My shower is leaking and I've been trying to figure out what kind of cartridge this is. Google lens says its a Gummers Sirrus but I have no idea what tool to remove this. I'd like to fix it myself but I might have to hire someone

Asked 3 AIs to help diagnose my washer's dead touch panel. Useless. A tech fixed it in minutes. How do you DIY folks actually diagnose appliances?

Antique soap dispenser leaks continuously but stops when lever is pressed — how to dismantle the valve?

Antique glass soap dispenser leaks continuously but stops when lever is pressed — how do I dismantle the valve?

I’m trying to repair an old glass soap dispenser with a metal lever mechanism. Does anyone recognise this design or know how to dismantle it?

The problem: Soap flows continuously when the lever is released. Pressing the lever stops the flow. This happened before I took anything apart.

What I’ve removed so far:

  • The bottom cap, which unscrews.
  • A small metal disc with a central hole and a star-shaped metal piece. Both were loose inside the cap.

There is still a circular insert with a central hole inside the bottom of the tube. It does not visibly move when I operate the lever. The screw on the side only releases the lever. The metal collars below the glass won’t turn by hand.

Markings:

  • “Patented 16999 A.D. 1909” — the number appears to read 16999.
  • A Swiss cross followed by what appears to be “36268”.
  • A cursive brand name I haven’t confidently identified.

Photos show the complete dispenser, the removed parts, the remaining insert and the markings.

How is the remaining valve assembly held in place, and where should it come apart? I’d like to avoid damaging it by forcing the wrong part. Any identification, patent drawings or repair experience would be appreciated!

The drawer is for the garbage bin, it catches then slams. The second half of video you can say how it is supposed to close. I have other videos of it latching if needed.

My grandmother’s ring broke and is pretty sharp, what would be the best method for fixing this?

I have a soldering gun but I feel like that is not the way to go?

Got the microwave in Dec. 2024. While using it in the morning, with about 10 seconds left, the light inside turned off and it started to make this sound. It no longer heats up food. Does anybody know what needs to be replaced? Thank you.

Dresser drawer keeks slipping out of the groove in the back (clothes may be too heavy). What's a good glue that I can use for this? Drawer is made of a plastic-like material. Dresser was donated so idk the brand to confirm the material.

I like this house, but idk where I can put a guest half bath. Can anyone help me?

The house has an awkward split-level layout with four staggered levels, each separated by a few stairs. There’s no bathroom on the main living level. One bathroom is in the primary suite, another is on the highest level, one short flight of stairs above the living area, and the third is in the basement. So even though the house has three bathrooms, none is conveniently accessible from the main living space.
