Since they don’t require wires to install, wireless doorbells can go almost anywhere to alert you that someone is at your door. The button requires a battery to send a signal when pushed, and the doorbell requires batteries to receive the signal and emit chime tones. Even though they're less complicated to install than their wired counterparts, wireless doorbells have their own set of issues that can cause them to fail.
- Change your security code on the wireless doorbell and doorbell button if it chimes on its own. A wireless doorbell made by the same manufacturer installed in your neighbor’s home could activate your doorbell chime.
- Remove the push button from the exterior wall. Use a small flathead screwdriver to remove the button cover and expose the circuit board. Dry the interior of the push button with a paper towel. Any moisture inside the doorbell button could cause ghost chiming.
- Verify that the security codes on the push button and wireless doorbell match. If one of the codes was changed accidentally, the transmitter cannot signal the doorbell to chime.
- Check the batteries inside the button and doorbell to make sure they're fresh. Without fresh batteries, the button or doorbell won’t have the power to chime. Old batteries can also corrode the connections and damage the button or doorbell.
- Move the doorbell closer to the button. Too much distance between the transmitter and receiver can cause the chime to fail.
- Check the location of the door chime and button. Attaching either unit to metal can interfere with the transmitter and receiver. Concrete can also interfere with the signals. Install the doorbell and the button on small pieces of wood to improve the reception.
