I just got a Bradford Exchange Purr-fect Moments Kitten Cuckoo Clock and the battery powered clock movement doesn't work. I need to get a new clock movement with the wire that connects it to the bird

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.

Hi, not much info on this clock specifically. This might help though :)


Instructions Quartz Cuckoo Clocks

There are several companies that sell that movement , just google clock movements and they have a chart with spec to match yours. I have replaced several in my time, its pretty easy

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]

I am not familiar with the product you have. However, if this is a genuine cuckoo clock, driven by weights, the weights must be "wound", weights pulled to the top of their travel. If this is electronic, I would be looking for a switch. There also may be a electronic eye that prevents the sound at night. Can the eye see the light?

If you just got it, and if my comments don't apply, I am sure a quick call to the Bradford Exchange will solve your trouble, whether it is a step you inadvertently over looked or if the device if fault. I am certain they will help you.

Thanks for your question @ FixYa.com

Everybody should know that the coaster clocks discussed here run on batteries. The timing mechanisms, the chimes as well as the pendulum all are powered by a battery. Changing the speed of the pendulum is impossible because there is no adjustment. Besides, it wouldn't matter anyway. The pendulum has now affect on the clock's ability to keep accurate time. It is purely aesthetic. This is a pretty cool looking clock and even has weights, but those are also purely aesthetic and do not move the way a classic grandfather clock weight would move. The moments with these clocks are not designed to be worked on. These clocks are relatively inexpensive (approximately $300) but do add a nice look to your home. Grandfather clocks snobs would say though; this is not a true timepiece. They're right... Sorry.

remove the batheries and then advance the mintue hand slowly until you hear a clicking noice then remove both the hour and minute hand and place both at 12 oclock high postion advance the minute hand again to confirm you hear the click noise when the minute hand is at 12 and the hour hand is at 1. then replace batteries and the clock should cuckoo properly on each hour,,,,,best regards

Sounds like it is just worn out.
Sometimes you can replace the generic clock works in these type of clocks. Go online and do a search for battery powered clock works, and see if you can match yours. They are removed quite easily after popping off the clock hands, and removing a nut under the hands that holds the clock works in the chicken.
Here's a link to a site that sells the clock movements... http://www.clockworks.com/

try to remove minute hand and replace back on shaft at a position 5 minutes earlier than what you removed it at
