The toilet tank doesn't fill up properly. I have replaced the flap several times during the past 24 months. I have come to the conclusion that the whole flushing system has to be replaced with something more simple. The system appears to be somewhat fragile. The flap doesn't cover the drain hole properly. As a consequence, there is a continuous leak. I called in a plumber who suggested a new toilet. The toilet is 8 years old and I don't think that is the sollution. I need a plumber who knows how to repair a Kohler toilet. I live in Chatham (07928). Any ideas? Rick

I want to answer my own question...... My Original Question is What if the water flow from the toilet tank shuts off to the bowl before it should stop?

There is a float that shuts the water off when it comes up to the level is was set for. It is adjustable, but it can also be defective. You can but a whole new flushing mechanism in a Home Depot, or Loews, or other hardware store. But first try to adjust the float. If the float is sticking, I would replace it.

When you turn on the supply the tank fills ok. I don't know the mechanism in your tank but fixed a similar problem. Check the flap that releases water to flush, if it CLOSES properly after flush otherwise it lets the water into the toilet continuously making the sound. IF closed properly, the tank fills.

There could be several reasons why it won't refill. It could be the fill valve, which can be replaced with a standard fill valve located at any hardware store. The more likely reason is the stem inside the shut-off of the toilet has broken off inside the valve. This is very common when a valve is older and usually doesn't get shutoff. If this is the case, a new shut-off valve must be soldered on.

Sounds like something in the floating device is bad so it doesn't shut off when filled. We just replaced our flush valve on ours because the toilet keep running.

Hi keithn60...

I had the same problem one time with my toilet tank, the answer is to put some silicone on the seal washer between the take and bowl assembly and to use a level on the tank to tighten it just enough to be level and not leak.

I flush the toilet, tank fills up and cuts off, but the water leaks out, then the tank cuts back on to fill up and this is a vicious cycle.

Go to the hardware store and get a new flush valve flap made by Korky and install it. Your flush valve flap has worn out and allowing water to leak through.

The fix for this issue is the water flow tube most likely came out and is running into the tank instead of the overflow tube. Here's a picture of what it should look like. The tube must come out during shipping. Once I put the tube back in no issues with splashing! And until I figured this out I was about to return it to Lowes!

Kohler toliets can be a pain to repair. I have found with them that the only thing to do with them is go to a plumbing company, take the model number with you and replace all in the inner parts to it. You will replace the fill valve and flush valve. After I do this on Kohler I don't have anymore problems with them. It should work for you, just make sure they are Kohler parts. Good Luck
