Hi everyone,
I moved into a newly renovated home about a year ago. One of the renovations was that they put a glacier bay dual flush toilet in the half bath. It is about a year and a half old.
However, the toilet runs constantly. This ONLY happens if the lid is on the toilet. If I leave my lid off, the toilet functions normally.
I've had two plumbers look at it and I'm pretty sure they both just adjusted the water level. The second plumber wasn't here for the toilet, and basically just gave it a quick look for free. I know the second plumber and he also later suggested offsetting the water with a bottle, but that did not work either.
I took myself to YouTube and looked up things I could do...so I tried soap in the center mechanism thing (the video shows removing the button, but my buttons are not removable so I just went directly on top of the center flushing mechanism) and I tried flipping the washer ring around (although the ring is completely new and that was probably a waste of time).
Videos I watched for your knowledge...
I might just get a new toilet at this point, I'm so frustrated with it because it just looks stupid to have to have to top off the toilet alllll the time. And I don't want to keep bothering my friend plumber to come over (we don't live close together) and I don't want to have to keep paying for a plumber to come over for it to just not be fixed.
I just thought that maybe I'd try a plumber forum first.
Do you have any suggestions for what could be happening? If I lift the lid while the toilet is running, it immediately stops, so it makes me feel it is related to the button extenders touching the flush mechanism buttons (I hope that makes sense. I am great at explaining things). I attached pictures of the toilet interior and lid interior. I'm willing to try anything that I won't risk breaking the toilet doing myself. I have a handy father I could have stop over to do something more complicated if need be.
