Learn how to fix a mantel clock that chimes at the wrong hour. This simple fix will repair a clock that chimes at the wrong time. This can commonly occur when your mantel clock is laid down on its back and the timing is offset.

1 Thing You Have to Understand First On most clocks you can turn the minute hand counter-clockwise but SOME clocks are not safe to be turned in that direction. For this reason, it's best to only turn your minute hand clockwise just to be safe.

The Simple Mantel Clock Adjustment The easiest way to adjust a mantel clock chime is to move the hour hand to the hour that the chime is striking. Make sure that the hour hand shaft is not too tight or else it will not turn. Most mantel clock hands are friction held. DO NOT BEND YOUR HOUR HAND, loosen the shaft if it will not turn freely.
Once you have synchronized the hour hand with the hourly chime, adjust the minute hand to set the clock to the correct time by moving it forward (clockwise) around the clock face. Allow the chime to strike at every quarter hour strike.
Mantel clock Chime Adjustment When your mantel clock chimes the wrong number of times, your chime is not synchronized time of the clock. To adjust your mantel clock chime, proceed with the following step:

ADJUSTING THE HOURLY CHIME

1. When your mantel clock chimes, count the number of times it chimes. This is what time your hourly striker is set to.
2. Move the hour hand to the hour indicated by the hourly chime (count the number of gongs at the hour).
3. Reset the time using the minute hand to the correct hour and the chime should adjust along with the clock hands as well.

ADJUSTING THE QUARTER CHIME

On most mantel clocks, you can simple remove the minute hand which is friction fit. You have to apply pressure on the tube and it will loosen. Once removed, re-install the minute hand at the correct time. From there you can rotate the minute hand to reset the time.

A worn chime cog wheel will not reset or advance the count. Unless you're good at making gears, you'll need a decent clock repair guy in your area.

With our old clock when the chimes got off, we would advance the clock hands 3 hours while NOT allowing the clock to chime any of the hours or half-hours.

I am hoping that you oiled it also? One trick I have found is to gently lift the hammers and release, sometimes the hammers will release and strike the chimes/gong. Do this 4-5 times and hopefully it will get it chiming for you again.

clocks chime the hour
what is the point of having a clock that chimes every 2 hours because you will not know how long it was from the last chime or be able to calculate the time between chimes

most chiming clocks only chime on the hour from 6 am to 9 pm
if it is a digital clock with a chimer the set it to 12 hour and not 24 hour
make sure that the chime has a good battery in the chime circuit and it is set to chime on the correct hour
If the statement made to you was correct then it would be chiming at night instead of the day

When you are setting your clock, when you go pass the hour you have to let the clock chime completely, if you do not do this you can damage the time sequence..You have to reset the chime cable or belt...but anytime you set your clock when you get to hour let it chime completely before continuing on...Try also going around with hour hand onetime and let it chime, if it will chime at all, if not you can get a manual download online. Clocks like yours has websites and support who can help you...I think it just needs the chimes reset.

Take the batteries out from the base, where the chime mechanism is. Wait till it gets close (20 seconds till) to a specific hour time, like 8:00 or 9:00, replace the batteries for the chime mechanism. And then count the chimes at the hour. If they are correct, you are set. If they are incorrect, turn the time back 15 minutes before the hour and bring it right back and monitor the chimes again. Hopefully this should fix it. Please post the results.
