Fix That Leak - change Geberit Fill Valve Washer

[@jaybledsoe5285]

Well thought out and organized. Clearly shot and described; recommend highly if your Geberit toilet is slowly leaking

[@brownbear100]

Even though it turned out the cause of the running toilet was a build up of limescale preventing smooth operation and so a running toilet, this video gave me the confidence to know I could get in there without flooding the bathroom. In my case we have a space save cistern, so some disassembly was required inside the less deep tank - nonway the flush and valve wiuld come out otherwise, but I got there in the end. All it took was a clean and I could get it running again. Thank you!

Huge help. Clear instructions, including little tips (like easing it a bit left or pull it up then then to the left) so you don’t burn an hour pinching what they said you should pinch over and over again the thing is not going to budge. Thanks so much

[@Lakes_David]

Thanks. This video gave me the confidence to take the unit apart, clean it and replace a burst hose. Save a LOT of money.

[@jeremynassau14]

Thank you. This enabled me to fix the toilet myself (inlet valve diaphragm). Much appreciated

[@spelakranjc5523]

You saved me! The trick about making sure that it's set properly is a step I have been missing for an hour! Thank you 👍😊

[@gregcaie4614]

Awesome thanks. Most videos just cover the flush valve washer change, this is gold. Thanks!

This may help someone as not all Geberit faceplates have the clip at the bottom. I watched loads of videos and the clip is always shown at the bottom. I spent a frustrating time trying to get mine off (by pushing upwards) and almost breaking it in the process. Mine (a 2017 model) has the metal spring clip on the LEFT side. Therefore to remove the faceplate you need to push it to the right then unclip the right-hand edge. HTH. Cheers from UK.

This is very true and means you don't have a Sigma cistern, this video is only for the sigma cistern as that's the one I have, Geberit do a whole range of different models, like Kappa, Delta, Omega, this video is purely for the Sigma cistern. The other cisterns flush plates operate from the side, Sigma from the bottom, also the gap to access the internals is smaller on other models and the internals are slightly different in the others although very similar so you can work it out based on my video here, as it's pretty much exactly the same procedure. Always happy to help if you're struggling in the future.

I found the valve washer was ripped, I have replaced it.the problem solved. Thank you.

[@ARB4957]

Hi Stan, I disassembled, checked and cleaned my system as per your splendidly clear (and very useful) videos - then (even tho' my French is a bit rusty) I reassembled everything and, lo and behold, everything is working properly again 🙂 Thank you so much.

[@shoukrysidrak8058]

It is great, I was able to fix my toilet leaking in three minutes. Thank you so much. I really appreciate.

[@sticktothefacts8061]

This and the accompanying video saved me a lot of money and headaches, thank you. I have a traditional external cistern, but the stuff inside was the same. My local DIY shop (Bunnings in Australia) had replacement washers etc for this brand which helped a lot. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@brookesagencies]

Glad I could help, thanks for the kind words!

[@millsybonce1]

I had exactly this problem and the video was so so helpful. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge 😀

[@jamespaulden9547]

Great video this. It was exactly what I needed to see as I tackled my Geberit cistern. Step by step, clear as you like. Spot on!

[@brookesagencies]

Appreciate it, glad it helped you get it sorted!

How to change the golden brass valve

[@robyndow9964]

Does anyone know if this Is this similar to a Geberit Kappa concealed cistern?

[@brookesagencies]

Yep pretty much it’s the same , you’ll need a screwdriver to remove the kappa back plate and it’s a bit tighter to get your hands in and mess around but it’s the same principle with the fill valve and flush valve

[@robyndow9964]

@@brookesagencies Thank you

[@alial-temimi8751]

ءwe have the Giberet toilet installed in 2012 and from the description it is most likely Kappa It is leaking Today have watched this very useful video,I managed to open it and disassemble all the parts ,cleaned it thoroughly and I could not see and damaged washers,I have taken a photo to the base of the cistern as it it is not visible. I could not see any break in the inlet washer. After reassembly still I can see water running in the toilet as before .Any idea or suggestions what to do next before calling a plumber. Thank you in advance

[@James-bj2ml]

Save me a lot of money 💰 thanks

[@brookesagencies]

Glad you sorted it, thanks for watching

[@louismoran]

My water is still running after I’ve turned it off and flushed it

[@brookesagencies]

@@louismoran it will be your flush valve, something is either stopping it dropping fully or your washer is blistering and needs changing, try this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/opa0hZqfirKtj5Ysi=TSE1kWenOk98Ldno

[@louismoran]

@ can it be done even if the water won’t turn off from the valve?

[@brookesagencies]

@@louismoran no, the water needs to be turned off as in the video before doing this otherwise it will keep trying to refill . The flush valve video will show you how , it’s very easy, but you may need to replace your washer as it may be blistered and bubbled, link to buy that is in the description of this video. 👍
