Have you a multimeter? Can you actually measure the a.c. voltage on the bell coils when it's meant to be ringing? What's to say the bell hasn't gone O/C or simply developed a mechanical fault between it ringing successfully earlier and now? Or you have a duff adaptor?

Is the hammer and armature free to move?
