OK, so a new client has a very puzzling problem. Their doorbell
stopped working. I went underneath the house to find the
transformer and wiring: found *nothing*.

Look in every closet all around.

Did that. Nothing.

Look in kitchen cabinets.

Did that. Nothing.

Look around fuse boxes.

Did that. Nothing.

Pull out doorbell. It could even be a 120v doorbell, so turn off
electricity first to be safe. See where the wires are heading if you can.

Nope; it's a standard 18-24 v. doorbell. I've never even *seen* a 120 v.
doorbell chime. They may exist, but they ain't common.


In this house, I found the doorbell transformer hung off the side of a
junction box in attic, buried under loose-fill insulation.

Just sayin'
