What to do first
No fix is needed if the light appears when someone presses the doorbell.
- Confirm the light appears when the doorbell button is pressed.
- Check the Ring app notification if you expected an alert.
- Verify Wi-Fi connection if button presses do not reach the app.
- Check chime settings if your indoor chime does not sound.
- Inspect power or battery if the doorbell behaves inconsistently.
When this can be normal
This is normal when the Ring doorbell button is pressed.
When to stop troubleshooting
Stop and check Ring support if the light appears randomly or the doorbell does not register button presses.
Parts or products that may help
Only replace parts when the light pattern and official guidance support it. Some lights indicate setup or software states, not broken hardware.
- No replacement part is recommended from this light pattern alone. Troubleshoot the device state first.
