How to unjam windows?

To unjam a stuck window, try removing any dirt or debris, applying a lubricant to the track, and gently using a pry bar or putty knife to loosen the window. For painted windows, score the edges with a utility knife to break the seal.

Windows can get jammed due to debris, paint, or swollen wood. Using a lubricant or breaking the paint seal can help free the window without causing damage.

Clean the tracks, apply lubricant, and carefully pry the window loose.
