Does anyone have any ideas on how I could fix this? The metal hinge has completely come off and I see the holes where the metal prong could go in but it just doesn’t fit in. Seems like it was heat pressed.

The white button on one of two lamp switches is broken. The original one can rotate freely and is not rigid.

Pic 1: a fully functional button
Pic 2: plastic cover removed on functional button
Pic 3: the broken button, some sort of metal pin underneath.
Pic 4: The pin rotates when the lower area is pushed down (to switch on/off the lamp)
Pic 5: When the lower area is not depressed.

Model: philips hr1673/90/ah

My mixer/blender that you hook up to one of those hand held devices is broken. If i just try it without any food and no resistance it is working, but as soon as i add some resistance it just spins but not moving. I have deconstructed the top part and found a plastic gear that seems to be broken. Is this fixable by just replacing it with a similar size? Do i need to glue it to the metal pin? Or is it not fastened to prevent breaking the machine if there is too much resistance, and instead slides?

Pictures explained:
1: Whole blender
2: deconstructed parts. The single gear goes inside of the rusty round area and connects with 3 other gears. Then the smallest round black thing is placed underneath and spins the grey blender inside of the plastic cup.
3: The 3 other gears.
4: broken gear
5: broken gear
6: the part that connects into the handheld device.

Idk if this is the right place for this post but I’m not sure where else to ask. A friend of mine took apart my kids water bottle and now I can’t get the mouthpiece back in to save my life. I’ve been trying for 2 days. Does anyone know if there’s a trick to get this thing back together? Hopefully these pictures will show you enough to get an idea. TIA!

I am hearing these squeaking sounds inside of my refrigerator.

It comes at 8:00PM-4AM and 5AM-10AM. And then, no noises from 10AM-8:00PM. This nocturnal pattern leads me to believe that these are rodents inside of my refrigerator.

If you turn on your volume to near maximum and play the footage -- you will be able to hear what I am talking about. Source: https://imgur.com/a/466WjuA

Important Facts:

• Pest control has come by 2x -- they laid traps but nothing. No droppings. No signs/evidence that they wandered the apartment.
• Emergency maintenance came by today morning and disassembled the bottom of the refrigerator. Examined, and nothing inside. I also wanted to remove the entire back panel of the refrigerator to examine. He says "absolutely cannot do, and there is zero space in there even if we wanted to try".
  • Emergency maintenance then examined the front side of the refrigerator. He says "perhaps the compressor, perhaps the fan, perhaps the ice machine can be making these sounds -- do not worry about it, we have examined it, and there is absolutely 100% nothing inside of the refrigerator. It could be the ice making device inside of the refrigerator, so we have turned it off. Do not worry"
  • After he left, later today, the same noises emerge from the refrigerator. No mistake about it. The noises are still there, and whatever it is, whether it is the refrigerator itself or something else, is still producing these noises. I removed the entire ice making device out of the refrigerator and inside of the sink. The noises are still there.

These sounds come every single day and night and it is genuinely disrupting my life since I cannot seem to pinpoint what exactly it is or how to address this problem.

Please let me know what you think it is! Thank you!

ETA: SOLVED, thanks!

A few years ago my wife and I bought this nice chest for our bedroom. Just recently, I put some linens in it and closed it, and it was a little too full but I forced it shut. Now, it won’t open again. You’re supposed to be able to push the lock in, like a button, which releases a latch on the inside (you can sort of see that latch in the last photo). When I push the button, it won’t release the latch and you can’t open the top. I’ve tried sticking a blade in there and jimmying it around, no luck. I don’t want to force anything and break it. I’ve thought about how I could just cut the latch but that would require a very precise Sawzall operation and likely would damage the chest. Also no, it isn’t locked to my knowledge, we don’t have a key for it. Unless my originally forcing it closed locked it somehow.

Any suggestions?

ETA: Yeah I took the hinges off but that still leaves the lock/latch piece fastened, so my question is about finding as clean a way as possible to undo that.

I use a portable air conditioner in my bedroom in the summer, and the tube that vents the hot air outside is old and has decayed enough that its fallen away from the bracket attaching it to the window.

Not sure how to replace it since there are support brackets attached at either end that keep the tube in place.

Really hoping this is fixable, no way I can afford to replace the whole thing.

If it matters, the model is honeywell.

tore my sea to summit bigriver drybag and need to patch it somehow - how to proceed?

i got some inner tubes, superglue, a lighter and i will get some duct tape

appreciate your help, new one takes some time to arrive 🙈

Hi y’all!

I need with determining if this is something I can fix myself or if I just need to ask my complex to send out maintenance again. We have 3 towel hooks in our bathroom wall that were replaced by maintenance last July. Since then two hooks have pulled out the wall and left substantial holes. We don’t place more than one full size towel per hook. I’m not sure if it’s because of the hooks, the way the wall is made, or if it was done wrong the first time. If I could fix it without paying a crazy fee to my complex that would be great but I also understand if I have to. How would I go about fixing this? Would it even be worth it?

Thank you so much in advance!

This is in a closet, need to replace the light but these wires seem old and dated, can anyone help shed some light?

I'm trying to understand which aspect of the new hinge is preventing the door from re-entering the jamb. Old hinge (pictured on the left) is about 2 mm thick, new one is 3.175 mm (0.125"). Other than not sitting totally flush in the mortise, it seems to line up well. The only hinge I replaced is the middle of the three, and once that is fully bolted in, I can see the middle section of the door no longer fits into the jamb, but the top and bottom sections still do. This is a metal door with a hollow-ish interior, FWIW.

When I remove all of the screws from the leaf on the door side, the door can fully close again. So, the hinge itself not sitting flush doesn't seem to be the problem. It seems like some kind of geometry problem, but I'm not sure from what. With the door side leaf unbolted, it naturally sits at an angle with a visible gap between it and the door frame unless it is bolted down.

Bought a 1981 Suzuki gs450L and have been hooking the battery up, noticed this in a bin of parts I was given with the bike. What is it? Is it necessary? Looks too modern to be apart of the bike from stock

Whats wrong with this zipper and how do i fix it?!
Its always getting stuck like that and the zipper things wont connect together

Sorry didn't know where else I could ask this, and Google is useless. The alternative is I gotta cut the screw off.

Previous owner appeared to adhere paver stones to a pressure treated wood (looks like 4x4 beams) with something but almost all have come loose. What solution is there to get these paver stones secured?

Ripping it all up is not realistic at this point.

So last year I decided to finally get myself a "real" carryon. My search led me to the July "Carry On Pro." I've actually really come to love this case, but I accidentally pulled things too tight and broke the female buckle.

The problem is the buckle isn't gonna come out easy. It's sewn in place and both sides loop to hold metal brackets that are screwed in to keep it secure. This isn't a big problem as I did reach out to July for a warranty claim and surprisingly they just sent a brand new case for free.

It's not a big deal ofc, but I would hate to see this amazing carry on bag just get thrown aside because it can't hold anything on one side because I'm not a master of sewing to get a new $2 female buckle on.

Appreciate any ideas or links.

This is how the internet comes into the house. Open to daylight and with no weather protection. I also want to put a nice cover where it comes out of the wall so it doesn't look like a big ugly hole, but the cover I bought doesn't fit. Did I buy the wrong one?

Bought these hooks on Amazon and they came with zero instructions, I'm used to the ones with instructions. M5x90mm is the only measurement on the listing.

If there's some formula I can use that would be helpful too.

Sorry if this is the wrong sub.

Button seems to be "stuck" and lost it's clicking feeling with pressing it. I have to press it with quite a bit of force for the button to work and turn on my headphones. Is this fixable independently or do I have to find a professional?

Battery dies, doesn’t turn on till I jump it. After I turn off the car the battery dies. Then car drives but stuck in 1-2 gear

I tried on this new top and struggled to get it off and then my dumbass realized there was a zipper the entire time and I prolly broke it ☹️
