    My toilet won't flush unless we turn the water off and on
    [F] About five day ago my toilet started not to flush. We have figured out that if we turn the water off and back on after a minute that it will flush one time. We have to repeat that step every time we flush. We have a fluidmaster 400 series. What is wrong and how can I fix it? Thanks:confused:
