![]() If the cuckoo will not go into striking mode is caused by resistance. Putting a bend in this wire so its sort of a hump instead of straight will be the same thing as making it shorter. The solution is to make the door wire shorter or put a bend in it. With the bird door open too much it will not be able to start the cuckoo strike. If this wire is too long it will try to open the bird door too much. It will only cuckoo if the bird arm is able to be all the way forward with no resistance. The intent is for it to open the cuckoo door only and not hit the front of the clock case. Therefore it hits the front of the clock case instead of in a position where it just opens the door. The arm that the bird rests on could be bent in a way that it is trying to go forward too much. If the bellow tops are broken or torn it can cause this to happen also. These just get bent this way or that way so they can go up and down with the bellow tops. During the travel up to lift the bellows they could be hitting each other and creating resistance. On a new cuckoo clock movement install you have to bend the lift wires so they do not get caught up on each other. This is the side that pull to raise the weight on the other side of the chain loop.

Not all cuckoos have this feature as the manufacturer, silence the cuckoo just by locking the bird door. See a lever on the right as facing the back of the movement on the top side. Just look at the back of the clock with the back panel off and may see the silence switch. If the movement has a silence switch that does not stick outside of the case it may still be on the movement itself. ![]() Just move it to the opposite direction and see if the clock will strike out the cuckoo calls. Push it down for cuckoo on and up for cuckoo shut off usually. The location of this would be on the side of the cuckoo clock movement and stick outside of the clock case. There may be a silence lever if the cuckoo movement has one. Be sure it is out of the way so the door can open and it can cuckoo. You just turn it either in the way or out of the way of the door. This closes and locks into place.This is for either shipping the clock and also for chime shut off. Here are some guidelines on what to check in this situation.
