I was looking for a clear video to help with installing a Nest doorbell, and this was great step by step that was very clear and easy to follow. These are the videos that made YouTube such a valuable resource. Great job!

I could not find my transformer for a ring doorbell. Until I saw your painted one. Then I said. I know I have seen this somewhere. It was in the laundry room area on the wall. Great video.

Bananas! My issue was the chime pin being ceased up. That was an amazing catch. Thank you!

Good video. I was about to buy a new doorbell. Now, I think the transformer is the problem. Thanks.

My front doorbell only went "ding", not the two tone. I opened it up and noticed that the plunger spring had compacted. I pulled the plunger out and stretched the spring so that the top of the plunger was about an 1/8th inch off the chime plate. Now I have the two again.

Its the Calmness when you kept saying "I have no voltage" I wouldve been so frustrated after the 1st no 2nd no voltage lol

And once you've completed all steps, replace the batteries in your smoke detectors.

Video was definitely helpful. Thank you

Thank you! Got mine working👍 I didn’t have a transformer wired up.

When swapping the transformer out, I saw there were two black wires from the transformer to the nuts and once you replaced the transformer, it was one black and one white going to the nuts. Does it matter where these wires are connected to? I am asking because my transformer currently has 2 black wires and I am not sure what the purpose is for each wire.

Where do I find the transformer is it going to be by my electrical panel inside of the chime box or somewhere else

[crystalrussell]

I cant find the transformer. But I did unscrew the wires on the doorbell push button and touched the wires together. I got no sound. The plungers are not stuck or seized up, on the chime box.

Thanks for the video. Was able to get a nest doorbell going since it didnt have enough voltage.
