It won't work...now what do I do? Based on positive reviews I purchased the Extend-a-Chime and it won't work. I get no sound.

Mine worked just fine out of the box after I instaled the wires to my current alarm. I suggest you check to make sure the batteries are installeld correctly. I do not remember if there were toggle siwtches that need to be set to make it work but I think not. Check to make sure you installed the wires corrrectly in your current alarm. Absent that working, call the help number on your installation document. Good luck. I love mine.

Mine works but not very well - it dings with the door bell. I have it in my basement when someone goes to the front door it seems to work ok. Don't believe I could recommend it though.

Mine does not work either. Turns out the transformer for my bell is 10v 5a, the transmitter instructions says it needs 16v 10a. You can buy a new 16v chime and transformer kit for under 20$... or get a completely wireless setup instead.

Yikes! Mine still works. Contact the seller - they should be responsive. Good luck!

I just returned mine to Amazon, as it failed to work, right out of the package.It never did work, and a lot of people are saying that. Buy a different one.

extension cord is fine. However, remember the chime unit is also a radio receiver. It gets signal when the button is pushed. Make sure your "receiver" is getting a signal.....that is to say it may not work if moved too far from transmitter or if signal must pass thru several walls

The problem I had was not lack of sound, but it won't turn on when I plug it in. There must be a short in the electrical wiring on my unit. I did have sound when I began using it -- nothing great, no Bose equipment. I'm sorry, but I think this is junk. I don't know what to do with it. I will find a place that recycles electrical appliances and give it to them. Alison

Send it back. Lots of advice to try this and try that, will only work this way or only work that way. Bottom line based on my personal experience is that it doesn't work. Unfortunately a lesson I learned too late since I didn't start using it right after purchase.

Make sure it lays flat, or has room to lay flat. My windows have a bump so I cant even use mine. The chime is loud enough for an apt or small house, esp if you're a deep sleeper. If you have a house I would recommend either mult of these units or a different system all together.

Sounds broken to me. I tested mine before installing it and it worked fine.

No sound for this one. There is a version with BlueTooth that might respond differently.

It doesn't work. I have 15 ft from barking dog and he still barks like before. We have moved it, put in new batteries and everything. Save your money!

Make sure the wires aren't touching in the chime (where you connected the device). May need to rearrange them.

The only thing that makes it chime is its remote button. If it's going off by itself, (that has never happened to me), it could be dampness in the remote contacts, or a similarly patterned remote, like a garage door or something that is sending out a high frequency electronic signal (EMF). Change your DIP-switch pattern on the receiver and on the remote button. That info is in your instruction sheet. Other than that, I'd contact the manufacturer. I'm very pleased with mine.

Mine didn't work at all so I'd recommend buying something else. I thought at the price it was worth a try. It wasn't.

I am not familiar with the chime you mentioned, so in all honesty I cannot answer your question.
