Due to the rollers were not smooth, the glass panel detached from the sliding door frame after few times forcing the sliding door to move.

Elektrik Rumah Trip disebabkan Autogate

Baru-baru ini eletkrik rumah saya “trip”. Saya on satu-satu MCB untuk tahu mana yang satu yang membuatkan rumah elektrik saya trip.

Saya dapati autogate yang trip. Ianya terus trip walaupun tidak menggunakan autogate. Ini berkemungkinan besar ada masalah wiring dari bekalan elektrik ke autogate.

Untuk pastikan rumah dapat bekalan elektrik saya matikan MCB untuk autogate. Kemudian saya memanggil wireman untuk membaiki masalah trip ini.

Wireman mengunakan wiring asing dari MCB ke autogate. Kemudian on kan MCB autogate. Menggunakan wiring baru ini autogate tidak trip. Ini mengesahkan ada masalah wiring dari MCB ke autogate.

Replace Auto Gate Backup Battery

Every time there was electricity blackout, I couldn’t open my auto gate because its backup battery was out of power. It is time to replace it with new one. At first I thought it was difficult.

Actually it is easy, just need to buy the new battery and plug the new battery and it works. Before plugging new battery, it is recommended you switch off your auto gate MCB first.

Check your old battery voltage and current. Please make sure you buy same voltage and current.

I Tested The Voltage is Same As Old Battery

Auto Gate MCB is off then Unplug The Old Backup Battery

Switch off the Auto Gate MCB.

I bought it at Shopee for RM33.90

Toilet Water Overflow – Replace Toilet Water Inlet of Type Push Button Flush Valve

Recently my toilet always overflow. I suspected it was due to the water inlet kept pumping in water.

My methods to Verify the Water Overflow

1. I adjust the water inlet lower.
2. If #1 fail, check whether there was water coming out from the water inlet hose

toilet diagram
toilet diagram

Adjust the Water Inlet

My water inlet can adjust its float. So I thought at first due to long time the float move by itself. So I lowered down the float.

Outcome: Still overflow

Check Whether Water Coming in from Water Inlet Hose

So I put the water inlet hose near the toilet body overnight. If it was wet then I know the water inlet needs to be replaced.

toilet put water inlet hose to toilet wall

Outcome: Still overflow but the hose was dried.

Conclusion

For me there was only one conclusion because which was the water inlet that caused the water overflow. The water inlet was the only part that allows water to come in.

My Solution – Replace to new Water Inlet

At first I wanted to buy from Shopee which cost only around RM10, but after reading bad review. I decided to buy from a shop that cost me RM22. The quality is good and still works till now. I wanted to buy Techplas but it costs RM33 and at that time, I wasn’t really sure whether the overflow was really due to water inlet or other problems.

Outcome: No more overflow

Notes

I noticed after 8 years I have to change my toilet water inlet. I started to use the toilet in 2013. Now both my toilet water inlets have been replaced to new ones.

Ikea Built In PAX Wardrobe – Experience Installing the Wardrobe Ourselves – DIY

I bought IKEA PAX wardrobe at IKEA Damansara on 29th August 2021 and got it delivered on 31st August 2021. We had 50% discount for delivery thanks to Merdeka day. So we just paid RM35 for delivery.

We bought 2 sets of Ikea Pax Wardrobe with 150 cm (width) x 60 (depth) cm x 236 cm (height).

Why We Chose Ikea Wardrobe?

Guarantee of 10 years

We had good experience with Ikea kitchen cabinet when we had issue with it, Ikea replaced our whole kitchen cabinet for free as it was still under guarantee.

Changeable Configuration

You can change the shelves or add new shelf or drawer easily.

Why We decided To Install Ourselves the Wardrobe?

  1. Actually we didn’t at first. But due to MCO  Covid-19, Ikea didn’t do any installation until further notice.
  2. When we received our Ikea wardrobe boxes, the delivery guy said they can do installation at 10% of total price.
  3. We agreed to the price but they could only do it the next day.
  4. Because we couldn’t wait and were too excited. We decided to install it ourselves.

What Are Tools Required?

Screwdrivers – 2 sets

Most of the time you just need one. But to join 2 frames together easily you need to use 2 screwdrivers.

Ikea gave one female and one male screw to join those 2 frames. So one screwdriver hold one screw while other turn to tighten the other screw.

Cordless screwdriver cum cordless wood drill

Cordless screwdriver uses for closing gap of shelf supports plug and to screw L shape shelf to the frame.

Wood drill bit

You need 2 sizes, the smallest one for the door handle drill and bigger one to make a whole for screw that will be used to join 2 frames.

Water ruler

We used water ruler to ensure door handles were aligned horizontally.

Hammer

Hammer was used to nail the plywood at the back of the wardrobe.

F clamp –  2 sets

F clamp is used to join 2 frames together. IKEA instruction shows that we have to use 2 F clamps but I managed to do it with one F clamp because I only got one.

How Easy it is to do it yourself the Ikea Wardrobe Installation?

Relatively it was easy but it was tiring. It took us nearly 12 hours to complete the whole wardrobe.

The hard part was installing the handle of the door. We made mistakes on it but the mistakes wasn’t that obvious.

 

What mistakes did we make during the installation?

Wood scar on the door handle

If drill from inside the door create wood scar on the exterior of the door. So the right way was to drill from exterior so the wood scar was only visible from the inside.

The L shape shelf

We wrongly assembled the L shape shelf. We had to disassembled and carefully read the IKEA instructions.

Secondly, we didn’t properly screw the L shape shelf to the frame until there was gap between the shelf and the frame body. When this happened, the drawer was stuck, it couldn’t be opened. We had to unscrew and screw it again.

One person drill the screw at the bottom of L shape shelf while the other push it to the side to avoid it from making a gap with the frame.

What tips we can give for anyone wants to do themselves?

Shelf Supports Plug

Use your cordless screwdriver to screw the supports plug to ensure there is no gap between the supports plug and the wardrobe frame.

At first, we tried to screw it manually but there was always a gap and hard to properly put the shelf on top of the supports plug.

The Door Handle Wood Scar Due to Drilling

Use another unused wood at the other side of drilling section to avoid any wood scar as shown in the below videos.

Would we do it by ourselves again?

Yes. Even though it was tiring but we were excited and felt fulfilled when it was successfully assembled.
