What do I do if the balance shoe does not engage when I push the window down?

[@samarabevin]

This is driving me nuts. I can’t find ANYTHING like my issue! My window is stuck CLOSED. It will tilt out but if I try to wiggle it out, I will rip the whole wall out!

I have double hung windows with an aluminum track , house was built in the 70's and these are the original windows, but I can't figure out how to pop out the window for cleaning...there is no button on the wooden frame or the aluminum track

[@bigdumb618]

YOO I DONT HAVE THAT BALANCE SHOOT ON MY WINDOW AND ITS FREEZING

[@cccogburn]

Oops, it didn’t work for me, the bolt in the window did not engage with the block in the window frame...do I need to push harder? Ask a male to try it?
