Do it yourself. There is no need for any repairs - you just have to put the chain back on wheel. Take a look on another chain in the clock and put the slipped chain back on wheel exactly in the same way as another chain. Use tweezers to reach the chain.

    Hi, I bought a cuckoo clock from Black Forest area, Germany in the year 2006. Initially when I mounted it on the wall it was working. But once I unmounted the clock for house cleaning and when I remounted the same it was not working. I am not familiar with clock and know not what has gone wrong with the clock. Can someone suggest who can help me get the clock checked or repaired (if needed). Thanks for your assistance.

    There can be very many reasons why the clock is not working and without personal inspection it is not possible to say what exactly is wrong with it. I suggest you type in your search bar CLOCK REPAIRS IN (your area name) and bring the clock to the clock repair shop for closer inspection.
    Rate me, please.

The easiest way is to remove the larger link/hook from either end of the chain and then place the clock upside down,and open the back of the clock and then put the chain through the hole on the side that the weight hangs on. Then guide the chain onto the wheel with the large teeth, and then turn the clock on its side so the end of the chain will fall around the wheel and then with a screw driver carefully turn the wheel and then turn the clock right side up as you turn the wheel and the chain will follow around the wheel. Finally pull the chain through the other hole.

BOUGHT AN OLD GER CUCKOO CLOCK. ITS A REGULATOR STYLE. ONE CHAIN WORKS BUT THE OTHER PULLS THEN SLIPS, AND WONT HOLD THE WEIGHT.DO I TAKE IT OUT OF THE CASE AND LOOK AT IT SIDEWAYS?CANT SEE PULLEYS

Probably a minor problem, but a gear must be jammed, that allows the chain to go up & down.. See if you can see with a pinpoint flashlight before you disassemble the workings.. write down what you take out as you do it. Make a diagram, & reassemble.

Cuckoo and action doesn't work

Is this a mechanical cuckoo, or an electronic? If mechanical, probably the strike mechanism is jammed. You might barely, HEED: just barely pull on the weight a tiny bit and see if this does anything. If not, time to get it serviced. If it is an electronic cuckoo, check batteries and contacts.

My clock will only run with added weight on the clock chain. I added the cuckoo bird weight to the clock weight chain and it keeps good time. If I remove the added weight it will stop.

I think your clock needs to be lubricated. A special light weight oil in a syringe will do the job. Just a little bit will Do.

I have a cuckoo clock . Time is 11 and the cuckoo chimes 8 times . What do I do? It's a non mechanical clock

If the clock is chiming like this it means that the hour hand is out. GENTLY loosen the hands, place the hour hand on the hour that the clock has chimed then fasten the hands in place. Gently move the minute hand clockwise Only, and check each hour that it strikes right. If the cuckoo has a button at the back use that instead. For more information email me at [email protected]

Timing is off bad on the cuckoo part of the clock. It won't stop and runs till the weight hits the ground.

We had the problem with ours when I was a kid. What we did on ours was to turn the hands until the clock cuckoos. Then we removed the hands from the stem and placed them back at the correct time. Hopefully, you can remove the hands from the stem without a problem. Don't force it however. Good luck.
