Elgin Westminster Quartz Chime clock won't work

I have an Elgin Westminster Quartz Chime desk clock. New Battery, second hand won't work. How can I fix this?

  • Anonymous Mar 21, 2014

    Won't chime on every hour - just some of them.

    I had the same problem..and the clock movement had a worn away connection, on the circuit board, so a new battery would not help, you cant see the connection, its on the back side of the circuit board, so you have to replace the movement part of the clock, sorry to say this..

IF I GATHER CORRECTLY , YOUR CLOCK HAS TWO BATTERIES, ONE AT BASE AND ANOTHER ON THE BACK OF THE UNIT. THE ONE ON THE BACK OF THE UNIT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CLOCK'S FUNCTIONALITY AND I THINK THE BATTERY AT BASE IS FOR THE ROTATING BALLS ( PENDULUM ). SO OPEN UP THE BACK IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE SO, AND REPLACE THE BATTERY. CAREFULLY THOUH AS THERE RE TWO SCREWS ON TOP AND A SNAP AT CENTER BOTTOM WHICH YOU COULD EASILY BREAK IF YOU DO NOT DO IT WITH CARE. OPEN UP THE SCREWS FIRST AND GENTLY USING A SCREW DRIVER PUSH BACK ON THE SNAP HOLE TO FORCE IT UPWARDS AND INWARDS. IF NONE OF THIS MAKES SENSE THEN WE ARE LOOKING AT TWO DIFFERENT CLOCKS.

HOPE THIS HELPS.

How to fix the pendulum on an elgin quartz anniversary clock

I am unsure wha you mean by "fix the pendulum". If you mean it stopped swinging, there are two reasons: first check the battery and contacts. Remember, even a new battery can be bad, which is why new things come with warranties. The other thing is quartz movements usually don't last too long. If the pendulum is not swinging, and is correctly attached to the movement and the battery is good, then the movement has gone bad and you need a new one. Most all clock shops keep quartz movements on hand. If you are a do-it-yourself type, you can get them off the Internet. Be sure to remove the old one first and check how thick the dial is, that's how they sell them by dial thickness.

MINUTE HAND NOR THE HOUR HAND NOT ADVANCING AS THEY SHOULD. CLOCK STUCK AT 8:45 FOR DAYS, PENDULUM MOVEMENT OK. WHAT IS THE SOLUTION TO GETTING THESE BACK TO WORK? THIS IS ON A STRAUSBOURG MANOR...

without seeing the clock .....are you sure it isn't something as simple as the hands ( arms) detaching from the centre spindle which continues to turn but without the hands. Alternatively have the hands become stuck on something on the clock face or become intertwined themselves ? Very simplistic but all I have to offer...

I have an Elgin Westminster chime quartz wall clock (with pendulum). It uses a C-cell battery. It will not work at all. Please help if you can, since it has sentimental value to me. Don't know if...

I'm afraid you have to visit clock repair shop, as without close inspection it is not possible to say what's wrong with your clock.
