Blink Doorbell Chime Not Ringing: How to Fix It

Q: Why does my Blink doorbell send notifications but not ring the chime?

This typically happens when the doorbell is receiving power and connecting to WiFi properly for app notifications, but isn't properly wired to your mechanical chime system or the chime kit isn't installed correctly.

Q: Do I need a special chime kit for Blink doorbells?

Yes, Blink doorbells require a chime kit (usually included) to work with existing mechanical chimes. The kit ensures proper voltage regulation and prevents damage to your existing chime.

Q: Can I use Blink doorbell without existing doorbell wiring?

Yes, Blink offers battery-powered doorbell options that don't require existing wiring. However, you won't be able to use your existing mechanical chime without proper wiring connections.

Q: What voltage does Blink doorbell need for the chime to work?

Blink doorbells typically require 16-24V AC from your doorbell transformer for both the device and chime to function properly. Lower voltage may cause chime issues.

Abstract

When your Blink doorbell chime isn't ringing, you're typically getting app notifications but missing the traditional mechanical chime sound. This usually happens because the doorbell isn't properly connected to your existing chime system or the chime kit isn't installed correctly.
