6. Cordless Blinds: How They Work and Why They Won’t Go Up
Your Internal Motor May Need to Be Reset
Cordless blinds are equipped with an internal motor spring that retracts when you lift your blind up and then holds the blind in place at the point when you stop lifting. At times, this motor needs to be reset in order to function properly.
Your Internal Ribbons May Have Become Tangled
Cordless blinds are also equipped with internal ribbons which are strung throughout the inside of your blind. From time to time, these ribbons can become tangled and this can also cause your blinds to not function as they should.
Your Cordless Blinds Have Been in the “Up” Position for too Long
If your cordless blinds have been left in the “up” position for an extended period of time, then your internal spring motor may have seized up due to inactivity and it will need to be reset.
There May Have Been a Manufacturer’s Defect
The reason that your cordless blinds won’t go up could be due to a manufacturer’s error. This could be the case especially if the issue happens immediately or if you have purchased a less expensive, lower quality blind.
Heat or Humidity May Effect How Your Cordless Blinds Operate
Heat and humidity can also play a part in the operation of your cordless blinds. Extreme heat and humidity can cause your blinds to expand and alter their shape so that they don’t go up properly.
