    Toilet tank problem
    The tank flushes but no water returns to the tank- the valve is open and working fine- it has a fluidmaster can shaped flusher in it- there are no leaks- and its not making any kind of sounds- it just doesn't fill up.

    Hi Sue

    It sounds like the FILL VALVE SEAL is clogged with sediment or has broken/dislodged... ;)

    Check out this video.:



    You may not even need a replacement seal... may just be clogged and need to be cleared. However, if needed, the replacement seal is available at any home supply store.

    Start here and let us know what happens, OK?

    That was awesome. My favorite part was the 'bad seal', lol.
