The low voltage wire going to my doorbell has a re and white and they are in the same cable insulation. I followed it to the basement where I think a transformer used to be. The whites were wire nutted together and the reds were nutted apart. To wire a transformer in, at the mechanical doorbell I connect the red to the transformer connection, the white to the doorbell, so I run the red to the transformer and red on the other screw to the doorbell and tie the whites together so they go from the mechanical doorbells connection and straight to the doorbell.
Anyone have any videos on how to do a three door bell button setup? I have three doors. Possibly 4 doors if I wanted to do one of my interior porch doors?
I need help!! I bought a new ring doorbell for my back door. So now I have two. I added another transformer to the existing box with the same power supply And the wires blow up. I don’t know what I did wrong here. Thanks.
Meanwhile I'm sitting here with my transformer than is over 60 years old that is still working great trying to figure how have it power a 2nd chime as well...

If you upgrade your transformer to 24V from a 15 volt transformer would that increase possibly damage your chime and or light in the door bell switch making the light run hot and damage the plastic covering the light bulb due the increase in volts? Please advise.
im just gonna ask this here in case someone can answer. So i bought the 16v 30va transformer that ring sells for my ring doorbell pro 2, so it seems that it may not be enough because the mechanical chime sometimes does not work sometimes for days at a time then it suddenly works again, the video doorbell itself works well. Im thinking of changing to a 24v transformer, will that break my mechanical chime?
Hello, I followed these steps for my Ring Pro 2 installation. My Ring doorbell is working with full power but the chime is not ringing. Now I tested the chime by touching the wires like u said but after attaching the Ring and jumper it stop. Any ideas?
So I purchased a Eufy doorbell cam and the app notified me that I need to purchase a 16-30 transformer. I purchased one from amazon and it looks similar to your transformer pictured at 4:20, I have the same Chime box that you have but where do I place the transformer?
Depending on where you live... it might be in the attic, basement, or closet. Try to find the wiring in the attic coming from the front door/doorbell area. It will most likely be red and white and will go into an electrical box.
Same problem I just came across today installed a ring door bell with the chime at 10bolt it wasn’t enough power to power the chime it would just buzz noise so replaced transformer to 24volt and now it’s all gravy baby
