    THe doorbell is the part that's inside and makes the sound. You mean the outdoor button. Yes in most cases you need a new one. (the outdoor switch).. the bub in it has burned out. It will still work for years as-is. I know mine burned out years ago and I never got around to replacing it.

    Yes, get a new one. They're only a couple bucks.

    Disecting the doorbell switch and replacing he lamp with an chip LED and a resistor works, but you'll never have to do it again.
