Check the original button with an ohm meter to see exactly what it is..

I've never run across one that was more than just a momentary-close contact.

I'd venture the problem is the combination doorbell-pushbutton is the
one that has something that's more than just a set of pushbotton contacts.

The original one (that works) is a Heath Zenith Wired Push Button
(Model # 700W-A)

The new one (that doesn't work) is a IQ America Wired Lighted Doorbell
Push Button (Model # DP-1110A)

Hi,
As already mentioned you may have a button with lamp in it or diode.
You just need a plain momemtary contact button. Ohm it out.- Hide quoted text -

Remove the light bulb - cut the wire going to one end of the bulb.
I'll bet my retirement that that fixes your problem. BTW - If the
button makes it move in one direction, how do you move it in the other
direction to try the pushbutton again. You don't mention if the
remote control works or not.
