The previous owner of my house stupidly let moisture build up between the two panes of glass in several thrmal window units. Does anyone have any suggestions for drying this moisture short of dismantling the entire unit? Any help will be appreciated.:)

I don't think that was his fault; the moisture barrier must not have been good to start with. If you dismantle you will only cause more damage. The moisture has to be vacuumed out and I guess you have to consult a manufacturer on how to have that done.

Once you know that moisture is between the panes of glass you know a seal is bad. No way of doing anything about it yourself. You will have to replace the panes. Not anyone's fault, this just happens.If you have the expensive windows, the manufaturers warrant these for up to 20 years. I had this happen to me and my windows were 16 yrs old. Didn't cost me a cent. Good Luck

Umm! You Have A Defective Seal. The Thermo Pane That You Refer To When You Say There Are Two Layers Of Glass Is A Sealed System. The Only Way For The Moisture To Get Into The Airspace Is For A Leak. Not The Previous Home Owner's Fault.

Complete replacement may not be necessary. Do a "Google" on this topic. There are contractors that install vent system to correct this problem, permanently. See my recent reply. I had the same problem and I am going to try it myself. The people that just say replace, I don't think have a basic understanding of the physics and chemistry of the problem. Yes, it indicates the seal is broken but as long as you can replace the moist air inside the panes at a faster rate with drier air from inside, it should be solved.
