All clocks, to include Kit Cat, Owl, French Poodle, Teddy Bear, and Panda Bear clocks, need to be serviced on a regular basis. The clock's operating environment affects its servicing needs, but I think every 4 to 6 years is a reasonable interval. Servicing prolongs the electric motor's useful life, saving you repair expense. As owner of one of these clocks, you can either do this service yourself or you can have me do the servicing for you. If you want to do this project yourself, I offer a 6-page, well-illustrated Kit Cat Clock Service Guide to assist you.
Do I really mean that the clock owner can do this servicing? Yes, many do! And you, too, can learn to disassemble your clock, clean and lubricate it, then reassemble all its parts, saving yourself some money! However, if you are not eager to try this, trust your instincts. Many people try servicing their Kit Cat clock(s) to save money, find out there is more to it than they thought, then end up sending me all the parts in a plastic bag with a note "Please put my clock back together for me." There still hasn't been any harm done, but learning has occurred! CLICK HERE
