Geberit FORS inlet valve service

[@mikefinney423]

Nice video!! Prior to finding this video, I had figured out how to detach the blue latch mechanism. I thought maybe it just wasn't turned to the proper position. But what I didn't see, after several attempts to fix a little leak at that spot, was the insert piece with the silicone diagram. Once this video pointed that out, I grabbed it with a pair of tweezers, cleaned it well, put it back in and reconnected the blue latch. No more leak! I didn't need to mess with the filter. I'll save that task for another day.

Helpful video, thanks. Cleaning the silicon rubber valve didn't help in my case. When I looked at it carefully I realized the silicon was starting to perish. I found a non-genuine but identical replacement silicon rubber valve at Bunnings. That has sorted out the problem for less than $5.

Thanks, armed with this i got out the rusty valve, disassembled it to bits and now water is flowing again. There was a significant build up of rusty sludge in the pipe leading to the top where the blue diapraghm sits. Thanks👍🏼

[@joshfarrington]

Perfect! Thank you. I opened the valve to discover the diaphragm had perished. Now to order a new one. Cheers for the tutorial

This mecanism kept flowing water to fill although already full. I followed the steps, opened everything in pieces, washed. However I was unable to pull the filter out. I changed the mecanism level higher just to change, put it back together and it functions great again. No more nonstop filling.

this video is really helpful..i suppose want to replace my old valve with brand new but when i saw this video i was trying to clean only by following the instruction in this video..i save my money..fantastic

[@awinanto]

At first I did not know how to open the valve but after seeing this video I understand and can clean the valve. Thank you it is very helpful.

Hi Agus, Happy that we could help. If you need spares, don't hesitate to ring.

[@doughyhood5142]

Thank you for this. I was puzzled over how to get the valve off and seeing how it rotates about 45 deg and then lifts away has saved me a lot of worry :) been able to get the spares from Geberit (also on other well known sites) and fitted no problems.

[@GeberitAustralia]

Hi Dough, Happy that it helped. If you need support in the future, just ring 1800GEBERIT.

[@mikecat23]

Thanks. Took the thing apart but didn't see the filter till I saw this video. It had me stumped till that. Was completely blocked.

[@nileshbupadhyay]

Finally one video showing adjustment for water level. Thanks...

[@GeberitAustralia]

You're very welcome!

[@greensimonda]

Great video and very clear. My problem was the blue clip/arm at the top had come out of position. Only when i did this for the second time i realised that it clips in :)

[@scotty677]

[@TaqKoTaqKoTaq]

[@tinaj703]

Thank you! This video just saved us a call out to a plumber!

[@setyabudi8414]

terima kasih atas videonya Alhamdulillah semua dah klear siiiiiiiiip

[@orthodrummer7945]

Just did a simple head seal washed replacement, genuine part and everything now doesn’t work. Happens every time these things only get a couple of years old or less they crack up !!!!!

[@RevoWution]

Hi, my toilet has suddenly started to fill up very slowly and noisily. It looks like a lot of water is leaking out through the silicone diaphragm. I took off the blue plastic bit and inspected the diaphragm and can see quite a few visible cracks and splits in the silicone. Could these splits in the silicone be the culprit?

[@GeberitAustralia]

Hi Nathan, I would suggest to replace the diaphragm and lever. Code is 242.487.00.1. Hope this helps.

[@doodle3762]

Can i still buy new parts for this?

[@skyhififity2792]

Does the water also stream down from this blue connection??

[@SyedShah-nm7xh]

Hi my valve is not filling cistern anyone know the possible reason?
