Fenster lässt sich nicht kippen/ Fenster lässt sich nicht mehr kippen - was hilft?

Wenn sich ein Kippfenster zum Putzen oder auch einfach nur zum Lüften nicht mehr öffnen lässt, kann es sein, dass der Scherenbügel in der Laufschiene verklemmt ist. In diesem Falle müssen Sie das Kippfenster einstellen und dazu die Stellschrauben am Scherenlager justieren. Hierdurch kann der Fensterflügel auf das Scherenlager zu bewegt sowie der Flügel in der Höhe verstellt werden.

Problem beim Kippfenster öffnen: Fenster kippt beim Öffnen, was tun?

Es passiert immer wieder, ob beabsichtigt oder versehentlich, dass Sie ein Kippfenster aushängen. Zum Putzen des Fensters wird dies zum Beispiel häufig absichtlich vorgenommen, um die außen liegenden Scheiben gut zu erreichen. Ist der Fensterflügel ausgehängt, sollte man das Fenster zunächst in den Kippzustand bringen und dann den Flügel an der unten liegenden Leiste wieder einhängen. Anschließend betätigt man den Klappmechanismus und probiert dann, den Griff zu drehen, um das Fenster wieder in Position zu bringen.

Sonderfall Kippfenster, dieser Fenster kippen nicht einfach „weg“ - Öffnen erfordert besondere Handgriffe

Kippfenster sind aufgrund Ihres Einsatzgebiets (meist als Kellerfenster) so konstruiert, dass Sie nicht einfach „wegkippen“ können. Dies ist auf die eingebauten Scherenlager zurückzuführen. Die Sicherungsbolzen, die das Scherenlager sichern, müssen zum Öffnen des Fensters entfernt werden, sodass Sie anschließend das Kippfenster aushängen können.
