A quality cuckoo clock can be a welcome addition to any home. Their antique design and familiar chiming create an atmosphere of warmth many homeowners appreciate. However, Tic Toc Shop in Mason, OH, knows that because they're antiques, cuckoo clocks can sometimes be a little tricky to maintain.

If you're going crazy because your cuckoo clock has stopped, relax — Tic Toc Shop can help! Here are a few of the most common cuckoo clock problems and how to fix them:

  • No Music: If you've just unpacked you clock and realized it's not playing music, there are a few things you can do to make sure it's working properly. First, check to make sure the clamps have been removed from the bellows inside the clock. You should also look to see that the night shut off switch hasn't been activated for some reason during transport.

    Clock Runs Too Fast: If your cuckoo clock runs too fast — or too slow — it's likely a problem with the pendulum, which controls the clock's timing mechanism. To correct the problem, simply move the pendulum up or down accordingly (it may take a few tries to get it exactly right).

  • The Clock Stops: Cuckoo clocks are very sensitive to balance; being off balance can cause them to stop. If your clock isn't running properly, be sure it's evenly placed upon the wall and check to see it has an even "tic-toc" noise by listening to it. If not, you may need to adjust it.

These are just a few of the most common cuckoo clock problems. For more information, or if you're in need of antique clock repair, contact the clock restoration experts from Tic Toc Shop today at (513) 922-0315. You can also visit them online.
