Push button toilet keeps running instead of filling cistern?
Push button toilet keeps running after flushing so it cannot be flushed again as the cistern does not fill up. Water is flowing into the cistern OK but is coming straight out again. Can anyone help?
The flush valve isn't closing, allowing the water to run straight out into the pan. Either the button is jammed, or the mechanism is jammed/broken or the large sealing washer on the bottom of the flush valve plunger is stiff or damaged/defective. You need to investigate all of the flush valve and the flush button linkage in order to find the exact cause, or you could just replace the whole thing with a quality one, they are not expensive. I like fluidmaster fill and flush valves, I fit those for customers I care about - however other quality brands are available. There is also a great deal of cr*p available in the WC valve marketplace. I dislike Wirquin, for example.
