I'm hoping there is an expert in the house. Normally I slide the window up and it stays up. Now it just drops back down. There is a metal coil inside the frame (both sides) that may be the problem but I don't know how to fix it. Thanks for any advice.

there should be a counterweight (or a Spring?) behind the frame that should hold the window up. When I bought the house and we had 35 year old windows, some of the windows had this problem, but instead of fixing them, since we had some rot, ad replaced and used energy efficient windows.
looking at your windows, it seems they are vinyl or fiberglass and I think the principle is the same but I am not sure how you would open the frame to replace the broken spring. maybe search for clues on YouTube?

Special, good video (the first).
I was going to try to explain that by typing a whole bunch of words. That video did the job succinctly…

Thank you for the videos. It showed the problem very well. Mine is busted and will need a replacement part. Thanks again.

Damn.
Same old, same old... Can't see the video because of 2min ads that can't be skipped. uBlock, adBlock, adBlockPlus seem to welcome them in. Reloading only gets more My friends laughed when I drank cold water to lose weight... and reloading got the same ad but with My friends laughed when I drank warm water... |
