Problem Description
If the chime does not ring, the doorbell may be paired incorrectly or the chime volume is muted. This guide re-pairs the chime and restores sound.
Why This Happens in Real Homes
If the chime does not ring, the doorbell may be paired incorrectly or the chime volume is muted. This guide re-pairs the chime and restores sound. In day-to-day use, this usually looks like Button press sends app alerts; Chime silent; Chime LED off.
Most cases trace back to Chime not paired; Chime volume muted; Do Not Disturb enabled. The fix works best when you go step by step instead of changing multiple settings at once.
A practical order for this issue is: Check Power -> Re-Pair Chime -> Adjust Volume -> Disable DND. After each step, test the exact behavior that was failing so you can confirm what actually solved it.

Tools & Requirements
Step-by-Step Solution
Check Chime Type in Wyze App
Open the Wyze app, go to your Doorbell Pro settings, and check the Chime Type setting. Select the correct option: Mechanical (if you have a traditional ding-dong chime), Electronic (if you have a digital chime), or None (if using the Wyze Chime accessory or app notifications only). The wrong chime type setting can prevent the chime from ringing when the doorbell is pressed.
Verify Doorbell Wiring and Transformer
The Wyze Doorbell Pro is a wired doorbell that connects to your existing doorbell wiring and chime. Check that the transformer provides 16-24V AC with at least 30VA. An underpowered transformer may power the camera but not have enough power to activate the chime. The transformer is usually located near your electrical panel or in a utility closet.
Check Chime Wiring
Verify the wires are connected at three points: the transformer, the chime, and the doorbell. Open the chime cover (usually mounted on a wall inside the house) and check that the wires are securely connected to the Front, Trans, and Rear terminals. Loose wire connections at the chime are the most common cause of a doorbell that works as a camera but does not ring the chime.
Test the Chime Directly
Disconnect the chime wires from the doorbell and briefly touch the two wires together. If the chime rings, the chime and transformer are working and the issue is with the doorbell's activation circuit. If the chime does not ring, the chime itself or the transformer may be defective. Test the transformer voltage with a multimeter at the chime terminals.
Use the Wyze Chime as Alternative
If your existing mechanical chime is incompatible or too old, Wyze sells a plug-in WiFi chime that plays a sound when the doorbell is pressed. The Wyze Chime connects via WiFi and does not require doorbell wiring to the chime. Plug it into any wall outlet and pair it with the Doorbell Pro through the Wyze app.
Quick Solutions
Still having issues? This is usually the deeper cause below.
If this comes back after following these steps, check whether a recent app or firmware update reset a default setting — the fix works, but the setting gets reverted silently.
Plug the chime into a central outlet for a stronger signal.
This issue almost always looks more complex than it is — the majority of cases trace back to a single setting, a stale credential, or a default that shipped wrong.
