there was a guy came to install a new fridge. He put all the shelves and plants that looked okay but I just realised he put one of the shelves in wonky pictures included. I’m trying to get out it out but there’s so much pressure i’m scared of the glass cracking those white insert things seem to come out of the panels but I can’t seem to dislodge one of the back

EDIT: Fixed !! The guy came over and very slowly pulled the panel out of the socket (horizontally out of the fridge) and replaced it in its right place. He said it’s happened before where they’ve broken a panel trying to adjust it so i’m glad i didn’t try. Thanks all for the help!

Hi all,

I’m currently trying to replace my toilet seat in my flat and seems as though the person who installed the seat (probably about ten years ago, I know… I don’t own the place. I offered to do the seat change to save me and the landlord money on split costs. Regretting it now!) stripped the screw. The hardware is also quite corroded from the humidity in the bathroom.

Do you have any advice for getting this stripped screw out? The Allen key just turns around.

The other screw came out no problem so I know it isn’t user error!

So far, here is what I’ve tried:
- tin foil around Allen key for grip (this just shredded)
- vinyl glove around Allen key for grip (also just put holes in the glove)
- a thin fabric cloth around Allen key (just put a hole in cloth)
- scotch glue mini sheet things around Allen key to stick it in and add leverage (no luck!)
- slightly larger Allen key from tool kit
- torx bit on screwdriver

I’ve ordered the following to try:
- a cheap spare set of Allen keys (I need one to finalise the install so can’t ruin the current one to get this off) and some super glue
- a dremel knock off

Do you have any recommendations for how to use the above to get this out or other supplies that could do the job?

Ive just brought this coffee machine and tried to use it. Got an orange warning on it to attach the hopper but everytime i go to twist it there's resistance and it wont lock in place.

Ive looked up everything I can, there's no dirt, coffee beans, plastic or anything in the grinder bit. Its not the button cause I can push that in freely. The Twister thing isn't stuck cause it works perfectly fine off the machine. Im running out of ideas to get it to work.

I tried half twisting it and pushing it on and twisting it the rest of the way, that doesnt work. I've put a little pressure on it and twist, but that doesn't work either.

I really need help.

Anytime my area rug gets wet it warps like this. I don’t know why, and usually it’ll fix itself. This time it’s bad and covers a huge area of the rug. No matter what I do it won’t fix itself. If I flatten one area, another bunches up. Anything I can do to fix this?

I've tried clicking it back in, adjusting the screws, locking in the flippy bit to the left. Nothing keeps it in place and after a few uses it comes out again.

Some moisture got trapped underneath the door mat last winter and the floor board next the door warped as seen in the picture. Is there a way to fix this easily (or, failing that, to prevent more damage and make it cosmetically look better)? I have tried using a window suction device to grab the board and try to move it over but it doesn't budge.

Many thanks in advance!

Hello all I am struggling to find the right motor replacement for a rabbit Tanaka Lamp and figured reddit would probably be of help. If more pictures are needed I can take more, any help would be appreciated!

Is there any fix to this?

Hello!

I have a Kenmore washing machine, model 110.26002011, and I’m having an issue with it shutting off during the drain/spin cycle.

The washer fills and washes normally, but when it finishes washing and is supposed to start draining and spinning, it suddenly shuts off completely. When this happens, the water is left in the tub and the lid remains locked.

I have to turn the washer back on just to unlock the lid. However, after that, the washer will not start another cycle and the lid will not lock when I try to start it.
I already replaced the lid lock assembly because I thought that was the problem, but the exact same thing happened again. I was able to wash one load after replacing it, but as soon as the machine reached the point where it needed to drain, it shut off again, leaving the tub full of water and the lid locked.

At this point, when I try to run the washer again, it does nothing and the lid won’t lock.

Does anyone know what could be causing this? Could it be the control board, drain pump, or something else?

Thank you!

Installing a replacement ceiling fan, and go to mount it and one of the holes in the ceiling mount was not drilled correctly and is too small.

What's the best way to address this, since it's an uncommon length, and if at all possible would prefer not undoing everything. I thought possibly either trying a #10 self drilling screw to fix the hole or see if #8 will fit?

I'm restoring a family art piece for Grandma.

The first section appears to have a hard, shiny finish on it, the rest is raw wood.

I'm wondering the best way to strip or sand the finish so I can refinish it consistently.

The part I can't wrap my head around is the scalloped background. Whats the best way to clean that up?

I was adjusting the legs on my washer and this bolt is stripped how do I get it off so I can replace it

I’m kind of lost here. I bought a used dryer for the downstairs laundry room, and I’m used to dryers having a 4-inch pipe/outlet sticking out of the back that you can simply connect the exhaust hose to.
With this dryer, though, it looks like there’s basically just a straight/open hole on the back.

I’m not sure where exactly I’m supposed to connect the exhaust vent from, or if I’m missing a piece that should attach to the back of the dryer.

The dryer is a Kenmore 592-89412. Unfortunately, Sears seems to have deleted all the existing manuals for this model. 🙃 The closest relative (Kenmore did not produce the model itself) I’ve been able to find is the Samsung DV203AEW.

Does anyone know what piece I’m missing or where the exhaust hose is supposed to connect on this model?

Thanks, I greatly appreciate the help!

Edit: Thanks everyone for all the answers, it really helped! I confronted the seller about it and he told me he simply forgot it in his garage. No idea why he removed it in the first place tho!

Before I begin, I apologize if this is not the right place for this.

I recently bought myself this Shelcore Music Box (Animal Carousel as it's known as) and the plastic dome on it is really yellowed and cloudy, causing it to become unpleasing to the eyes, thus why it was also removed from the toy. Is there any way to clean it up and make it clear again, or is it stuck like this forever?

Any chance that these marks are removable? It is a waxed canvas backpack(Ignore the white stain)

My brother thinks that a power surge from a storm blackout caused it but this would have been a few months ago so idk. This was our playroom before my family started wedding planning for 2 of my sisters and we’re trying to get it back into a usable state without all the wedding stuff. That’s just to say that we haven’t been using this TV for 1+ months. Thanks y’all.
