What it usually is
A wired doorbell fails at the button, the chime or the small transformer. A video doorbell fails from dead batteries, weak WiFi or a low-voltage supply problem.
What to do first
Replace the batteries in a wireless or video doorbell and check the app connection. For a wired bell, do not open the transformer, which can be hooked to household power.
The flat rate that covers it

Hilltop is an older Tacoma neighborhood of early and mid-1900s homes, small apartment buildings and newer infill. In Hilltop, a mix of old and new work on the same street means supply and drain pipe can be very different from one house to the next.
