    Doorbell Transformer Location
    I have a doorbell that is not working. I know it is the transformer - but I can't seem to locate the transformer in the house anywhere. It is not by the electrical panel either. How do I go about finding it?
    Thanks, carol

    Are you sure that it is not a battery powered wireless door bell?

    I have found chime transformers INSIDE circuit breaker panelboards, even thou they do not belong there.

    If you can trace the low voltage cable from the chime and/or doorbell button, it should lead you to the transformer.
