Bergen Enkheim Clock won't stop chiming. The pendulum does swing and it is would up.

If your wall clock is running but the pendulum is not swinging, it may be due to a few potential issues with the pendulum mechanism. Here are some steps you can take to repair the pendulum mechanism:

1. Check the suspension spring: The suspension spring is a thin strip of metal that hangs down from the top of the clock and holds the pendulum in place. Check to see if the suspension spring is properly attached to the clock and if it is straight. If it is bent or damaged, it may need to be replaced.
2. Check the pendulum leader: The pendulum leader is the part of the clock that connects the pendulum to the clock's movement. Make sure that the pendulum leader is properly attached to the clock and that it is not bent or damaged.
3. Check the escapement: The escapement is the part of the clock that controls the swing of the pendulum. Make sure that the escapement is properly lubricated and that it is not damaged or jammed. If it is damaged or worn, it may need to be replaced.
4. Check the beat setting: The beat setting is the adjustment that ensures that the pendulum swings evenly. Make sure that the beat setting is properly adjusted by moving the pendulum to the left or right until it swings evenly.
5. Check the weights: If your clock has weights, make sure that they are properly attached and that they are not obstructed or damaged.

If you've tried these steps and the pendulum still isn't swinging, it may be best to contact a professional clock repair technician for further assistance. They will have the expertise and tools needed to properly diagnose and repair any issues with your clock's pendulum mechanism.

It is a handsome longcase clock and rather elaborate - it would be disappointing to discover the weights and pendulum are merely decorative.

I have only encountered one similar clock and it had one battery to keep the pendulum swinging and another to power the clock. The battery had to be fairly fresh or the pendulum stopped swinging. The clock also had to be level or the pendulum stopped.

If you took the picture when the pendulum was stationary, the clock appears not to be standing vertically. It is important they stand vertically in both planes to the nth degree.
There is also a fable about a clock never being happy standing next to or hanging on an exterior wall, sometimes not such a fable...

I don't think the pendulum is the problem. I suggest you should level the clock (considering the shape of the case a plumbline would be best), fit a new battery and give the pendulum a swing - if it doesn't keep swinging, there is probably a fault with the motor.

It sounds like the drive spring might be worn. A Good clock and watch specialist will be able to overhaul and service the clock for you. It might cost you a bit more money but if it is a family clock it could be worth it.

probably find that the clock has it's own aa battery
the pendulum has it's own aa battery and the chimes have 2 aa batteries

Could be it needs cleaning or servicing though perhaps it isn't sitting perfectly level

The "old wives" tale of clocks failing to run reliably against an outside wall aren't unfounded.

I have same exact problem, did you ever find an answer?

I have a clock with a pendulum and it has two batteries, one for the clock and one for the pendulum.

Perhaps your is the same?

Stop the pendulum of the clock exactly at any even hour. Lets say at 6.00. While clock is steady and not working, pull off the minute and hour hands off the pinion, but do not brake them. You have to pull without any twisting action. This will leave pinions exactly in place they were when you stopped the clock. When it is done - push the hour hand back onto the pinion and make sure it is pointing at 4 (not 6, as it was when you stopped the clock). When hour hand is back in place and pointing at 4, push back minute hand as it was when you pulled it off - pointing at 12. Make sure hands will not catch when passing each other (you can bend them slightly if needed). Now swing pendulum to start the clock and adjust time (clockwise only). Never adjust time when clock is chiming. Rate me, plz.

First you have to wind up your clock using the key supplied. The pendulum suspension spring should start to swing quite fast. Stop it swinging with your fingers and hook up the pendulum. When done, push the pendulum to whatever side and release it to start the swing - the clock should start ticking in normal order. If there is no special bar on the back of clock movement for adjusting hands, then hands must be adjusted from the dial side by moving minute hand clockwise. Move the minute hand with your finger clockwise to the desired time, at the same time do not catch hour hand, as this may end up with the incorrect time displayed. Rate me, plz.

On mine, the center one (@the 6 position) is the one that keeps the pendulum swinging. It is the one that lengthens the most during the week and if I forget to wind it, that pendulum is all the way down when the clock stops.
