but the old physical bell in your house is silent.
Symptoms
- No indoor chime
- Phone notification works
- Quiet house
Possible Causes
- Insufficient voltage
- Chime kit not installed
- Software setting
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Enable "Mechanical Chime" in App
Check the doorbell settings to ensure it's set to trigger the physical bell.
2
Upgrade Transformer
Most smart doorbells need a 16V-24V transformer; old ones are often only 10V.
3
Check Chime Kit Wiring
Ensure the small "power kit" that came with the doorbell is correctly wired to the chime box.
When to See a Technician
If the doorbell reboots every time you press the button, your transformer is too weak.
