Broken cords, for instance they are usually caused by worn-out window hardware. A quick examination of the window hardware could reveal whether this is the case.

If you don't do this, the sash won't be able to slide upwards and down. If needed apply wood filler to smooth the joint. If there's a lot of cracking it is recommended to replace the entire sash.
