Addressing Water Leaking into the Pan
Cause of the Leak
If water is continually leaking into the pan, it’s likely due to the flush rods being pushed in too far. This action keeps the flush valve open, allowing water to flow continuously into the pan.
How to Fix the Leak
- Remove the Flush Plate: Carefully take off the flush plate to access the flush rods.
- Adjust the Flush Rod: Turn the rod to the left to unlock it.
- Reposition the Rod: Pull the rod out slightly to ensure it’s not pushing the flush valve open.
- Lock the Rod: Turn the rod to the right until you hear a click, signifying it’s locked into place.
This adjustment might need a bit of trial and error to get the perfect alignment but it’s a straightforward process.
Fixing a Stuck or Non-Functional Flush Button
How to Fix the Flush Button
- Remove the Flush Plate: Once again, remove the flush plate carefully.
- Adjust the Flush Rod: Turn the rod to the left to unlock it.
- Reposition the Rod: Push the rod in slightly so it can engage correctly with the flush mechanism.
- Lock the Rod: Turn the rod to the right until it clicks into place.
Like the first issue, getting the perfect alignment may require some small adjustments.
