Quick summary
Do not force a stuck blind. Check the strap, guides and slats visually; if there is resistance, noise or a full blockage, request repair.
Why a blind gets stuck
Common causes include displaced slats, worn straps, blocked winders, misaligned axles, dirty guides and motors pushing a stiff blind.
What you can check safely
Check whether the strap is loose or broken, a slat is out of the guide, one side drops lower, or the motor makes noise but does not move.
What not to do
Do not pull the strap hard, do not hit the blind upwards and do not keep pressing the motor button if it does not respond.
When to call
Call if the blind will not close, is blocked, feels heavy, makes loud noise or has a motor.
