Why do clocks stop working?
Why do clocks stop working?
When battery operated clocks stop working, it’s usually caused by one or more of the batteries. Either a battery has lost its charge, or battery acid has leaked, causing corrosion. Repair of a battery operated clock typically comes down to the batteries and the battery compartment, making the fix simple.

What kind of battery does a Waterford clock take?
Duracell D377 battery
We recommend powering your clock with a Duracell D377 battery.
Why has my pendulum clock stopped working?
The reason a clock pendulum often stops swinging, after being moved, is because the clock case now leans at a slightly different angle then it did at its former location. Don’t worry about making your clock absolutely level with the floor and don’t use a level. A clock that is “out of beat” sounds like tick..
What happens to the clock when the engine is turned off?
The clock relies on a constant flow of electricity from the battery to keep it running, even when the engine is turned off. If that connection is ever interrupted, the clock will reset — just like unplugging a digital clock from a wall socket. Start by checking the connections at the battery terminals.
What can I do if my clock is not working?
Try holding the clock face down to test the last. You may need to replace the motor and you can pick those up cheap at any craft store. Check the hands of the clock. It could be possible that they are too close to each other and getting ‘hung-up’ on each other, therefore not reflecting the correct time.

What causes a spring driven clock to stop working?
Trouble shooting your spring driven clock movement. In many cases the complaint with a mechanical clock is that it stopped working after it was moved. This is usually from someone moving the clock without taking the pendulum off and this puts the clock out of beat.

Why does the pendulum on a clock stop working?
The point is, to keep the pendulum totally free from obstructions because it uses its own weight and momentum to help keep the clock running. If it bumps anything, even slightly, then it loses some momentum and the clock will eventually stop.
Why are the pivot holes on my clock not working?
If the old oil dried up, then this would cause too much friction for the clock to run with the weights power. Clean out the old oil and check for excessive wear at the pivot holes. Pivot holes are explained in another section.
