Aren’t you supposed to remove the lower unit?🤔 i see alot of others remove the lower and attach a garden hose to the pickup tube. So i am not sure. It makes sense since thats the flow of water usually.

Great video! Fixed a problem I’ve had for years in two minutes. Thank you sir.

Be nice if you took the handle off during the making of the video on how to take the handle off.

Thank you sir!!!!

Thank you!!!

I got lucky ,the guy who installed my house’s narrow line windows in the early 80s sealed up the ends of the sills with caulk sealant. All my frames are in excellent condition and only one sash is starting to get some rot witch I’ll cut out and replace. The price Anderson charges for sashes or there conversion kits are ridiculous. I don’t who the carpenter was because I didn’t build this house but I’d like to thank him for it .

Excellent! I have been racking my brains on ideas of how to do this. This is my solution.

OMG… thanks so much for this video! Felt completely lost when half the handle fell off. Literally went from 🤦‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️ to ✅ & fixed in less than 2 mins after watching this

I would take heads off and clean the passages so I know I gets vlean

Thanks so much, quick and easy. I used the side of a clipboard to knock the handle off.

Great idea! I like the table, but the knobs would be a much better option than the wingnuts. Thanks.

St bought one. I use a wheelchair so the ability to roll a but under it is critical and the slag tray is also critical. My use will be light so nit worrued about weight capacity. Im sure i will also be doing mods. Most likely making L knobs? For better grip due to the strength of my hands.

Exactly what I needed ! THANK YOU

Wow it worked great.. Thanks

Oh, that's how 😅

That's a great idea. I'm going to do that for my shower. Thanks!!!

Thanks for the video. I ordered the table, it's arriving tomorrow and the aftermarket knobs arrived today.

Omg dude I was beating on it with a hammer. Had my visegrips locked on and beating it upwards. It was a last ditch effort to release it. Next day I stumbled on this. 😲

I just bought used one. And that little bugger was not coming out with the screwdriver. I was thinking a puller would do trick basically you made one. Simple easy method thanks for sharing. Going give it a try.

Thank you!!!!

So I ended up removing the bottom piece of trim and drilling into the back of the rotted sill about every 6 inches or so. I injected Great Stuff foam in there, the regular kind, and shut the windows so it wouldn't bulge up and make them hard to close. Excess foam leaked out of the holes and I kinda massaged the foam around in the sill to keep it all even. In the end it worked like a charm! They are rock solid and I assume add some R value to the enclosure lol!

You can purchase a factory replacement sill direct from Andersen or Home Depot (much cheaper). Replacement is extremely easy - cost is about 35 dollars. The problem with these windows if the wood BEHIND the plastic channels - they also rot as they act like a straw over time. I was able to perfectly fabricate wood inserts that go up the bottom once you use a spade drill bit to remove as much rot as possible. Then you use a two part epoxy gun with Advanced repair tech epoxy to pump into the plastic channels then slide up to the fabricated wood into the outer channel of the frame within the vinyl. For the second part of the channel you have to fabricate another long piece cutting it into small blocks it looks like a square U. For each piece shoot a small amount of epoxy slide another until it fills the channel. Bottom piece cut the final piece to fit flush at 12 deg. Sounds ridiculous but it makes it a perfect repair and keeps the outer vinly frame rock solid Slide the new still in - block shim it with the included shims in the kit from Andersen and replace the jamb liners. I replace my liners to make the window as new as possible. You can order these from Home Depot as well for about 12-16 per piece. I've done at least 6 so far and they look like new. Sashes also go and can be repaired with Advanced Repair Tech epoxy or I replace both sashes. For side rot on the wood frame - chisel or grind it out and fill with advanced repair compound using acrylic pieces to make a perfectly flat and square repair with the channels for the jamb liners.

Good job

You are a life saver! Been struggling with that valve all afternoon . Thanks so much.

I bought this refrigerator in 2015 and the freezer door handle has been loose since. I couldn't figure out how to get the handle off and never spent much time worrying about it. I came across this video today, and in less than 2 minutes it was tight. Thank you!

Did someone count the number of turns of the (large) adjustment nut? If I start the nut on the stud, how many turns to make it back where it was? Please post a reply with that number. Thanks! (I didn't read James' comment about counting turns until after I had removed the nuts and spring.) ☹️

thank you will try it, mine is really tuck

thank you will try it, mine is really tuck

Hey James, I have the same issue with the Anderson sills at my house. Forgive me if this is a silly question, but are you concerned about mold growth inside the your garage or house? I’m assuming some moisture may have leaked down between your drywall or plaster and the exterior wall. Appreciate any insight you have.

I tried everything I knew and it would not release! I saw your video and said to myself... "Why didn't you think about that, dummy?" It worked like a charm!!! I do always use lithium grease when reassembling anything. Especially when different metals are involved!

Hope you got the spring set to the correct pressure after you screwed with the setting by removing the spring.

Amazing. I tried the looks so easy pry on the spring method shown on several posts. Right! It's frozen solid, not moving even after the "Blaster" treatment. Quit in frustration after a Long try. I'm going to use your hack tomorrow. I always squirt the pump saver in before storing it so quite surprised. Thank You for the great post!

That worked. Thanks

This is amazing

Thank you Mr. Morgan for posting this. This covered our situation perfectly.

This method worked perfectly!! Thank you! Straight and to the point.

Awesome thank you, mine is being a pain in the ass to remove. Yanked on it with large channel locks, etc. Going to give this a shot

Very clever. Thank you!

Thank you

Fantastic tip. Perfect solution for what is usually a VERY frustrating process. Thank you for this video. I've been looking at the list of your other videos and it seems like there are many great ideas to be found. I'll definitely be checking them out to gain more knowledge.

This video saved me a lot of trouble this afternoon - thanks so much !!!!

Thanks! Other videos directed me to the unloaded valve, but no way was it coming out. Perfect hack.

Those windows suck ass! I’m working on a large picture window that’s designed the same way:(

Thanks for this! Helped us tighten our handles today! ✔️

Great hack!!! I was about to take apart the undercarriage. Not anymore!!

So Nice 💘💘💘💘💘💘

Nice job. I wish all pipes and electrical wires had access panels.

Thank you so much for this video. Every other video has screws on the side to anchor the handle. I was losing my mind thinking I would never find help.

I have a similar handle and it's smooth on all sides. how to get it off? seeing the attachment mechanism here let me complete my hinge/handle reversal. thanks!

Thank you! Can you add a video that shows step by step what you did instead of explaining what you did after the fact?
