If your Ring Doorbell isn’t ringing inside the house, you’re not alone. This is a common problem that many people experience. There are several things that you can do to fix the issue and get your Ring Doorbell working properly again! In this article, we will discuss some of the most common solutions to this problem. We hope that this information will help you resolve the issue quickly and easily!
Ensure It Was Installed Correctly
If your Ring Doorbell isn’t ringing inside your home, it’s likely because of incorrect installation. If your Ring Doorbell was not installed according to the instructions, the issue can likely be resolved by simply following the proper installation procedures. You can find the installation instructions for your specific model of Ring Doorbell online.
If you are unsure about whether or not your Ring Doorbell was installed correctly, you can always contact customer support for assistance. [1]
Wi-Fi Connection
Another common reason that a Ring Doorbell will not ring inside the house is due to Wi-Fi connection issues. If your Ring Doorbell is not connecting to your Wi-Fi network correctly, it will not be able to ring
the chime inside your house.
There are a few things that you can do to try and fix this issue:
- Make sure that your router is turned on and working properly.
- Restart your Ring Doorbell by removing the battery for 30 seconds and then reinserting it.
- Make sure that your Wi-Fi network is working properly by trying to connect to it with another device (such as a laptop or smartphone).
- If you are using a 5GHz Wi-Fi network, try connecting to a 2.4GHz network instead.
- Move your Ring Doorbell closer to your router.
Wi-Fi Router And Its Placement
If your Ring Doorbell still isn’t ringing despite following the steps above, then the issue likely lies with your Wi-Fi router. The placement of your Wi-Fi router can have a big impact on the strength of the signal that your Ring Doorbell receives. If your router is too far away from your Ring Doorbell, the signal may be too weak for the Doorbell to function properly. Try moving your router closer to your Ring Doorbell and see if that solves the issue.
Power and Battery
One of the most common reasons a Ring Doorbell stops ringing is because it doesn’t have enough power. If your Ring Doorbell is hardwired, make sure the wiring is connected correctly and that the transformer is providing enough power. If your Ring Doorbell is battery-powered, check to make sure the batteries are charged.
Insufficient Power
If you have followed all of the steps above and your Ring Doorbell still is not ringing inside the house, the issue may be with the power supply. The power supply for your Ring Doorbell needs to be able to provide enough power for the Doorbell to function properly. If it is not, you will need to replace it with a new one.
Defective Battery
The first thing you should check if your Ring Doorbell is not ringing inside your house is the battery. A defective battery is a common reason why your Ring Doorbell might not be working properly.
To check if the battery is the problem, simply remove the faceplate of your Ring Doorbell and take out the battery. If the battery is completely drained, then that is most likely the reason why your Ring Doorbell is not ringing.
Just charge up the battery and put it back in, and your Ring Doorbell should start working again.
Ring Doorbell Not Ringing Your Chime
If your Ring Doorbell is not ringing your chime, the first thing you should check is the volume of your chime. The volume of the chime can be adjusted in the settings of your Ring Doorbell.
If the volume is turned down, then your Ring Doorbell will not ring the chime even if it is working properly. Just turn up the volume and see if that solves the issue.
Check the Wiring
If your Ring Doorbell is hardwired, then the first thing you should check is the wiring. Make sure that all of the wires are connected correctly and that there is no damage to the wires.
If everything looks good with the wiring, then the next step is to check the transformer. The transformer provides power to your Ring Doorbell, and if it is not providing enough power, then your Ring Doorbell will not work properly.
You can test the transformer by using a multimeter to measure the voltage at the terminals. The voltage should be between 16 and 24 volts. If it is not, then you will need to replace the transformer with a new one.
Enable the Microphone
If your Ring Doorbell is not ringing inside your house, then the first thing you should check is whether or not the microphone is enabled. The microphone can be turned off in the settings of your Ring Doorbell.
If the microphone is turned off, then your Ring Doorbell will not be able to detect when someone is at the door. Just turn on the microphone and see if that solves the issue.
Check The Doorbell Button
If your Ring Doorbell is not ringing inside your house, then the first thing you should check is the doorbell button. The doorbell button can become worn out over time and may need to be replaced.
To check the doorbell button, simply remove the faceplate of your Ring Doorbell and press the button. If the button does not click, then it is most likely the reason why your Ring Doorbell is not ringing.
Just replace the doorbell button with a new one and see if that solves the issue.
Ring Doorbell Not Ringing Your Phone
If you have this problem, it’s likely because the volume on your phone is turned down, or maybe even off. To fix it, just open up the Ring app and check the volume settings. Make sure the ringer is turned up all the way, and that Do Not Disturb mode is turned off.
If that doesn’t work, you can try removing the batteries from your Ring doorbell and then putting them back in. This will also reset the doorbell, and hopefully clear the problem.
FAQ
Why can’t I hear my Ring Doorbell inside my house?
There are a few reasons why you may not be hearing your Ring Doorbell inside your house. The most common reason is that the volume on your device is set too low. You can check and adjust the volume in the Ring app under ‘Devices’ > ‘Doorbells’.
Another reason why you might not be hearing your Ring Doorbell inside is if there’s an issue with the WiFi connection. If your internet is down or the WiFi signal is weak, this can affect the audio quality of the doorbell. Try restarting your router or moving closer to the doorbell to see if that improves the sound quality. [2]
In some cases, the chime box that came with your Ring Doorbell may not be properly plugged in or may not be receiving power. The chime box is what allows the doorbell to make a sound inside your house, so if it’s not working, you won’t be able to hear the doorbell. Check to make sure the chime box is properly plugged in and has power before troubleshooting further.
If you’ve checked all of the above and are still having trouble hearing your Ring Doorbell inside your house, contact Ring support for help.
