4 Common Toilet Repairs for Beginners

[@armandofbls]

Thank you for that video really helped me figure out what was going on…

[@HacksbyDad]

Glad it helped! 👍😎

[@Philip-mq4wp]

This is the best video I have ever watched and it's so clear every step is clearly explained in detail excellent job😅

[@HacksbyDad]

Thanks... much appreciated! It's comments like this that keep me pushing ahead. 😎

[@justincarpenter6147]

After watching about 10 videos, you showed the best examples. People go straight to "how to replace a fill valve" without any troubleshooting. Thank you for this excellent content. Troubleshooting feels like 99% of the work when plumbing but only 1% of the plumbing content on KZbin.

You’re welcome and thank you for the kind words! 👍😎

I have two types of toilets in my house one is a Briggs and the other is a Kohler (hope I spelled it right) , anyway my fill valve kept refilling only like a 1/2 inch every say 20min. and I did everything this video suggested ( well done Sir. ) anyway the problem turned out to be the large white nut for the seal from the tank to the toilet (it was lose) so took everything apart and tighten it problem solved, So this is just one more step if you become stumped. I hate Kohler toilets oh and those cone shaped fill cylinders on a kohler toilet I would get rid of them and only by fluid master units anyway project done all good thank you Hacks buy Dad great job

[@HacksbyDad]

Thanks for sharing! I'll add that to my troubleshooting list. 😎

Wonderful video. I got exactly the same flusher. Your steps are perfect. I replaced the flusher, because every time I flush , it takes for ever to fill and most of the water drops in the seat while filling the tank. I looked for videos and found yours. I’m going to check the valve exactly like you did, I hope it’ll solve the problem. Thank you 🙏

[@HacksbyDad]

You're welcome! I hope you fix all the problems and end up with a perfectly working toilet. 😎

[@henryfrater3371]

This is great. Thank you sir. I am keen to start taking on some more responsability around the house and your channel looks like the perfect place to help!! Thank you 👏

[@HacksbyDad]

You’re welcome! I hope you find some of my videos helpful. 👍😎

[@kurtmershon6370]

thank you. Somehow the cheapest replacement parts kit I could find developed a blister on my flapper valve seal. I punctured the blister, and that was it. I don't think flapper valve seal blister was covered in the video, but the video gave me enough to walk through it to the finish. Thanks!

[@HacksbyDad]

A blister? I haven’t heard that before. 👍😎

[@SlickClicks]

I seem to have a different type of fill valve than what you show here without the adjustment screw, etc. Any suggestions on where to find information on that. Also my tank seems to leak both into the toilet and outside on to the floor. But the bottom surface underneath the fill valve area seems dry

[@HacksbyDad]

Is it a Fillmaster fill valve? The leak outside could be from the tank to bowl connection. See if you can see or feel water dripping or running down the backside of the bowl.

[@cesargamarro3468]

Very good info, watched just the first half of the video and I learned what I needed to learn, thanks a lot!

[@HacksbyDad]

Hey… go back and watch the 2nd half! Ha! Just kidding! 😎

[@LKGB-f5l]

Thank you so much this is exactly the solution to the problem I had in my toilet!

[@ubiskenasduseikenas]

This video does not help anymore when every toilet has different system now :(

[@ethanchen8845]

How can I fix my toilet when the fill valve goes down but the toilet doesn't fill back up with water?

[@llk3763]

mine did that - long delay before refill. I turned the fill valve float screw counter clockwise all the way. Now works as should. Keep the water level at least 1/2" below top of overflow pipe.

[@LightSpeedDevil]

Can someone explain how the internal mechanism for the fill valve works?

[@HacksbyDad]

I sure can… How Fluidmaster 400 Series Fill Valves Work kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqjcn3turbuXr5o 😎

[@Johnett-ij1tv]

How do you slowly flush the valve the part with the cup over it

[@HacksbyDad]

Slowly open the supply valve. 😎
