    Screeching Toilet after flushing when refilling is complete
    After we flush the toilet a screeching sound occurs at the end of it filling up. Does this have to be fixed? Do I need a plumber?

    It sounds like you have problem with your fill valve, please remove the toilet tank lid, See which one is your fill valve see the Images below, Thanks.

    I checked it out and it is filling fine except at the end when it seems the water is twinkling out the last drops. The level is perfect so far. Our toilet looks like the colored illustration you sent. What do I need to do to fix this?

    It sounds like the problem is with the ball cock, the noise you hear is the washer vibrating against the seat as the tank fills. The solution would be to S/O the water at the angle stop, remove the tank lid and remove the screws on top of the ballcock pull the float ball and stem and washer assembly up and out, Pry the washer out with a flat screw driver and turn it over. With the ballcock still open, slightly turn on the water to flush the supply out. Check the linkage between the flapper and the flush lever. It should have ¼” to ½”of play when your tank is full, see the Image below.

    (Loose washer at end of angle vale stem will also make the noise)
    Good Luck.

    Screeching Toilet after flushing when refilling is complete
    What do I do to stop the screeching in the toilet? The tank is filling and everything flushes down. The fill valve works however at the very end it trinkles at bit. But that is the end and it then screeches. What do I do to fix this?
