    My doorbell does not work, and I can't figure out why.

    Here are the "symptoms":

    The button is not lit
    There is no buzz at the button nor the chime when pressed

    Any idea what I need to replace/fix? Thanks!

    citizen, there are plenty of places and tools out there on the interwebs to help with your problem. I personally have not done a replacement, but a quick search in YouTube yielded many results, and this is one from Home Depot, which seems more than legit.

    Try Google and YouTube, man. :cool:

    That reminds me -- my doorbell stopped working about 10 years ago. I haven't quite gotten around to fixing it.

    Too late for that. Do you happen to have any rat poison available?

    Look at the video Swoley D. Posted. Home depot has a door bell kit for $10. Everything you need is in the box. It took me 30 minutes to replace mine with 1 screwdriver. That small transformer for the door bell was up in the attic.

    Hehe. Always good to start the morning with a bunch of smartass CF replies to a real question.
