What should the voltage be on my Doorbell?
Set the meter’s voltage range to 120 volts AC and touch the meter’s probes to the two low-voltage terminal screws on the transformer (the ones with the small-gauge bell wire). If the transformer is working correctly, the meter’s reading should be 12 volts or the secondary voltage marked on the transformer or bell.
Why does my Doorbell make a buzzing noise?
If they hear a buzzing sound then it means that the unit is trying to make the sound but is unable to do it either due to lack of voltage or due to some other mechanical problem within it.
