Troubleshooting

Window is difficult to open or close.

Check the pivot mechanism for any obstructions. Ensure the ventilation flap is fully closed. If the issue persists, the mechanism may require lubrication or adjustment by a professional.

Water leaks around the window frame.

Inspect the flashing and sealing around the window. Ensure there is no damage to the roofing material or the flashing kit. Re-sealing or replacing damaged flashing may be necessary. Professional inspection is recommended.

Condensation on the glass.

Some condensation on the outer pane in cold weather is normal. Internal condensation may indicate high indoor humidity. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially after showering or cooking. Open the window's ventilation flap regularly.

The locking mechanism is not engaging.

Ensure the window is fully closed. Check for any debris in the locking slots. If the problem continues, there might be an issue with the locking rod or handle, requiring professional assessment.
