Instructions
How to free a stuck window
- Spray the window channels with lubricant.
- Run the pizza cutter all the way around the window. Be careful not to slice the wood, as the blade may be very sharp.
- The window should no longer be stuck; try opening it.
- Once the window is open, take this opportunity to clean all of the moving parts. Spray the tracks with a cleaning solution or paint thinner, and scrub it with a toothbrush or rag.
- You can also use some paint thinner to remove unwanted paint.

How to free a stuck window
STEPHANIE: I’m Stephanie Glakas-Tenet.
JULIE: And I’m Julie Sussman.
STEPHANIE: And we’re the co-authors of the Dare to Repair series.
JULIE: And we’re here on howdini to show you how to free a stuck window.
STEPHANIE: A window can get stuck from humidity or dirt build up or even paint.
JULIE: Or all of the above.
STEPHAINE: You might think that the solution is in your toolbox.
JULIE: But actually it could be found in your kitchen drawer. It’s a pizza cutter.
STEPHANIE: The other tools that you’ll need for this project include a toothbrush, lubricating spray, a cleaning solution, a rag, sometimes a paint thinner if you have a lot of paint.
JULIE: We’re going to get started by spraying the channels with the lubricant.
STEPHANIE: Okay, now you’re going to run the pizza cutter along the window-
JULIE: But you have to be really careful because the blade is sharp and you don’t want to slice into the wood.
STEPHANIE: Okay Stephanie let’s give it a try.
JULIE: Easy, now once you have got the window open you want to take the opportunity to clean all the moving parts. You can do this with a toothbrush, some paint thinner, and also with the cleaning solution.
STEPHANIE: And you can use the paint thinner to remove some unwanted paint.
JULIE: Now it moves freely.
STEPHANIE: As you can see freeing a stuck window is a breeze.
