Video Doorbell push too hot
We lost our Ring Video Doorbell last Saturday when we lost internet for a while. After rebooting the router everything came back except the Bell. We cannot seem to get it to re-connect however the bell push is very hot, we've just measured the temperature at 118F. This is a bit of a worrying. The transformer is at a normal temp, just the bell push. It's in a covered porch, facing west and currently not in direct sunlight. Is this a fault? It's only 7 months old.

Thanks Chelsea\_Ring for the reply. I have a slight issue that the Doorbell is on our house in the US and I'm in the UK, and I'd love to just phone support in the US but as you say with long waits because of Covid-19 that's going to make it hugly expensive. Then they're likely to say try this or do that or send it to such and such, which is a real issue. Is there an email address I can us to support, because they're going to need various details including probably to see my receipt from Novemeber 2019 when I purchased it and even the photo my property manager took of the temperature of the thing. I spent ages looking for an email address or better still an on-line chat option but have failed on both. Any suggestions?

3Morning Chelsea\_Ring, My property manager over in the US was eventually able to talk to US support and they've dispatched a replacement. We just had to co-ordinate a bit as everytime he tried to talk to them they'd send a verification code to me and I'd have to forward it back to him, but eventualy er got there. So hopefully a new unit will come in the next few days and he can fix it and we'll still be able to access the videos. It's now more important than ever with us not being able to visit our house for what look like months.
