Here's the solution for when the handle is stuck and the window opens "diagonally": Solution
1. Pull the window out sideways, as though you've got the handle pointed upwards
2. At this point, the handle isn't upwards, and won't move upwards
3. Look along the edge of the window for a kind of "button" or "lever" that you can press - it should be about half way up
4. Hold this button in and you'll find that the handle now has more movement
5. Move the handle all the way to the top
6. Close the window sideways
7. The window should be fine now
These windows are pretty cool, but this one was broken, stuck between both open settings, it wouldn't close. Here is how I fixed it.

I just had a very similar problem this morning, now thankfully solved! I was cursing this modern window technology and muttering under breath that if I ever get this bloody window to close I'll never open it again! Fortunately after half and hour of jiggling it about and pressing this and pressing that, eventually it closed like it should and the handle became normal again!

Holy shit. I did fix my problem by watching this video but only because watching him turn the handle made me realize I had just been turning it the wrong way this hole time. I’m an idiot.

Diagonal window opening problem fix: The handle is stiff so with the window open, press in the latchbolt to trick the window into thinking it is shut. The handle should now move between 2 positions. Close the window, gently press the loose top bit and move the handle - it seems to correct itself. The key is to depress the latch on the side by the handle - this frees up its movement.

I have at the moment the same problem with blocked handle, but even pressing the latchbolt it remains blocked. It can move up difficult (for tilt position) but when the window is closed cannot move it down. Any ideas?

If this video didn't help (because of a different model like mine) then you could try moving a little thingy that is sticking out of the bottom left corner of the window from the outside side it just kinda sticks out but you can move it towards the window but it just bounces back out when you stop holding so you if you know which thing im talking about then you could try holding it down and then turning the handle idk why but it helped with my window

@bootsowen 5 жыл бұрын

Hi. If you have another window like it look at the little bits that move to see which to nudge. One could be loose in your broken window and may need a nudge up or down with something like a bent coat hanger wire. Take your time. Once it is open check all screws are tight.

@tsvetelinaneshova1607 5 жыл бұрын

Thank you ! Do you think nudging it will have a negative impact on the black mushy thing that prevents the air coming in and out ?

this happens when you turn the handle while the window is not fully in the frame fix is easy you need to punch one corner of window with your hand while the handle is in the same position as when it happened. fixed mine broken out of the frame window this way.

When the handle is facing upward it opens into the room from the side , and when the handle is in facing the middle of the window , the window pulls open from the top and leaves a little gap while it is still latched at the bottom , but right now it is opening sideways into the room while the bottom right latch isn’t connected, so when I try to close my window the bottom right is the only part sticking it untill I let go of the window and the top bit tilts out... what do I do?

@@bootsowen made it, first tried with two fishing rods from the windows in the building staircase. But just lost two tips of those rods there and made it worse. What did is a wire just underneath the left corner, following the rubber path of the window down. The wire pulled it up just enough to show it so we nailed it with a hammer and pulled it up.

@bootsowen 4 жыл бұрын

The handle moves some little studs on the side of the window into some little locking places on the frame. Something is not going into place to allow the window to hinge. I suggest pushing it or pulling it into the frame so that it is tight and try again. If that doesn't work try pushing or pulling it out of the frame and try again. You have to make the little bits that move align. Once you get it open check and see that all of the fittings on the window and frame are lining up. the off one will probably look bashed. Also read all the comments, others have made recommendations. let me know how you get on, good luck..

I think you will have to try and release one of the catches on the side of the window and then get the handle back to where it should be, then close it and begin again.
