The problem is that if your neighbors also have wireless chimes and someone rings their doorbell your bell might also ring if it is on the same frequency. I did what you did when my doorbell went dead and regretted it later when the door would repeatedly ring and no one was there. Also I suspect they are susceptible to humidity changes. Every time a cold weather front would come though the bell would start ringing as well.

I god rid of it and hard wired it again. I hope this doesn't happen to you but talking to others with them I found out the wireless bells all seem to have these problems.
