- The Channel Balance is a newer window load setup on newer homes with Andersen and Pella windows. These are on the left and right sides of a XO (non-tilt) window.
Version 2 with better video and audio: • SINGLE FIX WINDOW: REP...
When my first window in my home encountered an issue where the channel balance failed, I had a difficult time looking for a solution. After researching for a number of days, I finally was able to piece together what's the item name that I needed to purchase to repair my window but where shall I buy it from. There seem to be many different types in tension, size, and endpoint connectors.
So I thought this video may help to show the problems with the channel balance and how to repair it. Of course, you can always reach out to the window folks and they may charge a sum of dollars to fix it for you'll.
For those folks looking for a part, here's the one I found helpful in their support and selection. Note: it's easy to buy the wrong one, reference the broken one for reference before purchasing.

I really hope this helps someone out there. I had some bad video filming angles, pardon me for having not the best video.
Appreciate a thumbs up so others can view this video. Please let a comment to help others. Thanks.
I fixed my inoperable window due to your video in 15 minutes. Thanks a million!
Excellent!
Ha, I took off my first time window for cleaning. To my surprise when I reinserted window one of the channels popped up, I tried to remove window however the channel was stuck so I gave up. I closed window with channel up :(. Thanks to this video I gave it another shot and was able to slide channel out and redo the window. I figured my mistake the first time was I did not ensure both channels were in the window groove upon reinserting. Thank you!!
I had no idea how to remove these windows. You rock!!!
Glad to help. Thanks

Somehow both the channel balances on my window fell out. This video was exactly what I needed, thanks!
Thanks for your feedback.
Very helpful 👍🏽 Thanks 😃
very useful! thank you!!!
My string looks exactly like yours? But my husband and I still don’t know how to fix it? Do I need to buy another one? And what is it called? So I know
It’s called the cord. Depends on the price to find it.
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!! Such a simple fix but w/o I wouldn’t have stood a chance!
Thanks, that got me through my repair a lot quicker and easier than I thought.
Thank you. Replaced one today. Video nice and simple. Thanks
thank you. i replaced my windows balancers. your direction to reinsert the right side of window first was helpful.
Found a video that is just what I needed. My window exactly!! Thank you.
Glad to help.
Thank you soo much!!! Was having trouble finding this information!!!
My left channel balance fell out and was dangling beneath my window. Your instructions on how to reinstall it was all that I needed to fix it. Thanks!
Thank you for your video. It saved me money in window repair bills.
Thank you for posting the video. The string was stuck in the pulley/wheel.
Thank you soooooo much was really helpful
Right! They all break around the same time. So, I can buy a new channel balance, but do you have any suggestions for repairing or lubricating? I'm thinking of replacing the one that broke and seeing if I can repair/lubricate it because I need to do this for about 10 windows in my house that are really getting hard to push.
I think you want to replace these in pairs or it won't be balance in weight. My suggestion is take the good one and match with another window and make pairs that way. I don't know about repair. I'm not an expert on repairing the balance.
@@netman88 Thanks for this ... I was told by our inspector that our windows would need some lubrication 3 years ago when we bought the house and now they're pretty tight and can break. I'll keep doing research on this but maybe just buying new balances is the best way to go.
Very helpful, thanks so much. We have aluminum AWP, Can you say where you got the new balances?
thanks, I posted the vendor I used in the description. They were very helpful and answered my needs also.
Thanks
Thank you very much. Your videography is not the best but rewinding and looking at your video several times I was able to take it a part! But you made the effort and it is very valuable for thousands of people....
thanks dude.
Great video. I'm replacing mine today and this was very helpful
Thank you. Very helpful
I literally broke both of my window balance plastic pieces at the end just now trying to put them in. Can I repair them with super glue
I thought of that before also to repair the strings but it didn't fix it.
Thank you
You're welcome
Thank you body for the video
Thank you for taking the time to make this video! You made it incredibly easy for me to replace both balancers in less than 15 min!
Yw
Thanks for the video. I have a question. That’s the exact size I need on my window. 25 5” but I can’t find it anywhere. Not even at swisco. Where did you get your replacement?
I purchased mines from swisco as I posted in the description. Did you try calling Swisco?
@@netman88 I sent them an email. I’ll give them a call. Thanks again.
Thanks for the instruction. Where did buy your replacement?
Yw, it’s in the description for the vendor
Thanks for the video. Very helpful!
Why are there 2 holes for the hook/anchor to go in? Do you use top or bottom hole?
Is your channel balance the same as the one in the video, if so which time position you have a question about?
Is there an online retailer I can buy these from?
I only know the one in description. I fixed 2 windows already.
@@netman88 We ordered some on Amazon, but haven't received them yet. Make sure you get the right size number
who invented them? the devil? WORST window hardware ever.
You haven't experienced the joys of coil springs then...
You need to do a better job with your camera work!! It's hard to tell with many of ur close ups as to where you are talking about.......erratic camera moves, etc., just edit ur vid......please
This video was a pain to film btw. No editing would fix it. Odd angles. I only posted to help others.
Thank you sooooooooooo much! excellent. This is the best video. Others don't show enough or say enough.
Now my windows work like new. I didn't have to ask my husband to fix anything. YIPPY
You welcome.
Thank you ,,,,
