Refrigerator Crisper Drawer Repair
In this video I show you how I repaired by clear plastic refrigerator drawer.
You can apply the hot staple as soon as the glue dries, about 20 mins after applying the epoxy.
If you need to glue very small areas, you can try using a toothpick to apply the epoxy.
The epoxy that I used is no longer available. I bought it many years ago. I will link the most popular epoxy on amazon below.

If it doesn't fall out, Give it more time until it loosens up. Give th...

Pry out the wax or hit the jar face down on your palm to release it. The wax may be cracked. The may be loose if you just insert it b...

Thanks bro my touch screen was not working i stopped this and saved money on changing it
Awesome! =)
very interesting, my background is tech support, so i test everything... :) from what i can tell, chris does not show us how to exit adb tools (in windows command prompt). testing this with a new A15 samsung phone (running android v14), universal debloater indicates bloatware packages removed, but when i rebooted my phone, then checked what was running in background (i use noxcleaner to scan for background apps which i highly recommend), nothing had been removed... its always tricky using adb bridge (platform tools)... maybe i missed a step, or adb has to close properly after using universal debloater? adviced welcomed x
Does the app that you selected for removal still show up in the package name viewer app?
@@ChavezDIY hi chris: thanks for quick reply. I havent installed package name viewer (app) , which is a good idea. i cant find correct "exit command" for adb tools, either.. but for command prompt (in windows) its simply "exit". (but does that leave adb tools running in background, i wonder)? no matter... i am a tech, so i always log instructions (from tutorials) , then check off each instruction (so i dont miss anything...) in this case, i dont remember seeing "Allow USB debugging" [dialog box] pop up on my phone (when i enabled it in developer options). when i have chance, i will do another re-run with package name viewer... (using your vid instructions): from what i can tell, most users of universal debloater say it works ok :)
Thanks for this pal
Any time! =)
Looks good! What did you use/do to remove the rubber coating before painting?
Thanks! I used a razor blade and sandpaper. Most of it peeled off easily because the sun damaged the rubber coating.
Every video is a masterpiece! 👏
Thank you for the kind words! =)
I am more than grateful.... it works on pixel 7a
Awesome! =)
i done everything correct still apps not showing in adb
So you don't see a list of recommended apps to remove? The list is created by the developer. If there is no recommended list of apps to remove they don't have a list for your phone. You should still be able to remove the apps that you want to remove.
Thanks !
No problem! =)
How to turn on touch screen please 🥺🥺
Was your touchscreen working before and now its not working? If you cracked the screen and the touchscreen function stopped working, the hardware that controls the touchscreen is probably damaged. The only fix for that is to replace the whole screen (LCD with touchscreen digitizer included).

hi sir in my google pixel 7 its not working any solution to this sir
This does not work on newer phones. Check the video description for additional information.
Literally "I used the stones to destroy the stones"
Haha =)
This is a big industry in China, making cheap fake replacement auto parts: sparkplugs, headlamp bulbs, windshield washer blades, oil and air filters ...
Yikes! That's terrible.
Thank you so much✨
You’re welcome 😊
An excellent step by step video showing to put the swicth back together, but still watche a few times to figure out. You saved me $6.99 for a new on on Amazon. Thank You.
Awesome! Good work repairing it yourself. It's like one of those brain teaser puzzles, hehe =)

Спасибо большое видео помогло! Я уже купил новую зарядку для хромбука, а она тоже не заряжала, после просмотра видео и удержания кнопки 30 секунд начала заряжать! Вот блин почему я не нашёл это видео раньше))
Awesome!! =)
This is the best tutorial
Thanks for the feedback! =)
What about tempered glass ? maybe working better ?
Found your answer : czcams.com/video/LU-aJz4SIBg/video.html
I only buy tempered glass screen protectors.
Super clear instructions, love it. Thank you.
Awesome! You're welcome! =)
Many thanks from Georgia.🙏🏼🙏🏼
My pleasure! =)
I Changed the rectifier it starts for two seconds and then blows the breaker and I got 10 rectifiers and tried to same thing
1. Try a different outlet 2. Try a different extension cord, thicker one. 100ft cord should have at least 14 gauge wire, 12 gauge is better. 3. Test rectifier for short circuit. czcams.com/video/CkFzYDrCmjM/video.htmlsi=G3hsZ8xw0HTEG2ht&t=211 If it continues to trip the breaker after replacing the rectifier, the electric motor has a short circuit somewhere else.
This is kind of like a “How to replace a ceiling fan switch for dummies” which I appreciate because it is exactly what I needed! Not saying I’m a dummy yet I needed every single step broken down and explained, more importantly showing each process along the way. This was the only video I found that did that. Granted I only watched like 4 but either way it is perfect and I’m so grateful for you doing this, thank you so much! And more thanks for the additional tips! 🎉
I appreciate the feedback! My goal is to provide as much information as possible to help people do their own repairs. Good work fixing it yourself! =)
How can I get the plug sir
I have a link to authorized sellers in the video description. Any major auto parts will have them like Napa, AutoZone, OReily, Pep Boys.
Do they fit pur pitchers?
I don't know. Ask that question on the amazon product page to see if someone responds.
The best video, very explicit. Thank you, greetings from Argentina.
I'm glad it was helpful! =)
Thanks for the useful video 😊
My pleasure 😊
Tysm!
You're welcome! =)
Great video. Thank you
You're the first person to comment on this video. Thank you for the feedback! Took me some time to learn how to troubleshoot it. Good luck working on your dryer! =)
I find it interesting that three people gave my video a thumbs down, haha. Ya can't please everyone =)
@@ChavezDIY I just followed your steps and fixes my dryer.
Super helpful. Thank you. The bonus tips were very good.
I'm glad it was helpful! =)
Do I have to remove the drain bolt from the filter before trying to remove the housing?
No, don't have to drain the bolt at all. In the video description I posted a link to my video where I discuss this. I don't remove the bolt to drain the filter housing anymore because its faster if you skip that step.
Bro thanks i was tracing on my chrome book but it kept moving thanks bro
You're welcome! =)
What browser is That
Chrome browser.
Fake ngk spark plugs have been a big problem. I bought a set from Amazon and installed them, and 3 weeks later, one caused a misfire, and the electrode on spark plug was burnt off ...I message ngk website and they ask for photos ..so I sent a few they said they are not genuine..I bought a new set from o'reilly my car been running great for 3 months now.
Damn that sucks. I try to get my plugs from authorized sellers like Auto Zone, O Reilly, Napa, etc. I won't wanna worry about engine problems due to fake plugs.
dude thank you so much all other video are for common user and just disable it but ur like an angel of the software FOR REAL!Thanks so much may god bless you and your family =D
Thank you for the feedback! Happy to be able to help. Bless you too! =)

THANK YOU so much! I watched videos to replace the switches, bought some, but was too aggressive and popped the cover off! I tried multiple times to put it back on with spring, no luck. Was about to buy another switch but thankfully found your video!! Of course bc the wheel wasn’t catching the flap like you said it needed to! I just fixed it thanks to you! Wish I just saw your video to fix the old one instead but alas!
I"m glad to hear that the video was helpful. Good job fixing it yourself. You're always learning, keeping moving forward. =)
Thank you so much for this video
You are so welcome! =)
Can you use a light switch for the fan?
I don't know, I never tried it.
Mine blows cool but not cold. Any tips would really be appreciated.
Have you tried opening the unit and cleaning the condenser coil and evaporator coil? In the video description I posted a link to my video on how to clean the coils.
THANK YOU SO MUCH BRO!!!
You're welcome brother! =)
How to unlock a Pixel 5a when the home computer is a chromebox?

I just paid over $100 at an oil change place. I am doing this myself next time! Vote Trump so we can afford life again
That's a high price. If you don't want to do it yourself, Walmart is cheaper for oil changes. Full-synthetic premium oil: $58.88. Standard oil change is $39
Thanks for this. In my 30 years I've just never had to replace these so when it didn't initially come up, I knew I was missing something super obvious. Now I won't look dumb in front my of my wife and son... this time 😂
I tried and looked dumb, but I was by myself, haha. Heck I even bought the wrong wiper blade because I didn't know it was different from the front windshield wipers. It's really easy once you figure it out =)
Bro we need people like you !!!! This is LIFE SAVING! Waaaaay better quality than almost all videos!
Thank you for the warm feedback! I'm just trying to help people do their own work after being ripped off by mechanics when I was younger.
I do change that gasket only if I see leaks. So I do drain the canister like every 3 oil changes. No problem
I check it to make sure it's not leaking, we'll see how long it can go without changing. AMD from the Car Care Nut channel said he has seen those seals last for 100k miles.
awesome tips!
Glad it was helpful! Cheers to good food! =)
Excellent video. With older electrical contacts, you want to use a contact cleaner and not a lubricant. I suggest Deoxit d5 spray contact cleaner. A little more expensive, but worth it. You want to remove the oxidation from the copper / metal contacts.
Thank you for those tip on the contact cleaner.
Can't connect my phone, neither with this nor any other tutorial. USB debugging is on (developer mode is on), data transfer is activated, doesn't change anything, my phones just doesn't show up/is unable to connect to ADB/Fastboot Tool and UAD. Edit: No matter what I do, open as admin etc., I ALSWAYS get: daemon not running; starting no at tcp:5037" could not read ok from ADB server *failed to start daemon error: cannot connect to daemon" and "adb.exe: failed to check server version: cannot connect to daemon" No adb.exe in task manager, so no way to stop it (if it was running and that was the problem), port 5037 (and 5555) are not used/limited... I don't know what else to do.
Try to revoke USB debugging authorizations and start over. With your phone unplugged from the computer, go back into Developer Options in your phone settings and scroll down to the debugging section. Click on Revoke USB debugging authorizations, click "ok". Try this tutorial again starting from the first step.
still can not
Sorry to hear that. Sounds like it may be a hardware related issue with the touch function on the screen.
