I think a photo of how you now have it wired would be helpful, so that we can check that everything is correct.

Also, if you have a multimeter, it would be a good idea to check the resistance of the bell motor (T4 to T16), which should be approximately either 1,000Ω or 4,000Ω (depending on its age).
