Howard miller wall clock (612-477)

The clock keeps great time but hasn't played the chimes for quite some time and I miss them. One of the hammers(the one on top when the clock is laying on its face) moves freely but the one behind doesn't move at all. I know nothing about clocks but thought that it might be something simple. The battery has been replaced. I can hear the click sound when it reaches the 1/2 hour and hour mark but no chimes:( Thank you for any help you can give!

Mode Selection on 612-477

The selector to choose between Strike (one tone) and Bim-Bam (two tones) may also be in Stike selection, hence only one hammer is activated.

Stuck chime

If you hear the click, the electronic part of the movement is working correctly. The problem may be that it is just stuck, but most likely it is a plastic gear that is either worn out or cracked.

Most times, I just replace the entire movement since it is very hard, if not impossible to buy a replacement part for these movements.
