    Just a guess…take a look in the cabinet under the kitchen sink? You will need to remove the pull-out rear wall of the cabinet.

    Check the door bell wire where it passes by the door hinge. Sometimes the wire gets pinched off at the hinge.

    Great you found it. The other wire to keep an eye on is the electric door lock. If just the entry door lock stops operating, it is the same issue. Of course, as you “fix” the broken wire, it gets shorter and has to bend even more causing it to fatigue again. At some point, you’ll need to splice in an extra length of wire.
