The $23,000 German clock in Anzac Park has been plagued with problems since it was installed in 2013, but Mosgiel Taieri Community Board chairman Bill Feather believes all the gremlins are now gone.
The original clock had worn out and was leaking.
The new clock was a gift to the Mosgiel community from its Rotary clubs.
Soon after it was installed, Mosgiel residents noticed the digital display was overstating temperatures by up to 10degC.
It was determined the temperature-sensing probe had been installed incorrectly - it was in direct sunlight, so as soon as the sun hit it, it heated well above air temperature.
The probe has been moved into the shade.
More recently, it was discovered the analogue clock had changed to daylight-saving time, but the digital display had not and was running an hour behind.
Mr Feather said the clock's analogue and digital displays were set to update automatically, but the digital display seemed to have malfunctioned.
Its maintenance was the task of Graeme Downes, former owner of Downes Showcase Jewellers in Gordon Rd, which supplied the clock.
In May, the shop changed hands to Mark Pearson and Lianna MacFarlane, but responsibility for the clock's upkeep did not.
While the clock was not owned by the council, the parks and reserves department was contacted and an electrician was sent to fix the automation function last week.
''It was a simple repair job. It should run perfectly from now on,'' Mr Feather said.
