Am about to replace hideous doorbell. AFAIK, I just have to unscrew
tthe old one and attach the new one to the wires.
BUT - how do I know which "breaker" as they used to call them,
controls the doorbell? I looked in my switch box, where I have
everything labeled, but did not see "doorbell". It rings in the
kitchen. Anybody hazard a guess where it might be connected?

Jumper the switch and then flip breakers until the noise stops.


Most doorbells I have worked on, that won't work. Energize the circuit,
and it rings once. The hammer in the doorbell doesn't retract until the
current stops. It would work for a simple buzzer, though.
