Well done. I must admit that at first I thought this was going to be too wordy but I was wrong. Got right to the relevant points and covered them in sufficient detail with good images. Exactly the types of operators I have to replace and I wasn't sure about how to manage the track sliders.
Thanks for the play by play as this was extremely helpful when I replaced mine. Securing the elbow bracket was tricky if it wasnt in the fully open position like you had. Something always got in the way of the screw. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
Thank you so much for doing this video! Your step by step tutorial was so easy to understand … gave me the confidence to successfully replace the crank on my window! Thanks again!! ❤
@@cclin2 look on the window side when you open it. There should be some sort of a tag or label. from there contact the manufacturer for parts dor that window
Thank you!! I've been searching for clear instructions so I could tackle this myself. This video is the only one I've found that really helped me understand how these work!
Mine was loose and flung open violently during a windy night. The top seems to have disconnected and my window won't close. Its in a third floor window to make matters worse. Trying to figure out how I might be able to DIY fix it
Not only was the tutorial helpful but you and Rocky are very entertaining!! However, all my crank windows are 2nd floor and I'd need a really tall ladder to get to the outside but at least I know how involved this process is
Well, that can be the tricky part. Your best bet is to take it apart and bring it to a local window hardware store so they can match it and get you what you need. If you happen to be in the Chicagoland area, you can take it to Blaine‘s in Franklin Park. They have everything! Or you might be able to take pictures of what you have and send it to them. Give them a call. They are very helpful over there. Blaine Service & Supply blaineserviceandsupply.com 9626 W Grand Ave Franklin Park, IL 60131 United States
Thank you so, so much! I could not find any tutorial for an operator with dual arms and this one has helped me tremendously! I was able to replace the broken one even though the landlord had said that it could not be fixed. Duh! At least my window will be working properly now. Oh , and I love your dog! Rocky really rocks, yeah! 🤩
You would have to remove it, and bring it to a window hardware specialty store so they can match it.

Each windows is going to be a little bit different, so you’ll have to figure out a way to disassemble it to a point where you can get the window open to complete the project. Otherwise at that point you’ll just have to call a window technician in.

Thanks for the video
I have the same hardware and thanks to your video I was able to take it apart. Next challenge is to find the parts.
I have the same part too. Do you know where I can order the replacement part?

Where would one locate the correct replacement mechanism if you don't know the brand?

Wow - It’s like UA-cam reads my mind sometimes. 😁 This is just what I needed! Do you offer long distance help via Zoom or FaceTime? Thank you!!!
Thank you happy to hear the video was helpful!
As far as helping over Zoom or FaceTime at that point it would be easier to just hire a local handyman.
@@BJPoznecki If only it were that easy in Tennessee … 😂 But thank you!
How much is a new one?
@@mikemolotnik4052 I’m sorry, it was years ago I don’t remember.
that clip at 5:42 belongs to the sash the moving part, you can pop all that gear off without taking it off... no reason to take it off the sash.
I just replaced my window crank I just pop off pens
What if you can't open the window b/c the original crank is too busted... I feel like that's _most_ people who need to replace the mechanism ;)
Each windows is going to be a little bit different, so you’ll have to figure out a way to disassemble it to a point where you can get the window open to complete the project. Otherwise at that point you’ll just have to call a window technician in.
Sixteen minutes? Really?
Great for you that the windows is on the 1st floor. Shit doesnt work for me when it is on the 2nd floor.
