Hi, I work in a glass shop, and we change these panes out all the time. Since the unit has failed, take the sash to your local glass shop, they will measure the size and overall thickness, and whether it has low-E glass or not. You than can take the sash back home an reinstall, til the new pane comes in. It takes us about a week to get the new pane back.

How do you remove the air and seal the window between the two "layers"?
Judy, I think scoooteris talking about a completely new thermopane getting install in the old sash. My link 3 is a company who claims they pump out the air, inject a gas, install some little vale and bingo, good as new. i have never persopnally used them
if you have condensation between the glass then you need new glass. They didn't seal it right at the factory, it happens all the time. If you don't know who the contractor was that installed the windows, pull down the top sash and see if there's a sticker up there. It should say the manufacturers name. Call them up and give them the numbers on the sticker, it might still be covered, if not you can probably get a replacement that'll fit.

That is correct, that we change the whole insulated unit out. Most of the units we see come in that have failed look next to impossible to repair, since they have been failed for quite sometime and the mineral build up is pretty heavy.

Right - the question was how to clear it up without replacing it and I thought that's what you were addressing.
