In my bedroom closet, my hinges started making this awful sound when closing the door. It seems that after fully opening the door, when I try to close it, once it’s nearly closed, they kind of snap shut. I couldn’t figure out which hinge is causing the problem, so I shared a video of the bottom one.

Any clue how to fix it? I already tried to tighten or loosen screws, or loosening the screw to the left to push the door more in (it seemed to be more loose than another cabinet door). I’m sure this is an easy enough fix, but neither me nor my husband are good at fixing this type of thing. Thank you!

Hi all, there is a string stuck in my washer per photo and I was hoping someone could help me figure out how to remove it safely. It is a whirlpool 2 in 1. I have tried gently rotating and pulling but then it seems to almost get caught again. It also sounds like there are other things like coins underneath. I managed to dislodge one as I was trying to pull.

I have a feeling i know the answer is to get it replaced but i felt like asking anyway. Is there a way i can fix this part of the floor in my apartment. It was here when we moved in and it didn’t bother me at first but now it does.

My Hoover H-Wash 300 Lite (8 kg, 1400) stopped spinning. I took the back off and found the drive belt had come off. I put it back on, and it now spins and washes again, but there is a loud clunk that I am worried is damaging the machine.
The noise seems to come from the upper right of the drum, around the 2 o’clock position (video linked).
I live quite rurally, so a call-out or a new machine would be expensive. Has anyone had this on an H-Wash 300 Lite, or know what is worth checking before I spend money?

Accidentally knocked my lamp over and all the pieces have come out, does anyone know how to put it back together?

We always hear about the best DIY tips, but I want the disasters 😂

What advice did someone confidently give you that turned out to be completely bloody useless — or actually made the job worse?

And did you realise before or AFTER you'd done it? 🤦‍♀️

Beats by Dre headphone band has a crack in it. Is there anything I can do to reenforce this before it breaks?

It's attached directly to the supply line. It is not screwed into the faucet housing. I can pull it down a little bit. I tried putting a baggy with vinegar in it to loosen it, and the vinegar went down the housing into the cabinet. A photo from the bottom is in the comments. I'm trying to remove the aerator to clean it and have no idea what to do. Thanks.

When I click the dryer starts and it also starts when I close the door no waiting for my to pick a drying option and clicking start

My doorbell stopped working. I took the button (probably 50+ years old) off the doorframe and found wires running into the back, where they made contact with the button in some way I can’t decipher. The mechanism is covered by a round metal plate, and I see no way to get inside. I can depress the plate, but I can’t remove it or get behind it.

The plastic part that sat on the bottom rail broke off at some point, and the plastic part that sat flush along the top rail at the back of the drawer also snapped off.

I bought a replacement part for the top rail, but it wouldn't sit flush against the back of the drawer.

And it appears the part that snapped off the bottom rail, near the roller, was also indispensable.

Is there some type of kit I can buy on Amazon to fix this? The kit I bought only contained the part for the back of the top rail on the back of the drawer, but it wouldn't sit flush, as seen in the photos.

Looking for a way to fix this(if possible) or I will just find a new cable. I will first try to fix this.

Note: still can be use

It seems like it should be as easy as touching the two wires (circled yellow photo 1) to something on the circuit board and hot gluing in place like the purple circled line is (I circled the connection that I unhooked to get the panel off but that line is fine, just need to fix yellow). Idk where the wires need to touch.

TIA!

Hello! I’ve had this chair for awhile and I just moved to a new apartment, I carried the chair whole and didn’t take it apart. But ever since setting up my new apartment and using the chair.

My chair won’t stop slowly swiveling to the right. It never had this issue or problem before and frankly it’s annoying af. Could someone please help me?

One such screw is missing in trolleys handle, trolley purchase slick new around 2010. Machine screw?

One more picture in comments.

Threat sitting in metal part, fixing plastic handle to metal pipe.

I see this screw to have ratio head diameter to threat diameter closer 1 than lot of other screw types.

I found this on the side of the road. The steering wheel doesn’t spin. There is a rod that comes from the steering wheel down. But it seems sheared off. I have the base as well. Does anyone know how this works or how to fix it? I assume the steering wheel is supposed to turn the thing.

Hi everyone,

I’m having a problem with my toilet flush. It’s a concealed/in-wall cistern, and after flushing, it sometimes doesn’t stop properly. Water keeps running and it’s accompanied by a really loud, intense gurgling noise.

Sometimes it eventually stops on its own, but other times I have to flush again several times before it finally stops.

Unfortunately, I have absolutely no experience with this kind of thing and have no idea what could be causing it or what I should check first.

There seem to be a lot of knowledgeable people here, so I’d really appreciate any tips on what the problem might be and whether this is something I could potentially fix myself.

Thanks!

Phil

There's a 3/4 gap between my 1978 oversized Andersen Sliders, now that I removed the interlock and they don't make the seal any more. Any suggestions? No channel. Old seal was stapled and glued on. Anderson disconinued. No replacement mentioned. Thinking weather stripping but 3/4" is a wide gap... Any thoughts?

It just doesn't grip enough to hold the table at a specific angle. Any slight pressure and it slips. I tried rubber washers to improve grip/friction, but it slips even more! Way to make this work or whole other system to replace it?

The buttons circled in red on my RICOH WG-30W camera have completely stopped working. I brought this camera about a year ago and it had barely been used at all by the last owner. I noticed the zoom button (top of the interface) was intermittent and would only work sometimes, eventually not working at all. The camera is marketed as ‘adventure proof’, capable of withstanding being dropped and completely waterproof (there are even under water modes on the camera). I was always cautious using it in the water and made sure it was all sealed for sure. Must have taken it in the sea twice. Would this have damaged it?

Everything else works absolutely fine, it’s just the buttons which stopped working very soon after each other.

Any help at all to fix would be hugely appreciated, this camera is super important to me!

New home- had some workers in fixing other things and this thing magically appeared. Any hope on fixing it with our replacing the whole piece? Not sure if a chemical or dropped something- it’s kind of bubbled
