My toilet flush recently stopped activating the flush. I opened up the tank and noticed a setup that I'm not too used to, and don't really know how to fix yet.
The lid of the tank ends up just pressing either the blue or white button and the flush generally activates. Pressing the button right now doesn't do anything.
I was wondering if there are any simple things to check before I call a plumber. The other flush in a different bathroom works so I don't believe its a general water issue.
First, look at pulling the assembly out and soaking it in vinegar for a few hours. This might dissolve the mineral deposits that seem to have accumulated. That may be what's got it gummed up.
If that doesn't help, replace the valve assembly. It's probably just worn out. It'll almost certainly be much less expensive than a plumber visit. This is very much a DIY project for a motivated individual and is probably available at your local store or online.
Due to some serious deposits your fill valve is stuck in close position.
Gently push down the arm with the screw at the end, that should activate the filling.
Needles to say you have to clean the tank and all in it using some vinegar..
Usually replacing the fill valve is a DIY job, but if you do not feel comfortable get a handyman, no need for plumber.
