The chime plays fine, and will play the whole tune, but you just have to
stand there and hold it, or it only plays the first note or two depending
on how long the person holds the button down for.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Are you sure it is a resistor? It could be a TD relay of sort.


Looks like a resistor. Wire in, wire out, about 1/8" diameter body, but
only about 1/8" to 3/16" body length. Not sure about the color bands, would
have to go pull it tomorrow to see if it does have color bands indicating
resistance rating.

It could be a diode. ISTR some chimes use them.
If it has a single band at one end, that's
likely what it is.
