Before you pull out that can of WD40 (DO NOT USE WD40 ON ANY CLOCK), you really need to locate a qualified clock technician who will fully disassemble the movement and clean the pieces individually in an ultrasonic tank. This is usually caused by poor or no maintenance. The improper lubrication, or lack of, has become gummy or dry, which can easily prevent the movement from operating properly. Something has gone awry in the time train. Let’s look at the two most common scenarios where we see this happen.ġ) Grandfather clock had been running fine for months or longer in the same location and suddenly came to a stop: The middle weight is for the time train which runs the clock and if this one is not moving down, your pendulum is probably swinging for a few minutes and then slowly comes to a stop. The weight in the middle is not moving on my Grandfather Clock. If your chimes are starting for the first time in a while, it may take an hour for the chimes to sync properly so the chimes are correct to the hour and quarter hour. If your grandfather clock doesn’t have a chime on /off selector on the dial, look just below the dial for a rod hanging down which you may push up or pull down to start the chimes. Set this to “chime on” and your left and right weights will start moving downward over the course of a week. There is usually a lever on the side of the dial for chime on / chime off. If the weight in the middle is moving downward and the left and right weights are not, this simply means your chimes are turned off. Right Weight: powers the Westminster chime melody Middle Weight: powers the time train and keeps the pendulum swinging Left Weight: powers the hour strike and count Let’s look at the purpose of the three grandfather clock weights.
