power supply issues

i have burnt out 3 power supplies on my Ring door bell.

i have checked for short all ok untill i install door bell to base .

i am also using diode between terminals .

anyone have any ideas ?

If you are connecting Ring doorbell directly to a ~24vac transformer you need a 50 watt/ 25 ohm resistor.

One wire will go directly to one doorbell screw and the other in series with the resistor.

Pitch the diode.
