The new button has LED. Perhaps this is the problem?

Ranger-

I missed the previous message.

That is because it was posted over *two years ago* on that silly
homeownershub web forum. Those people don't know how to read DATES!

I see the problem as much more that they don't know how to quote. This
is a rare case in which, if you include the subject line -- and I
think posts should make sense without reading subject line - the post
is understandable.. But he said "I am having the same problem" without
saying what the problem is. Bad habit.

Made me wonder if "Ranger's" doorbell has been ringing all those years.

Sometimes answering old posts as they do so often is ridiculous, but
here the poster has the problem now.

when i was 11 or 12 years old our doorbell started ringing at odd times with no one at the door. it was driving my grandma nuts.

i happened to be in the basement when it rang. the water heater turned on and the gas line moved ding dong......

the water heater had been replced just before this, the gas line touched the door bell wire and shorted it out.


i was very proud of my finding and fixing it, put a wood shim too keep the gas line fine from contacting the wire, and taped up the wires so it could never happen again.....

You should have been proud.
