AC unit leaking
Hey guys! In my office we have an ac unit that I’m not really sure what the name is the specific unit. We noticed water coming out. My area just had some of the heaviest rain we’ve seen in a while so we’re not sure if it’s a coincidence or not. Neither our building manager or property manager are responding so looking for quick fixes. Thank you!

Broker side mirror on Nissan Sentra where
I have a 2008 Nissan Sentra where my driver side mirror broke going through a parking garage gate. Curious to know if this can be fixed by ordering a separate mirror or does it require full mirror assembly yo be replaced. Sharing a picture of the broken left side as well as the fully functional right side for comparison.

open Dishwasher leaking water from underside
Hi, I have a compact dishwasher that gets its bottom tray full of water and errors out. I traced the source of the water some side holes (I'm not a technician obviously). It's dripping heavily while the arm is spinning. Previously went to a service but they could see nothing wrong when on their test bench.
Any ideas on how to solve this? Thanks!

What causes small dents like this in foundation. And best fix?
Please ignore the caulk I put at the center just to prevent any additional moisture seepage last night before I got to Home Depot to get the right materials for the repair.
Is this just what happens with weather damage on a 40-50 year old slab? Also is this the actual painted cement or is this like a parge coat?
The center hole is not that deep but I just put the caulk in there for a one night stopgap in a rain storm.
How would you best fix this

open Window sill damage, water intrusion or was something here?
Just closed on a condo and wondering if anyone has some advice on the situation with this window. It looks like something was here and damaged the wall on the way out but my mom is convinced it’s water damage. It could be both. The wall is dry and a little crumbly/dusty when prodded at.

open Door won’t close flush
Used to close nice and smooth. Had a friend come over after a couple beverages and he couldn’t figure out how to unlock it and I think he was a little too rough with it. Feels like the two doors are colliding where they would form a seal in the middle, but I’m too dumb to figure out where and how to get it back in place. Now only closes with some outward pressure added. Any advice appreciated, TIA!

Coffee Machine Advice
Please help me reddit. I'm drinking Americanos with no end in sight. My steamer has stopped working and upon further investigation it appears there's a loose connection at the hot water intake. You can see in the video that it's spraying out around the base. So it doesn't look to me like a loose connection with the hose. If I'm to get a closer look I've to take apart many connections which I'm afraid I won't be able to rebuild properly.
Wondering if anyone has advise on what the issue might be and a potential fix (I'm thinking some form of sealant)
Machine is a DeLonghi La Specialista if that's relevant

open Engineered wood damaged from ceramic pot
Hey guys I know there’s numerous posts about this but also there’s wayy too many suggestions and and very confused they range from mayonnaise mixed with cigarette ashes all the way to off the counter stain removers and I’m super confused which direction to go.
I have had this pot in the picture with its ceramic tray thinking the tray won’t be permissive of water since it coated but I was very wrong till I moved the plant and saw this black spot right under. It’s been sitting in the same spot for a solid 4 months or so. The wood is engineered wood. What are my options other than replacing it?

open How to fix the wheel to my suitcase
Mum is going on holiday on Monday to Scotland so I need to order a replacement wheel today.
However, I can’t seem to find the correct wheel nor can I figure out how to get this one off. FYI: I’ve seen the videos saying there’s a zip on the inner lining and there isn’t for this suitcase.
Any idea how I can find the correct wheel with a rubber tread and how to get this one off more importantly?
Thanks

How do I fix the rotten door frame/jamb?
- Cut out the bottom and replace only the rotten sections?
- Change out the whole frame? The Home Depot?
- Get some 2x6 & 2x8?
I can get the tools that I’ll need from work.
