- This is one possible reason why your shade might be "stuck" or unable to go up or down anymore.
Note that I did realize a mistake in this video. The end points out what I should have done, but given the tools I had on hand, that method wouldn't have been possible anyway.

Watching your video has saved me time money and a lot of hassle. I had a knot at the top but wouldn’t have worked it out without your video.
Thank you very very much.
God bless you.
Hey, glad it helped!
THANK YOU! Saved my shade, my money and my sanity!
P.S. i used a metal BBQ skewer with a "hook" on the end!
Saved me a huge headache, thanks! String was just wrapped around knot. Had no clue sans this vid.
Glad it helped!
This video saved my butt! I went in from the side with a wire hanger and was able to fish the knot and line out enough to undo the knot. Fixed my issue thank you!
Awesome! Glad it helped!
Huge thank you for this, one side of our shade “broke” about a month ago, and I was going to replace it with a new one today when I realized it doesn’t fit. Found this video and sure enough, a knot in one of the strings! Saved me about $70 (if it’s not a standard measurement shade then it’s not cheap!), thank you!!
Hey, glad it worked out!
Thanks millions. Found the knot but couldn't get the shad off of the window and couldn't fish the string all the way out so ended up cutting on the back side to get to the knot. That worked perfectly.
Glad it helped!
Thank you Ryan!! The hooked wire coat hanger worked perfectly. Our knot originated in the bottom mechanism as well.
Glad it helped!
This video is the one that solved my issues!!! thank you soooo much for posting this!!!! 😊
Glad it helped! Thank you for the comment.
Thank you. This worked perfectly
excellent from,Fix My Blinds and Shades
Thanks this worked lol, I don’t even care that I ripped it a little
Glad it worked!
I didn't have a knot. The problem with mine is that one of the cords fell off the wheels in the top and got trapped. I just had to pull on it to release it from where it was stuck and it was fixed.
Thank you, thank you, and thank you for a most excellent video. I used a small drain snake to grab the loop of the knot, being careful to pull the snake out flat to the cell surface to avoid tearing it. The only question remaining is can I still blame the cat for this debacle or does it happen in cat less households as well.
Glad it helped! Ha, maybe a bird flew in through the window and in it's attempt to escape, it clawed at the blind..?
Thank you definitely worked 👍👍👍
Fantastic!
i need to fix these blinds in my home but can't find parts/info and the mechanism seems unique. wondering which brand/model did you instal then fix? thanks.
Hi there! Sorry, but I'm not sure of the brand. They were discontinued, but I got them years ago from JCPenny
I had this problem and dissembled the bottom and pulled the string through so that the knot came out the bottom, where I was then able to undo it. But the shade still hangs at the spot where it wasn't able to go up before and is lifeless. I tried pulling it all the way down, then yanking a few times at a 45 degree angle, but that didn't help. Any tips? Is your blind one of the Norman cordless honeycomb (the child safety ones) ones?
Oo, sorry to hear your blind isn't working now. I have a cheap version that I'm not sure are even made anymore, but they're diamond shaped. No tips really on how to fix it other than make sure the line is connected at the top and bottom, but I'm sure you already did that with your inspection. Best of luck!
@@realryanhomes6858 Thanks for your reply! I just wanted to come back and say I took it apart again and wound the string around the gear and it seems to work now! I couldn't get it tight enough to go 100% up but it's pretty close now!
This is my third video whilst my blinds hang literally in the balance. The first one didnt help the second one seems to have broken peoples blinds even fuether and here is the third video so i really hope i can fix these blinds 😂
Hey, hope the third time's the charm!
Use a crochet hook
Oo, that would have been perfect. Unfortunately I don't have any around the house, but great suggestion!
Tear the fabric?? I prefer to leave it without repairing!!!
Yes, indeed. I explained that in the video it would be best to use a hook device to grab the string if you can. :)
