Solved - Doorbell Chime not Working!!! Google Nest Hello (Wired) Video Doorbell

[@DaringOne]

This ABSOLUTELY SOLVED MY ISSUE! Moved into a new home a year ago and had been thinking my transformer was possibly the issue. Thanks for putting out this video!

[@lucasbrown9713]

I finally won back my wifes affection because of this video. After months of incessant nagging about our lack of a doorbell, i finally sleep in peace. I am forever in your debt, sir.

[@sumatibansal9865]

I am a married man so I completely understand your sentiment!!! Your comment made my day!!! Thank you!!! 🙂

[@Curry-e9v]

Well, Dan Logan can respond with the visitor announcement

[@ryanlangelan2135]

Your suggestion to set the electric chime duration, even though my chime is mechanical, has solved the problem for me. Thank you for the suggestion! I believe this means my doorbell is slowly dying, but if this buys me another few years, great.

[@3cap97]

YOU SIR ARE BRILLIANT __ THANK YOU! After two new transformers, a whole lot of "double checking" the wiring and a couple of dozen KZbin videos....we have a three doorbell system (two NEST, one traditional) that would not ring the indoor chime. NOW....everything works!

[@rajeshtah]

Thank you Sumati. After this change in set up, my doorbell start working. Google nest should give these instructions to the new buyers.

[@balsahjpaul6522]

Amazing. Struggled for hrs. Followed everything and uninstalled and reinstalled. No luck. Your video saved me. Well done and thank you for doing the video !!!

[@GooseVI]

BRO THIS SAVED MY LIFE. EASIEST SOLUTION I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!! You literally have saved me from burning this dang house down. I was so frustrated. Also i am 34 years old. Please make more tutorials.

[@shorrocks2399]

Yes! Yes! I also thought I had suddenly become an idiot after installing everything per the instructions, but no chime. So nuts! Thank you for posting the solution. Greatly appreciate it!

[@BuckeyeDave1]

Worked Perfect as instructed. Mechanical chime wasn't working. Made a weird vibrating noise when Enabled at 3 seconds, but when turned off it worked perfectly. I don't leave many comments, but THANK YOU for your time sharing !!! Hit that Like Button...

[@marthamuratalla91]

It worked for me!!! Used to work and then suddenly stopped, did what you told me and voila it works now! Thank you!

[@richardschmittdiel9324]

Oh wow! Your fix saved me a bunch of grief and the pain associated with a factory reset. It worked!

[@MegaSkiman]

I can't believe this worked, but it did. I was going to replace my doorbell but found this video. Thank you for posting this solution!

[@incidentmanagementsolution882]

Thank you very much! I had both a front and rear Google Nest Hello installed. The front worked fine, until I installed the rear; then neither would activate the chime (although the local doorbell, blue ring, camera, and phone notifications worked fine). I found this and followed it, and presto, problem solved. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@susanlim7140]

It worked! Thank you for solving this frustrating issue! Saved me from replacing my transformer for no reason.

[@woochang888]

Worked for me as well! It was random that my mechanical bell just stopped. Great find!

[@michaelrollins6640]

Thanks, we have been fussing with this for weeks. I got a warranty replacement of my Nest doorbell months ago. Those settings on ours were off. Bless You!!!!!

[@briansullivan9712]

After spending hours on this issue, your solution worked perfectly.

[@endesheh]

Dude that made it work!!! Thank you! I think they screwed something up with the updates because mine was working a month ago and all of the sudden it stopped functioning until I did what you said. Thanks for taking the time and making this video! 😉

[@eldermontenegro190]

Thank you so much!! The technicians made me buy a new transformer, a new chime and nothing... This information solved my problem

[@shree1240]

Thank you dude! I was going crazy all day thinking what went wrong with the chime and even ordered a new transformer. You’re a life saver👍

[@damiansanchez9911]

Thank you! It really help me out. I was troubleshooting, bought a new transformer and bought a new chime. Wish I would of saw this video before.

[@HeneryH]

WTF is wrong with the developers. They specifically tell you not to use this for electromechanically chimes. Your solution worked!.

[@erwinp3443]

Genius. Make sure the settings are sent to indoor chime on. Thank You!

[@brandoncoffman1978]

This worked! So frustrating thought it was the transformer until I saw this video. Thank you

[@howardsuber8289]

GREAT help - I was going crazy trying to figure out what suddenly went wrong. Thanks!

[@VartanVartanian]

Thanks for the great and simple info, I was going crazy, now I have a doorbell chime that really works.

[@BIGSHANEK]

This video saved me from attempting to change the transformer. Thank you so much! It worked like a chime, i mean charm.

[@dougweaver2640]

I had the same problem but could not understand your English but I tried following what I saw and now the chime works. Thanks!

[@miedono]

Thank you taking time to post. I too had no reason to believe this option was related to the wired version. But, your solution works. Thanks

[@jasoncarr5946]

Thank you. I did not realize there was a setting for the indoor chime to work. Thank you for this video. I have the battery one that can also be wired.

[@christinamorales9609]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video!!! We installed our doorbell today & could not get it to work- your video saved us. Thank you!!!

[@zmotorsports62]

Thank you. I've been fighting this since the installation of the doorbell.

[@splitbrows]

Outstanding!!!!, I now have a basically new system as I was losing my mind trying to solve this and it NOW works, Thank you!!

[@rebeccadake1528]

This worked for me. Wish I had found it before other videos I watched and followed that directed me to undo and redo all of the wiring-those still left the chime working randomly. This made it consistent.

[@gilsanchez2863]

thanks so much, could not figure out what was wrong until I watched your video.

[@dimitrimundarain348]

You rock, that is definetely a misleading tittle for that feature in the GUI

[@HappyHappyPanda88]

omg, garbage doorbell that can't even just work as a doorbell... Thank you my doorbell randomly stopped chiming and the indoor chim was always on with a mechanical chime as well. Came across your video turned and tried that setting on and off and the chime is working again.

[@oscarabriles1151]

Thank you! Adjusting the chime duration fixed the issue with my mechanical chime.

[@nickoliviero648]

Thank you !! This solved our problem of no indoor chime

[@kevengarcia7328]

I effin love you bro. It was driving me crazy and this totally worked!! You are my hero, I needed a win today 🙏

[@MrAgility888]

Thank you so much, I did the electronic chime setting and it started working right away! I've been trying so many different things for the past few hours.

[@LemPotography]

thank you man! i gave up and just accepted that it's a voltage issue, setting it to 3 sec actually worked!

[@thomasblack2298]

Yes! This solved the same problem I had when I installed my new wired Nest Hello today. At first the indoor (mechanical) chime worked fine, but then stopped. This solved the problem. Thank you.

[@digitalman269]

Thank you. I just needed to find the "Indoor Chime On/Off" toggle. Now I need to figure out how to solve the feedback issue when I want to talk through the push button. There is a really bad chirp.

[@deanberdon2572]

Thank you for the video. We adjusted the seconds on the chime and it started working

[@yasserabbasichannel]

This issue was driving me crazy! Your solution worked, thanks.

[@jbuvic]

Worked for me. My mechanical chime wasn't working before changing the chime duration setting to electric, the duration to 1 or 2 seconds. 🤷 Working now, Thanks!

[@susanmayo8717]

Thank You! All is well now with our chime!!

[@marklee3066]

Sumati - This fixed my problem. Really appreciate your help!

[@Mote78]

Yay! Solved my problem too. I had installed a new transformer but it still didn’t work. Then I found this and…problem solved. Thanks!!

[@micahdean8250]

I'm late to the party, but same result. You saved me, thanks so much!

[@barryewood1949]

Thank you so much it was the time duration not being on. Your video nailed it.

[@killert9098]

Finally. Anyone wondering, I have no indoor chime but my app was no longer notifying me when someone pressed the doorbell. I turned chime off in settings, not the doorbell rings outside and app notifies me like it used too!

[@jasonwesbrooks4466]

One of the most helpful videos on KZbin - thanks!

[@TheCbone1979]

Thought it was my wiring job and screwing them down, now it works! Thank you 🙏 so much , liked and subbed my friend.

[@MrEverth007]

Great video. My chime was off. Problem solved

[@davidhoffman5110]

Thank you!! I was very frustrated and confused. This fixed it right away!

[@TheBmwMPowerE46]

Amazing, thank you. My chime started ringing after turning on electric chime and setting to 3 seconds.

[@Suresh_Jayaraman]

Man! You are the life safer! I wish you stay where I am, I couldve taken You for dinner

[@restimaje]

OMGGGGG YOU’RE GENIUS!!! I was in there and switched that on but I was like naaaaaaw lol.

[@moisted]

Mine still doesn't work, I tried different chime durations. It worked once at 7 seconds, but only once. Not working anymore at any duration. Sometimes the mechanical hammer slowly goes back, but does not release. Most of the time it won't move at all. Any ideas? I just bought the new Google nest doorbell(weird). It's not called Hello anymore.

[@토로노-b6p]

I have the same issue

[@chrismatlak1556]

Worked for me as well. Saved me some time and money. Thought I was going to have to get a new hello or doorbell.

[@georgelavallee9338]

It worked for me, I have spent lots of time trying to fix it. THANKS

[@Tillersweep]

I just installed the latest Google hello V2. As I powered it on the first time (before setting it up) I rang it to check the mechanical old chime still worked and it did. After a day of setting up and testing a neighbor came by and there was no mechanical chime. Long story short I had my wife watch the mechanical chime while I pressed the Hello V2 button. The solenoid moved slightly and there was no noise. There was nothing in the way of the movement. From that I deduced the software and wiring was right but the voltage was a little low so I am replacing the 24 VAC transformer. I will reply to give you the result.

[@Tillersweep]

I fixed it but the voltage wasn't the problem. After changing the doorbell transformer it still didn't work. I looked at the settings for the doorbell and there is one that says "Have an electronic chime?". I had "Yes" selected. The definition of "electronic" is rather imprecise. Mine is the old style electronic solenoid that uses electric fields to move a mechanical striker to hit a bar that sounds like a "bell". Setting this to "No" means the whole voltage is put across the solenoid and the bar is struck. Now it works fine.

[@Morlay1]

Worked perfectly! Exact same scenario you had. Thanks for posting.

[@jennifercha3730]

Thanks! We had a same issue and couldn't figure out what was wrong. Now it's solved and saved us from so much frustration. :)

[@JesusSanchez-xb8hr]

Had the same issue. Can anyone explain why this is the case? I followed the video and this helped me fix my indoor chime. On and off in the app and now it works. Thanks again this was very helpful!

[@ralph55555]

Thank you so much. Same story for me. never thought to try that. Now works perfect with electronic chime off.

[@oldboy1492]

WTH! This worked. Google needs to update that info.

[@BryanPierson]

Who would've thought!? Worked great, thank you so much!

[@nathanmurphy2634]

Awesome, Thank you for the help in fixing my nest Doorbell.

[@christopherwicks53]

Brilliant! Saved me from buying a new chime, although I had already changed the transformer, which may, or may not have been necessary. Thanks again, although does lessen my confidence in Google engineering.

[@jaysonlindo7603]

Right on the money! Exact problem, solved! Thanks very very much for taking the time to share. Greatly appreciated.

[@ketsinyong]

Thank you so much! You just save my chime. I tried many method and reinstall and this is a silly issue from Nest. Thanks

[@pinasalmeri1110]

That worked for us too !!! Thanks for sharing very kind of you !!

[@ReachJasjot]

Don't how you got there but spot on. It worked!

[@RyuRambo]

Thank you! This worked for me today with the wired generation two nest doorbell. I had same symptoms as the video and this trick worked like a charm thanks!

[@christopheramrollah2372]

Awesome it worked! Wtf so much time I’ve been wo a bell since I figured needed a new chime due to it worked for months just fine. Was about to pick one up and tried this. So glad I watched thanks!

[@AndyHum]

Thanks, I will try this tonight when I go home, I hope it will work for me, I installed the Google wired doorbell 2nd Gen, and everything works but no Chime on my Mechanical Chime.

[@ADJNamedSlickback]

You saved me bro! My indoor outdoor was off

[@jamesselisker294]

You are smart dude. Worked for me and thank you😊

[@dodgerfan79]

How do i get it to ring on my google nest products inside the house? It use to work and now it doesnt. Thanks

[@Theo1079]

Thank you! I had replaced and rechecked everything in the setup and this fix was what worked!

[@TheWilliamhh]

many thanks, got my chime working,

[@cory9170]

This worked for me as well. Thanks for taking the time to post. The problem is, I'm finding that Google products (I have Nest Hubs, too) are full of bugs. This doorbell fix you stumbled on works, and that's great, but I wonder how long it will be before it stops working again due to some new bug that Google introduces.

[@genygen]

1 sec is all it took! thanks!

[@ninumedia]

Same problem! Fixed because of you, thank you

[@sangvo5231]

Thank you, you saved me times, lot of times. Thanks again

[@sarabjeetsinghoberoi7676]

Thank you, finally it worked after trying out various chime duration.

[@BenCleaton]

Mine is the cover pressing the wires, causing it not to ring inside. As soon as I re-organized the wires, it then rang.

[@aarimaz]

Thank you very much! it did work!!! I switched it on, with a 1-second timer and it delayed the "dong" sound by 1 second. then I just tested it again by switching it off. then it started working normally. so my plan is, if it stop working again, then my first troubleshoot would be to switch this back on and test :)

[@justintuchscherer3642]

This worked for me! Thank you for sharing!

[@krisscb96]

Dude thanks, it worked for me too! I was turning crazy 😂!

[@phobos_miner4288]

Perfect. Same issue, sound was very fade, and this definitely sort my issue.

[@harshachickballapur.9779]

Thanks for sharing this information, this saved me a lot of time.

[@lrblouie]

Had same issue and truly appreciate your video - it helped solve my problem. Thank you!

[@IRENEPMILLER]

Your video helped me solve the problem! Thank you for sharing I great appreciate it!

[@linku82]

Thanks I reset Wi-Fi and it was not working. Then did as per your video and it worked

[@KarlKosko]

Thanks! This worked - so glad I found the video!

[@JyJyreyes]

Worked for me also. Thanks!
