tension spring install for window sash

A home owner from Wisconsin says:
I have ordered two 20-001 to install on a window that has broken cords. Do I need to remove the broken cords or can I just leave them?

Paul from SWISCO responded:
First, try raising the sash to see if its binding with the cord. If not, install spring.
