    Toilet Tank Not Refilling (Plus Backing Up)

    I attached 2 photos. First, I am concerned that there does not appear to be a mechanism to turn off the water to the toilet. There is no obvious lever or control mechanism at the base of the braided tube. I assume that unless I can turn off the water, there is nothing I can do to repair the...

    I am writing on behalf of a friend whose toilet I do not have access to today - will check it tomorrow. The tank will not refill when the flush lever is activated. In addition, the toilet was blocked with you-know-what, but I suspect this is not the primary issue as my friend was able to...

    Failed Air Conditioner

    Yes, it is indeed a mini-split unit. I am quite sure he did not replace any parts - he was tinkering with some sort of fuse panel (I assume) out on the balcony as well as the circuit breaker panel in my apartment. In any event, problem solved.

    Removing Recessed Light from Ceiling

    Hello. I am trying to remove this light from the ceiling. Note the three tabs separated by 120 degrees - am I supposed to"press" them as part of the removal process? That does not seem very practical, not least since I have only 2 hands and there are 3 tabs. Note, also, that the white ring...
