Just bought a used Daniel Dakota Westminister wall clock and it does not chime.
To calibrate the Daniel Dakota Westminster Chime clock, first wind the clock fully. Then adjust the time to 5 minutes before the desired time and let the clock chime. You can fine-tune the clock by adjusting the minute hand to the exact time when the chime sequence ends. Repeat as needed until the chime matches the correct time.
To set the volume on a Daniel Dakota Quartz Westminster Chime clock, locate the volume control knob or switch, typically found on the back or side of the clock. Turn the knob or toggle the switch to adjust the chime volume to your desired level. If your model has a specific setting for silent operation, ensure it is not activated if you want the chimes to sound. Always refer to the user manual for model-specific instructions.
Oh, dude, resetting a Daniel Dakota Westminster chime clock to chime on the hour is like a walk in the park. First, you gotta locate the time adjustment knob on the back or inside the clock. Then, just turn that knob clockwise until you hear the chime strike the correct number of times for the hour. Easy peasy, right? Just make sure to double-check the time so you don't accidentally wake up at 3 a.m. to a full-on concert in your living room.
To set the time on your Daniel Dakota Westminster wall clock, locate the adjustment knob or lever, usually found on the back of the clock. Turn it to move the hands to the correct time. For the chimes, there may be a separate setting or switch to toggle chime functions; consult the user manual for specific instructions on adjusting chime settings. Finally, ensure the clock is wound properly if it's a mechanical model.
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.
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.

I would call a jeweler or clock repair shop. They should know.
