the fill valve is not letting water in you either have a float that raises up when water is full so when you flush the float drops down letting water in then when water raises it shuts off i would replace the float fill valve and corky flapper.... here is what you do .... first shut water off where it goes up to the tank....... flush commode to empty as much water from tank....... reach up under tank there is a plastic coupling that connects the water supply line to the bottom of the toilet tank...put a small pan under the shut off valve that goes to the toilet some water is going to drain from the tank when you take the coupling loose..... turn the coupling counter clockwise ( use a channel lock adjustable wrench to loosten then had turn) once this is loose you can pull the riser tube away from the tank...... now there is a plastic nut that screws the shaft to the bottom of the tank loosten with channel lock then remove with hand by turning counter clock wise ( you will get a bunch of water flowing down to the pan) remove the entire fill valve , replace with a fluidmaster fill valve ( about 8 bucks from big box store when you take the new fill valve out of the box there is a neopreme seal you must put on the new threaded shaft ( it has an inner ring you may have to punch out) once you put this on you can insert the entire shaft down through the hole in tank then secure with thin nut provided tighten but do not overtighten then put coupling back on,,,,,put the over flow tube on the tit of the fill valve and stick down into over flow ok thats done when you go to big box store purchas a 5 buck corky flapper (red caus it can handle chlorine water better) remove the old one at bottom of tank( just two clips to remove and chain attached to flush lever...install new one be shure chain does not have a lot of slack so it does not fall under flapper seal when you flush......OK YOU ARE DONE TURN WATER ON WATCH TANK FILL LOOK FOR LEAKS TAKE A TOWEL AND DRY ALL AREAS THEN TAKE YOUR HAND AND FEEL FOR LEAKS UNDER TANK AND DOWN TO SHUT OFF VALVE .....CONGRATS YOU DID IT!

1. I changed one in my 76 recently. Loosen bolts on the side towards the rear of toilet. remove water line. (shutoff first) pull straight up to remove. I t is pretty easy.

Not fixable, need to replace.

The mechanism controlling the water is worn. Replace it if you can't get a kit to replace the worn parts.

You follow the instructions.

Didn't the toilet come with instructions? If not, get them online.

use the adjustment clip and pull off...reinstall by leaving a few links on chain for slack...try a few times to see if ok...good luck..

I had that happen due to water level on being high enough in tank. I increased my tank water and problem stopped for me. I also adjusted the flapper chain that also helped. I also replaced the flapper and it was also worn out.

this could be problem...you could strip out screw if you try to hard...try pushing in hard as you turn...you could spray with jb blaster lube spray and let sit for 30 minutes or so and retry...keep this up until it loosens...

you should have installed some type of control limiter...did it not come with one...look at instructions and you should see that part...check this and see...

sounds like the temp limiter is either missing or not engaged properly...you have to remove handle and check if plumber install this or not...good luck

pull heads and make sure no trash in system....

Just from what you described it sounds like it works if you bypass the float? Then you have a bad float, or it is stuck.
