Door Bell

Asked Jul 12, 2009, 05:44 AM — 103 Answers
Hi,

Have installed a new wired doorbell. (DESA) Heath/Zenith Model #LE-65-B. (Electronic)

I also changed and added a new 16 Volt Xfrmer and a lighted pushbutton and a diode.

After install, all worked fine including the "Lighted" pushbutton.

I checked the bell a few hours later, it stopped working and the pushbutton light was off.

I went to the Xfrmer and checked the voltage with a test light and it was ok.

Then I looked at the push button and it was on again and all worked for a little while,

Then off again.

I took the button apart and disconnected the bulb and all worked again.

Isn't there a way to wire this with a lighted push button?

Add a resistor perhaps?

Thank you

Here's the manual if you don't have:

Personally If not working yet, I would try the LED, Bridge, and resistor at doorbell with the mentioned diode across the button.
