Hi, Any idea's, 1 doorbell, 4 chimes, 2 transformers, 1 of the chimes works from 1 transformer (now not working) & the other 3 works off another transformer. So one of the chimes have stopped working. I checked the voltage on the secondary side of transformer & this was o.k & voltage at the chime was o.k. So I am presuming the chime is broken. I didn't think you could run bell transformers in parallel.
 
your primaries are wired in parallel. you can parallel as many chimes as you want, up to the load capacity of the transformer.
