Cuckoo Clock Repair
our cuckoo clock time train is composed of a
set of wheels which gear into each other, providng the power necessary
to operate the pendulum. The weight is hooked onto a chain, which enters
a hole in the bottom of the cuckoo clock, then loops around the sprocket
wheel, then exits another hole. Check and make sure the chain is properly
looped around the first wheel sprocket by slowly pulling up the weight.
If the chain is correctly engaged which the sprocket wheel, you will hear
a clicking sound as you pull the weight up. If it's off the sprocket,
the chain will be difficult to pull, you will not hear a clicking sound,
and the weight will rapidly fall when you release the chain. If the weight chain
has fallen off the wheel sprocket, you can repair the problem by removing
the cuckoo clock movement, then looping the chain back onto the wheel
sprocket before reinstalling the movement. You can also solve the problem by taking the back cover
off your cuckoo clock, turn the cuckoo clock upside down, grab hold of
both chains, and while looking at the sprocket wheel, dangle the chain
loop around the wheel, then pull both ends of the chain, causing the chain
to firmly wrap around the sprocket. While holding the chains firmly at
the base of the cuckoo clock case, upright the clock. This takes some
degree of dexterity and patience, but if your sucessful, it will be a
lot faster then the first method.
