SINGLE FIX WINDOW: REPAIRING SASH CHANNEL BALANCE

I thought I update my video for the folks needing help fixing the single fix window on the left and right sides of a XO (non-tilt) window.
The parts can be found at:
www.swisco.com...
Make sure you get the right numbering on the channel balance (sash) before purchasing the replacement part. Both channel balances are recommended to be purchased at the same brand so the window will close evenly together.
If you like this video, please help with a thumbs up so other people can watch the video. Please help post a comment to help others with a similar issue.
Thanks for watching.

You have the best video of anyone by far. You didn't waste anyone's time like some of these other KZbinrs. Thank you for sharing your wisdom

[@netman88]

Wow, thank you!

[@cornercarverfan]

Agreed - short and to the point! Thank you for saving me hundreds to call out a window repair company.

[@itsminnie999]

Exactly what I needed! Thanks!

[@netman88]

You're welcome!

[@TheStevage]

I watched about five videos before yours and yours was easily the best. Thank you for the video because it helped me fix two windows in my house.

[@wendyjones3533]

I haven't put it back together yet, buI I know it will be way simpler than I was trying to do for hours. Perfect way to be able to wash 2nd story windows. So glad I watched this video, what a great guy! I do them once a year and forget every time how to do it. Getting older and the brain not working so good! Thank you so much,

[@Eeklex]

Very instructive in showing how the channel balance works. I’m adding this comment just in case anybody comes here after creating a “won’t stay open” problem after removing and replacing a window for cleaning (as I did). In my case, I had neglected to the bottom notch into the right hand sash. Once I half-pulled the window out to line up the left and right balance, it was an easy matter to get the window back into both sides and working correctly. Thanks.

[@netman88]

Thanks for sharing!

[@rossiphillips2395]

Great video! My problem was that the window wouldn't lock. Now that I know how a window sash works I realized that is the problem with the window not closing enough to lock. Thank you!

[@netman88]

You're welcome!

[@RickLeBlanc-u7b]

Excellent video. Slowly and carefully explained what I needed to know to get my window out, replace the springs, and get it all together again.

[@BoldFlavorVegan]

[@netman88]

[@netman88]

Glad it helped.

[@daywalker5458]

Excellent video guy!!! I have some 30-year old I believe Pella windows where the channels have fallen to the bottom of the sash and your video provide guidance for the fix. I'll tell you, I have neigbors who have experienced te same issue and they had all their windows replaced to the tune of $10,000 to $18,000. OUCH!!! I'll tried your fix fiest on my windows that are otherwise fine. Hope I can find the proper channels for my old 1990 vintage windows....

[@netman88]

Thanks, I've posted the link in the description where I purchased the channel balance.

[@jeannemyers489]

[@netman88]

You are so welcome!

[@TheBabesapink]

Thank you. Time to see if I can fix my window now…

[@mrPac310]

Thx for this video, very helpful. Do you know what I can do if the Sash/window balance is missing the number?

[@netman88]

There should be a sash on the left and right. Maybe check the other side if it has a number. Best to replace in pairs to match.

[@smashsmash5866]

Thanks for sharing. I am trying to paint the outside frame from the inside, having the bottom piece attached is pain to paint. I was searching to see how to remove it and your video is the best for how to.

[@netman88]

Glad I could help

[@Pattwon]

[@darrelljernigan3241]

Outstanding video and thank you.

[@netman88]

Very welcome

[@c-qc-q2021]

It would be helpful to guide the viewer on how to order a suitable replacement balance. Like record the old 3/4 digit number, measure the width of the balance, take a pic of the header and footer plastic pieces, and measure the depth of the footer.

[@tonyyiamkis155]

Hi, good video, however your window is missing the metal channel take out clip on the right side to be found on swisco window parts online. My house house has 10 window that use the middle of the channel white plastic take out clips , and one top of the channel (like yours) metal take out clip that has two horizontal slots that the tabs fit into (they do not interchange). Thank you for leading me to two different types of take out clips.!

[@robwinters6097]

You did a great job on your video! Thank you 👍 If the string is broken, can it be replaced or do I need to replace the entire balancer?

[@netman88]

Not easy to replace strings. I would replace the whole thing. Thanks

[@Ejayeric]

Great, I appreciate this video 👍🏼

[@netman88]

No problem 👍

[@tommytran4709]

Thanks for your video n easy fix.

[@KJ-tq3sm]

Mine swings out but great video

[@goswedego]

Great explanation!

[@netman88]

Thanks

[@Phantom.1]

Nice job!

[@netman88]

Thanks!

[@FPSKole]

One of the sides, the hook was attached to the top of is, really trying to see if that matters at all lol

[@RonaldMoore-ug7bd]

Thank you fam,, 💯

[@netman88]

Any time

[@timothy2088]

Unfortunately for me the bottom plastic cap on the bottom of the channel balance that extends to the left away from the balance absolutely refused to let me seat the right side bottom of the window in the channel. Tried switching the balances to opposite sides of the window - same issue. Going to check other videos ... hopefully someone else had same problem. CHECKED ANOTHER VIDEO AND FOUND OUT THIS VIDEO LEFT-OUT USING THE CHANNEL LOCKS IN THE CHANNELS TO LOCK-IN THE TOP OF THE BALANCE (be sure to press the channel locks back-in after you drop the window all the way down).

[@netman88]

Thanks for sharing

[@deonnotdunking]

Thank you

[@netman88]

You're welcome

[@ShonWick_75]

Thank you!!!!!

[@netman88]

You're welcome!

[@ShonWick_75]

@netman88 I thought the window was straight broken, popped it out, and reset that rail, and we are good!!!

[@charlesmoran3146]

No we are going out in a few minutes

[@tlucignani]

You said your rope was broke but your not showing how to fix it? Confused

[@netman88]

Not worth the trouble to fix the rope in my case.

[@fernandovitela4034]

Where did u buy replacement parts

[@netman88]

Please see description. I posted the info in there.

[@fernandovitela4034]

Amazon or ebay

[@fernandovitela4034]

Didn't say where

[@netman88]

The link is in there. Here's it also: www.swisco.com/cl/Replacement-Sash-Support-Channel-Balances

[@AnnoyingCritic-is7rp]

Should really tell thieves that they can just move the window over instead of breaking it.

[@netman88]

Easier said then to do.

[@Hotterdotcom]

This helps me tremendously!! Thank you sir ! 😊

[@netman88]

Glad to hear that!
