Sash balance on left side of lower sash is defective (loose cord is visible) making the sash very difficult to open. Tag on window states "Peachtree G2887 Type AE". Do you stock replacement balances for this window and should the "Balance Plugs" be replaced too?
Thanks
Peachtree D/H window installed approximately 1988 defective sash balance

The tag on the window does not help us identify what you have or what will work in its place. If you have not done so already, you will need to remove the balance completely from the window and upload photos of the part for us to see. We will also need to know the length of the part as well as any stampings/markings that may appear on the balance.

It is 23 1/4" long, 9/16" wide and 5/8" deep. The number stamped on the back is 3054.

Thank you for replying back with your photo. Start off with taking a look at our Series 745 balance. Confirm this is the type of balance you have. If so, then theoretically you can swap out your old plug with our 16-027. However, if your plug broke, then that tells us your balance doesn't have too much longer before it breaks as well. You may want to consider replacing your whole balance. Look everything over and let us know if you have any further questions.
