We've replaced the 3 "D" cells in the base unit and the 12V cells in the
two
buttons but still no joy.

Any ideas?

Has she or a neighbor added some other new wireless device that is
interfering with the doorbell ?? Does the bell have any capability of
using a different channel ??

Good tip. I do believe she's had a wifi hotspot installed. I'll have to
see if that's the cause of the problem. It would explain the recent sudden
onset.

I have a wireless doorbell where the ringer plugs into the wall.
Cost about 2.50. Worked for my mother for about 10 years and me for
about 3 and one day the ringer part "burned up". No visible damage
inside, but wouldn't work wth duplicate button. I don't know if a
ringer tha runs on batteries can do that.
