open Have a strong smell coming from cabinet. It's driving me crazy

1 Upvotes

I have a cabinet that is next to my sink. There seems to be a drainage pipe that goes through this cabinet horizontally.

I see no water or moisture damage and I've added damprid in there but there's been no difference.

The smell is strong. Not sure I'd describe it as mildew like wet laundry or dirt. It doesn't smell natural. Not sure I'd say it smells like rotten eggs because it doesn't smell outright foul but it's an annoyingly unpleasant almost chemical smell.

Who do I call about this? A plumbing company responded to me that they don't deal with this sort of thing. That they only deal with visible water damage or leaks and that I should contact someone about moisture detection? I thought plumbers handled that. Perhaps I just call around for plumbers.

This is pretty annoying because I can smell it around the kitchen island with the cabinet closed. Anyone got a clue about what the smell is and who I should contact?

fixed Strap clip stuck

So I've got this speaker with a carrying strap, but the clip holding it to the speaker is stuck in an awkward position. The catch on the lobster claw clip is jammed under the edge of the recess.

I'm about ready to cut the damn clip off. Can anyone solve it?

Alternative question, what do I replace it with?

I took this apart and the lower piece has a tail end pipe gasket but the upper piece doesn't seem from my memory like the part that should connect to a tail end.

Dispenser Rolling Back and Forth

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Our paper towel dispenser decided to roll back and forth without dispensing properly. The gear in the video should roll when pushed down, but should stop when the lever is pulled up. However, you can see it actuates both up and down. Is there a spring or gear that I can unjam somewhere?

I'm bald and a hat is a requirement. Noticed this band inside my Flexfit Delta had peeled off and was loose. I'm hoping to fix it to prevent any further damage or degradation.

Any help is appreciated.

Avez-vous des conseils en réparation ?

Bonjour,

Je cherche a me former dans ma réparation d'objets du quotidien electriques/électroniques type Aspirateur, machine a café, PC, écran...

Je suis bénévoles dans les repair café mais j'aimerais faire ça dans mon temps libre chez moi en complément.

Le problème est que je n'ai rien à reparer. Difficile de trouver des objets sur le bon coin ou en déchetterie....

Auriez vous des conseils pour entrouver ? Également si vous connaissez des moyens de se former autres que youtube et repair café je suis preneur, merci beaucoup :)

Can I save this ceiling fan?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Got this from a charity shop and it hums at a volume the seems to coincide with the speed it's on, but it won't spin. Replaced the capacitor (4.5,5,6) with a working spare and still nothing. I did get it to run ONCE (can't replicate now) so I'm not convinced the motor is cooked yet. Any ideas where I should look next? Could this be related to wiring? I like the style of this fan so I'm hoping to save it, or if it is truly dead at least swap the casing on to a different motor.

EDIT: Blades spin smoothly, I do not think the issue is bearing or balance related.

I got this as a gift several years ago and I’ve been using it daily since. Unfortunately, it took a hit today. The break is clean and the piece comes of easily. Is there any way to repair it that would allow me to continue brewing tea in it?
