Usually the hard part about replacing this operator is the hidden installation screws on the Pella crank operator body. There is probably a sill cover over these screw holes that you will need to carefully remove to unscrew the operator. After the old Pella crank window operator is removed all you will need to do is screw in the new Pella window crank operator and replace the sill cover.

I believe you're referring to the gear on the operator. There are no replaceable parts for the operators other than the handle. Feel free to send pictures of your operator if you want us to further look at it.

I see by the photo what you are referring to. That "biscuit" is not suppose to come out of the operator. You will need to purchase a new operator. Go on to the website to match it up to your sample.

All of the hardware (track and operator) should be installed with screws. It is just a matter of unscrewing the hardware and removing it.

The sashes are held in with hinges which are screwed into the top and bottom of the sashes. You might want to get a Pella service professional (or someone who is familiar with Pella) to help you out with this project.
Keep in mind, new sashes might not fit the older main frames. |

Thanks for posting. Unfortunately, it's hard to identify your operator while it is still installed in your window. If at all possible, can you remove it from the window and take a few pictures of the whole thing separately?
In the meantime, however, please take a look at our 39-176. Do you think this might match? Please compare dimensions and see what you think. |
