If your doorbell keeps ringing or buzzing continuously, the button is likely stuck or the wiring is shorted. Fixing it quickly can prevent transformer damage.
A doorbell that won’t stop ringing usually has a button stuck in the “on” position or a wiring issue that keeps the circuit closed.
Quick Answer
If your doorbell won’t stop ringing, disconnect the button immediately, clean or replace it, and check for wiring issues.
