The flapper in the tank of my commode closes too soon for the bowl to fill up completely. If I manually hold the flapper up foe an extra couple of seconds it fills the bowl like it should. This has just started happening. Any help appreciated.

Check your water level in the tank before you engage the flush. Do you have a ball lever for the flush valve? Or a float?

Also you have to make sure your chain for the flapper flips it all the way up, and your handle and rod assembly is tight. Let me know if any of these suggestions help.
