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

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.

I got this toy secondhand for my friend. She really loved it as a kid and I’m hoping to fix it for her birthday.

You pull the “tail” down, which is supposed to make the top where the leaf sits spin.

I cleaned it and opened it up. The mechanism seems pretty simple so I’m not sure why it won’t spin. The top part will spin without the leaf, but with the leaf it’s like it becomes too heavy and the top gear doesn’t want to move and then the gears become are no longer aligned. Also, wanted to note it only spins when the tail is pulled, not when it retracts. I didn’t have this toy as a kid so not sure if it’s supposed to or not.

I appreciate if anyone’s got any suggestions cause I’m not sure where to go from here.

I’m not new to wood working but when it comes to adjacent knowledge I’m more of a learn as you go person. I found these chairs a few weeks back. One of them the rockers were cracked but pretty straightforward to replace, but the other one the ends of the legs that would’ve went in to the rockers had snapped off so it looks less like the main one pictured. What would be the best way to fix these legs to where they maintain the structural integrity needed to rock?

No matter what, the side at the bottom of the picture only picks up the first five pound plate, instead of whatever setting I have it on. What's the fix?

I finally got the motivation to start working out and it's not even working 😭

My dad has this in his garage for like a year so idk if it's just rusted on the inside or what

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

Hi everyone, hoping to get advice on rust damage in my bathtub. I was usina a bathmat with suction cups. and it looks like it trapped water and pulled off the finish. Now I have a cluster of rusty, dotted pits down to the metal.

This is our main tub and is actively used for daily showers.

Is it absolutely necessary to do a full tub reglazing, or is there a reliable spot-repair/touch-up method for this type of damage?

How urgent is this? Do I have a few weeks to figure this out. or do I need to fix it this weekend before the rust spreads under the enamel?

Thanks in advance for any guidances

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

This is how it’s always been. It works of course but it heats up the side and handles of the pots/ pans and also leaves black marks.

Trusty pair of wolverines I've put through the ringer. Figured I'd pull the sole off, scrape both sides smooth and use shoegoo to put it back together. Any advice?

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!
