SYMPTOMS PROBABLE CAUSES CORRECTIVE ACTION 1. Float valve turns on/off by itself without toilet being flushed. 2. Float valve continues to run, allowing water to enter tank. Button pole is too long, which makes the flush valve on always. Flush valve flapper ball worn, dirty or misaligned with flush valve seat; or seat corroded so flapper will not seal. Foreign particles lodged under the float valve seal (located under float valve cap). Float valve seal (located under float valve cap) may be cracked or split. C. Tank water level set above overflow level. D. Water leaking past flush ball. E. Trip lever binding, holding flush ball open. Adjust the length of the poles. Confirm the poles just touch the flush valve. Inspect, clean and, if necessary, replace flapper ball and/or seat. Shut off water supply; remove float valve cap assembly by rotating 1/8 turn counterclockwise. Cover uncapped lower valve unit with an inverted cup (holding it to prevent overspray), and turn water on and off a few times. Clean float valve seal surface (located under float valve cap). Replace float valve cap assembly by engaging lugs and rotating 1/8 turn clockwise. Turn water on. Install filter in supply line to prevent recurring problems. Replace seal. C. During fill cycle, hold float under water a few seconds to allow it to fill with water ballast. Refer to "Minor Adjustment of Water Level" for waterline adjustment. D. Replace flush ball. E. Turn trip lever nut clockwise to loosen until trop lever no longer binds.. Incorrect water level height. Valve float cup does not contain enough water to provide required ballast. Float height incorrect. During fill cycle, hold float under water a few seconds to allow it to fill with water ballast. Refer to "Minor Adjustment of Water Level" for waterline adjustment. 4. Long or noisy tank fill cycle. Plugged valve inlet or supply line. Perform Corrective Action 2. 5. Poor flush. Water level is too low. Trapway or rim holes are obstructed. C. Soil pipe or vent is obstructed. D. Supply shut-off valve not fully open. 6. Toilet overflows. Toilet trapway is obstructed. Soil pipe or vent is obstructed. Adjust water tank level. Unclog trapway; clean rim holes. C. Clear obstruction from soil pipe or vent. D. Open supply shut-off valve. Use plunger to unclog. Clear obstruction from soil pipe or vent pipe. -7-
