I've been dealing with some pretty annoying stuff lately with my Jeld-Wen patio doors. They're only about two years old, but already the sliding mechanism is getting stuck and feels super clunky. I mean, I didn't expect them to glide like butter forever, but come on...two years? Also noticed some condensation building up between the panes of glass, which seems weird since they're supposed to be sealed tight.
Did a bit of googling and saw a few other people mentioning similar problems—especially the condensation thing. I'm starting to wonder if this is just a common issue with their products or if maybe I got unlucky with a bad batch or something.
Curious if anyone else here has run into similar headaches with Jeld-Wen stuff. Is it just me or are these things kinda overrated?
Had a similar experience with my Jeld-Wen windows about three years back. The condensation between panes drove me nuts—felt like I was staring through foggy glasses half the time. Ended up contacting customer support, and after some back-and-forth, they replaced the faulty units under warranty. Sliding mechanism's been okay-ish for me, but definitely not as smooth as advertised. Maybe it's just hit or miss with their quality control...
Had something similar happen with my patio doors from Jeld-Wen. Not condensation, but the sliding mechanism started sticking after just a year or so. Tried cleaning out the tracks step-by-step—vacuumed first, then wiped down thoroughly, even applied some silicone lubricant—but it only helped temporarily. Customer support wasn't much help either, said it was normal wear and tear. Makes me wonder if their quality control is just inconsistent or if certain models have recurring issues...
