I have tried for 3 days to get my stuck channel balance down. I've tried everything. No luck. Please help.

Hello there. I'm assuming the Top Sash Guides, the nylon blocks in the upper corners of the window sash, broke--when this happens, the channel balances shoot past the sash and lodge themselves in the upper corners of the window tracks. You'll need to use a slotted screwdriver to carefully push the top of the balance downward and underneath the take-out clip on the window track. The video below details this process. From there you'll be able to remove the sash and then show us anything that needs replacing--i.e. the top sash guides or balances. Let me know if this helps, or if you need further guidance.
