Check the batteries to ensure they aren't depleted or corroded. Clean the clock mechanism and remove any dust or debris that might be causing friction. Ensure the clock is properly leveled as an uneven surface can disrupt its function. If it's a mechanical clock, make sure it's adequately wound. If none of these solutions work, consult a professional as there might be an internal issue.
