Automatic window opener on greenhouse
By Volunteer
West Sussex, United Kingdom
The window opener on my greenhouse seems to have stopped working. It was set to open at about 22 degrees, but last week the temp went above this in the greenhouse and it didn't open. Do these things have a lifetime, can it be fixed or shall I buy a new one? It is about 12 -15 years old.

I recon you've had your money's worth Volunteer, most things don't last 12-15 years these days.

Is it worth a quick sqirt of WD40 Volunteer just incase it shifts it?

Before you remove it just check that the window has not slid sideways a touch therefore causing it to stick,it might sound daft but it happened to mine and I was able to release it, in last weeks wind it did it again and wasn`t closing properly, they are expensive so well worth checking........
