I had to replace the doorbell button on my wired doorbell. The lighted plastic part in the old button broke. When I installed the new button, it seems to have a problem. With the old button (no longer manufactured - company went out of business), you pressed and released the button and the entire doorbell chime sequence played. With the new button, you have to keep the button depressed to play the entire chime sequence. As soon as you release the doorbell button, the chime sequence stops immediately. There were only 2 wires connected to the old doorbell button and I simply attached those to the two contacts on the new button.
Any idea why the entire sequence does not play and how I might resolve this so that pressing the button once and releasing it will play the entire chime sequence? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Happy Holidays to all!
