Introduction

What you need

Step 1

              Situation

Button on doorbell is broken. Replacement from Etsy Store - Doorbell Accessories

1024

Step 2

              Cut old button away
  • The button is very difficult to replace by disassembly. The seller recommends to pull out the button slightly with your fingers and slide a screwdriver around the seam. I found this didnt work for me
  • The old button is clipped around the housing with three clips. Cutting the centre of the button out allows easier access to the clips from the inside
  • Be careful with the cutters to not go too deep and damage the inner circuitry of the button, try to cut parallel to the front of the button
  • The green ring represents the remains of the old button and the red ring represents the button housing which the button is clipped to

  • Push the button in firmly once lined up. It should not take too much force.
