Just bought a used Daniel Dakota Westminister wall clock and it does not chime.
I have a Daniel Dakota westminster chime that chimes only during daylight hours. Original instructions said to set clock to 6:15 p.m. before inserting batteries (hard to tell which is pm or am.) I set the clock to 6:15 and insert the batteries. Then begin to turn the clock to set the correct time. If you clock has chime courtesy, when it reaches the evening and night hours, it will stop chiming on the hour, and will click instead. If you are setting the clock to a daylight hour when it should chime, then stop on the correct time while it is chiming. If it is an evening or night time, then set the correct time when the clock is setting. The worst case scenario is, if the clock is silent during the day, and chiming during the night, advance the time by 12 hours to reach the correct setting.
More than it was bought for
You're probably referring to the Westminster chime which is from the Westminster Tower in London....better known as Big Ben.
It depends on the clock; None of my clocks chime even once. A clock that rings the quarter hours (like the clock in the Palace of Westminster - aka, Big Ben) would chime 96 times per 24 hours. Some clocks only chime on the hours, which would be 24 chimes/day.
Probably a sticking door switch, give it some wd40. The switch should be where the door hinges.
The Howard Miller Company specializes in chiming wall and mantle clocks. August Schwer, Rombach & Haas and Robert Herr manufacture cuckoo clocks under the Black Forrest Cuckoo Clocks name. Cuckoo clocks are those where a bird appears through a small trap door in time with the hourly chime followed by twelve melodies (one for each hour).
