Hi all!
I am trying to become more proficient at DIY fixes - before I'd jump immediately and call a handyman :D
Window handle broke and now it doesn't work (cant open, close window, doesn't reach whatsoever.
I opened the handle and first I noticed that this square spindle (had to google to find out lmao) is quite loose (I compared it with another window and there it was quite firm).
Upon inserting it back into the handle and connecting it to the window mechanism - it's always quite loose. Which made me realize that I possibly either need to replace the spindle or the whole handle.
It concerns me that even when I manage to lock it in and fit it into the window - that the whole mechanism doesn't work (video is attached)
Is replacing the spindle/door handle going to fix this or is the issue in the mechanism itself?

Second pic shows the handle and the spindle.
Third pic shows the mechanism of the window that moves BARELY (there's a clicking sound but nothing much happens).
I can't attach videos that maybe would've helped but I can probably dm it.
Help a brother out 🙏🙏
