Why does my grandfather clock not chime anymore?
If you have three weights on your grandfather clock and the weights are not moving, the clock is not going to chime or keep time. 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.
What do you do when your grandfather clock stops chiming?

Then turn the minute hand backward (counter-clockwise) to the previous quarter hour and then continue back (counter clockwise) an additional 5 minutes. Next, bring the minute hand forward to the starting place again.
