Recently the roller shade on my door was starting to have some issues. It's worked flawlessly for a long time but now I can't roll it up or down. The ball chain seems to get stuck on the gears when I move it in either direction. What I'm thinking is that the plastic teeth on the roller shade clutch has worn out which makes the chain get stuck.
So for this the fix is to replace the roller clutch with a new one. And in this video I'll show you how to replace it and where to order a new one. I was able to find an identical Rollease part which makes the repair easy! The first thing to do is take down the shade. It possible to leave it up but I think it's easier to do this clutch replacement on the floor.
On the Rollease clutch, I need to squeeze the tabs on the end clip to slip the main roll bar out of gear wheel. It might be hard to get your fingers in there but when you've done it right it'll pop right out. And now just remove the screws to unmount the old clutch from the top rail.
With this off the gear is free and I can slip the ball chain off of it. On the new Rollease clutch, I'm going to squeeze the tabs to take out the back cylinder like I did on the old one. For this repair I won't need it because I'm just going to use the old one that's already on the shade. The next step will be reattaching the chain. Just slip in the chain and make sure each bearing fits into a gear. At this point just reattach the clutch to the top rail of the roller shade.
And remember how I took out the center cylinder from the clutch? The reason why I didn't need it is because I'm just going to slip the old cylinder back on which is still attached to the rest of the shade. And that's pretty much it. After the roller shade has been reinstalled the chain movement is now really smooth.

Hi! Thanks for that. I have a roller shade similar that all the strings have broken and I need to know how to restring. Eye hooks and a few possibilities of how to do this so I am confused. Thank you!
Sorry your roller shade is broken! Regarding broken strings I’m not sure I know how to fix that! However when/if that happens to my shade I’ll be sure to make a tutorial if I ever have to do or figure out how to do that type of repair. Hope you find some instructions on how to replace your strings!
Ive seemed to break not only the clutch but also the cylinder that it attaches to, do you know where I could order a new cylinder/clutch?
good info! however, our patio chain-operated screens are mounted so high, I'm not able to reach the top even w/a tall ladder....any suggestions as to who to call for the repair? I know I need a new clutch
You might need to see if a window covering company can do your repair! It’s tough when things that need repair are out of reach. Replacing the clutch is easy. Now you need a longer ladder or someone who will do it. You’d probably have to take the shade down to make the repair easier. But I’m not a professional so sorry I’m not more help!
@digitalcamproducer I have the same problem and the exact same roller clutches as shown your video. Could you post the exact model/part number or link as the existing Amazon links are generic searches that only show models without the ‘base’ (with the screw holes).
Sorry I didn’t have a link the roller clutch with the screw base. I think I got mine on eBay. Here’s a link to the standard size clutch: www.ebay.com/itm/253212583124?hash=item3af4a564d4:g:zXgAAOSw-jFZ5dLV
This info not help full to people with standard pull type window shades ; who need replacement ends !
Yes I understand what you’re saying. This video is specifically for Rollease brand clutch repair. Hopefully you find a tutorial for the type of shade you have!
