Today I replaced our doorbell. It has not worked for almost two years. When you press the button, it emits only an anemic nnnn sound that does nothing to alert us to your presence unless (1) the house is utterly silent and (2) we happen to be sitting at the dining room table.
Enough is enough! We went to Home Depot and chose a new unit. This afternoon, during naps, I took out the old one and put in the new.
Lucky for me, the instructions were pretty clear. They even suggested reversing the polarity of the diode if the new unit did not appear to work. I reversed said polarity of said diode and voila!
We now have a working doorbell.

Wow. That is more handywork than Munk's usually do.
I was thinking the same thing (as Liz) so I'm glad you apparently got a fix-it gene somewhere--I'm pretty sure I got mine from my Dad!
We have the same doorbell problem! We haven't fixed ours yet.
