An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Yesterday the handle to the freezer door broke off in my hand as I was openning it.
I've had it for 10 years so it did laat a while.
I was able to find and order the part online from a local vendor and to my surprise it arrived this afternoon (ordered last night around 19:00).
I looked up the instructions and almost laughed at how simple it is. Installed in less than a minute.
Very satisfying!
Man, good work.
I'm impressed the part was available, anywhere (and then for a reasonable price!). That can be a real challenge with appliances
Its the entire door and it was actually available widely for lots of unreasonable prices. I think it is a common part used in multiple units.
Luckily I found a local discout seller with a good price and stock on hand.
Love ordering parts and then actually being able to fix things. Last year the electric kettle wouldn't stay on, switch would just flip back to "off". Had to order a new bimetal switch from Taiwan but it was a real easy install, just 3 screws. I feel good about myself every time I turn it on haha.
Welcome to the club brother.
Oh wow, I've been working with a broken freezer handle since I moved and just painfully deal with it for now 🤡
Great work!
I've been able to easily repair a gas furnace, dishwasher, and laundry machine by watching videos to help diagnose the problem and then ordering a part. Easily saved myself over a thousand. Feels good.
Thanks and right on! I love repairing things, feels good indeed.
Happy freezing!
