This was handy to learn what wasn't my problem. I traced my problem to the "flush or trap handle" after exploring the problem suggested by this video. Kohler has a mechanism that fits into a square hole on the outside of the toilet. The actual chrome handle has to be able to move through this mechanism in order to full and release the chain. After time the plastic mechanism can expand and tighten down on the small metallic pipe that actually goes from the handle to the metal (or plastic) rod that attaches to the flush chain. My fix was to gently drill out the plastic locking section of the "flush handle mechanism" so that the metal rod was no longer hanging up when used. This allowed the mechanism to work properly and no longer hang up when flushing the toilet. No more annoying running toilet. I haven't seen this mentioned on any other Kohler repair video so thought I'd post it here in case anyone want to update their presentations.
Thank you!!! I asked my hubby to take a look at the toilet and he said "call a plumber, that looks complicated" - I have to tell you he typically fixes everything! I mean everything! His response surprised me, so I googled and found your video, ran off to HD, and fixed it myself. I texted him "I fixed the toilet!" - His response "What? I guess you don't need me anymore" LOL.. Thanks again!
HAHAHA That's awesome Thanks For Watching Shelley Griesemer. Glad I could help. Just do me a favor and don't put him on the couch tonight 😂
LOL... won't to do that... I promise!
Some man you have… you sure he’s the husband?
Same here my husband said the hose doesn't go in the hole and we had no water in the bowl
Same with my husband , he said look up a video on youtube 😂
I just bought one of these newer style toilets and for the life of me, could not get the tank to fill up! Turns out my assembly wasn't even tightened. Your video led to me discovering this and I was able to fix the problem! Thank you!!!!
Thanks! Readjusting the seal worked (you might not have to replace it). Keep in mind that turning the cylinder is hard so you might feel like you’re breaking it.
I’m a home owner and I hate plumbing so imagine my face when the wife said the toilet keeps ringing 🤦🏻♂️ so I ran to UA-cam and after seeing a few videos saying to completely dismantle and that I need a special tool ( wrench ) to dismantle I was like 🤦🏻♂️. So after watching you video I was extremely thankful for you making this video. Your a life saver. Now I can get back to beer 🍺 and couch. And thanks for making me look like a hero cheers and I liked and subscribed to you. 😜👍
Wow! That was easy! My house got flooded with storm surge from Hurricane Ian (Sept 28th '22) so the entire area of homes have to have the walls and cabinetry torn out and redone. I scored a Kohler toilet that a neighbor had set to the curb for FEMA to pick up. I plumbed it in this morning and darn if it didn't have the exact problem you covered here! I popped the offending gasket loose all the way around the groove. It was very compacted in that slot so I just stretched it out all the way around and reassembled the center part of the tower and the seal is perfect. Thank you for the well explained simple fix. I would suggest folks just doing what I did first before spending for the new gasket.
My commode took 7 minutes to stop running after every flush, and thanks to you I just turned the screw thing 2 clicks counter-clockwise and it works perfectly now. THANK YOU!!!!
A million people give instructions to replace the seal on a canister flush valve, but nobody shows how to replace the canister itself. I’ve replaced the valve so many times I could do it in my sleep. What do I do if that doesn’t fix the problem?
Please don’t misunderstand my comments. You’re putting this info out for others at no charge, and that’s commendable. I’m just frustrated (and the Kohler video turned off comments - so I can’t complain to them).
Thank you for your video.
I simply flipped over the rubber seal, wiped it off a little, and also where it contacts the base of the tank around the hole, and it's worked so far at no cost.
I like how your just up front and honest and you do what you do to teach us how to do it in an American way. Thanks buddy.
This is exactly what my running toilet looked like inside. I replaced the fill valve with a Flowmaster universal, $20 at Home Depot, and now it’s fine. So easy to install too. I’m a 67 year old widow whose husband used to take care of this kind of thing. If I can do it, anybody can.
So glad to hear that it worked out for you Thanks For Watching .
Thank you. The orange ring/gasket on mine was deteriorating. I replaced it as you explained and this resolved the problem. Thank you again!
I was having this very problem, and thanks to your video and a trip to Home Depot, my toilet is operating like new again. Thank you so much for putting up this video, Geoff.
Not A problem man glad it works for you and THANKS For watching . :þ
My 1 yr old Koehler (looks exactly the same!) has been doing exactly this for the last 24 hours. Thank you for doing this!
Thank you. My orange washer was completely off. I put it back on and the running stopped! Gonna buy replacements for both toilets just to be safe. You saved me a lot of aggravation!
Where did you get them...and do I need a part #?
Old video but still holds true, thank you for this video. I’m normally a handy person and learn how things work while I take them apart to fix them. We just bought and moved into a new house and 2 of the bathroom toilets were having issues. This video helped me understand how the tank fill systems worked so I could fix the other issues with them. I was dumbfounded when I didn’t find a flapper or ball when I pulled the tank lid off.
Thanks again.
You just saved me a bunch of money. I couldn’t figure out why the bowl was so low, and it turns out that dang white tube was out of the little hole. Thank you!
Thank you for watching J D Glad I could help
Thanks for this. First I changed the gasket at the bottom of the "flapper". That did nothing. What did stop my running toilet was to rinse out the fill valve. Took ten minutes!!!! The best part was it didn't cost a penny! Kohler has a video on how to do it.
This is EXACTLY what I needed to learn to figure out how to fix my (apparently weird) toilet. All the other videos I found were about how to fix flapper style toilets. Thank you so much!
Thanks, I couldn't figure out why my brand new toilet kept running every 2 minutes. Turns out someone in the factory set the chain 1 section too tight and caused the tiniest of leaks. Thanks again, this video helped me quickly figure out what was wrong.
Oh my gosh...thank you. This is exactly what was wrong! I did everything else he said and then I saw this comment. The length of that chain never occurred to me as a possible problem!
Your video made the repair on our toilet really easy! It was just the O-ring on the bottom of the tower flush thing -- but you showed how to take it off! Thank!
OOOh man that is great to hear... Don't be a stranger. Thanks for watching 👍👍
Thank you for this great tutorial. After Farther's day dinner 2018 at Mother-in-law's home here in the Philippines, my beautiful bride asked if I could take a look at her Mom's Kholer, it would not fill. The unit in question is a little different design than your demo unit, with a push-button built into the lid rather than a flush handle on the side of the tank. The fill valve looks like my best friend the Fluid-master. Five minutes with you and about 90 seconds watching a Kholer factory repair video on the fill valve has given me all the information we will ever need to keep the fixture in top shape. Now, we cross our fingers the seal will be in stock tomorrow if needed? Always best to know how something is supposed to come apart for repair rather than using excessive force and destroy parts.
Once I realized I was turning the incorrect way (clock wise vs counter clockwise) this worked perfectly. All toilets now back in running order thanks for the $6 fix vs an $100 plumbing bill
Yea I echo all the comments in this video. I was gonna downvote cause you were putting your hand in all that nastiness but you did stuff in this video that literally turned on a light bulb in my head and I literally fixed my toilet in just 10 seconds (no lie). Took apart the only piece I needed and wham bam, working toilet flusher. Wow. When you have that going for you and all the other comments in this video saying the same thing - you know your video is gold - so thank you for this! Upvoted.
Thank you for making this video, Jeff! My apartment's Kohler toilet has been a nightmare since I moved in back in 2017 and I swear I've probably watched this video once every 3 months since just to double-check I'm fixing it correctly because having issues multiple times per year is just maddening. Low flow flush = line clog from toilet paper alone because my building's ancient pipes apparently need the full flush at all times, cylinder seal pops = running, cylinder rising popping water hose off the top cap = running, adjusting arm lift chain length to try to reduce the times the cylinder rising pops the water hose off the top cap = now the cap comes along too when it pops off and runs, etc. Plus my model came with a plastic domed lid which even a skinny friend found made an uncomfortable popping noise like it was about to snap and launch plastic shards into her ass when she sat on its closed top to watch me try on some makeup in the pre-pandemic times. It's just such a bad design to the point that I actively recommend to anyone rennovating to not buy Kohler toliets anymore, like an anti-advertisement. But as long as I'm stuck being a renter, this is my life at the mercy of Kohler toilets, so thank you Jeff for showing me how to DIY the 60-second fixes the maintenance man laughed over originally, saying he wished every call were that easy!
Good explanation. We just did this repair. Home Depot has this part. If you turn off the water you won't get soaked lol
First time I’ve had to address the toilet in my new place and the different inside threw me off. Would have taken me quite awhile to figure out how to remove the center part without your video. Also took your advice to clean the rubber gasket (and then I flipped it). Thanks!
Thanks for the vid, i'm off to go fix mine now. (Bothers me that so many people would post a negative comments or dislike for someone just trying to help others, rock on!)
Hey, he's great to help out those in need. Maybe try thanking him too. Any rate good job man. I followed yr instructions and it worked...thanks!
Amazing. Took me about 45 seconds to fix the problem. So happy! Thank you!
I am so glad that this video helped you it doesn't really take a genius to do what I do and as always thanks for watching
Thank you for the video. My toilet wasn't filling up at all in the bowl itself. After watching this video, I saw that the tube is in the cylinder itself. For whatever reason, mine was out. I just put it back in and bam, it's filling up with water again.
I changed the fill valve like you suggested and that took care of it.Ordered it from Home Depot took about a week for it to come in.All is good thanks for your help
You are a terrific! Watched the video waiting for my kids in their school car line. Got home. Red seal was off. Thank you so much. 🤗
Cory Rubal Hey anytime Thanks so much for watching .
Super helpful, thanks! Some kind of mi real deposit had built up on the gasket, so all I needed to do was clean it off and it’s working perfectly again! (I’m going to get a few spare gaskets for the 3 toilets I have like this, though, so I’ll be prepared for the future.)
Pretty amazing, I just ordered one on Amazon 7 years later, and it's still there, cool.
Thanks for explaining this Jeff. I really enjoyed your video and think it would help your viewers to learn how to shut off the water before inspecting the valve gasket so they don't get their clothes wet.
Thank you very much, I just had to fix the orange thing on the bottom that was loose. I did not even have to take off the whole thing to fix it. It's working great again.
Perfect, reinstalled the gasket which was simply loose. Yes I'm sure it should eventually be replaced.
Thanks man!
I replaced the rubber washer - $7 at Lowe’s. Fixed. Thanks for the video!!!!!
Thanks Bro. Ran to Home Depot, got a new Kohler washer and voila ! It's Fixed ! Not running anymore.
Hey man, thanks for this! Managed to get the toilets fixed at my vacation home no problems
very helpful, knowing I could twist that part off with a partial turn. I was afraid to break it before watching.
The other UA-cam video on how to fix a kohler running toilet did not help me but this one did the trick - thanks!!!
quick tip, put the water hose line under the fill valve floater arm and it will keep the water from running without having to mess with the shut off valve while you work on it
Great vid - I was ready to replace the whole valve when all I need is the washer!
Good insight it saved me from ordering a Flushing Valve off of Amazon. Good Job sir, simple instructions!
Thanks for watching Glad I could help
Very informative..ths
Worked just as you said. I will add that the quarter turn to get it off was very hard until I sprayed WD40 down the tube. That loosened it up and came of easy
Very helpful video. Now I understand my Kohler toilet and this saved me money. Thanks!
Anytime Jason thanks for watching
Yes...thank you for posting!
My Mom's toilet was...or is running and I was like "no problem". Then took tank lid off and was like "WTF is this crap (lol).. where's the flapper"?!?
just wanted to comment and thank you for saving me a plumber call. thank god it was this easy.
One of the different thing you might want to try and everyone out there. I discovered it's a quick fix and it works. And if I have to redo it every once in awhile it's because I have hard water the slide that goes up and down inside the toilet tank get loaded with hard water deposits and gets stuck. Spraying a little WD-40 on the slide below the cap helps out it works fine and doesn't run again
UA-cam is making the world 🌍 a better place
Thanks for putting this clip up Geoff. Save me a lot of time and money and a very easy fix

Thank you so much for this video!!! I was able to fix my toilet myself with the help of your video ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
Say what you want. Great video. Man knows how a toilet works.
I tried all options and they still would run but it was random. Both toilets were installed 2 years ago and I have had the running issue since install. It was DIY install. I finally noticed the chain on the handle had 2 extra links as it came this way from the factory. I dropped it to one extra link and since then neither toilets have had an issue. I believe the gasket has a solid seat now.
Cleaned the rubber seal and it worked! Thanks so much!
Wheewwww, I was about to trash this commode! Thank you so much for the video! Keep helping us little people one video at a time!😂😂
Now I'll look like I'm a smart professional when I show up at my client's house.
Thanks Dude took less than minute to fix mine thanks you!
You can get most all Kohler (and equivalent) parts at Home Depot. The price will be very reasonable also. I have replaced darn near every part in my Kohler toilet.
I have many problems with flappers. I have tried different flappers. I even tried replacing the whole flush valve 3 times. The first was a complete Korky flush valve, it phantom filled. The tried a FluidMaster, it phantom filled, not as ofter. The third time, I replaced with a Kohler Cylinder style and never get a phantom fill. The only issue with the Kohler is you have to hold the flush handle until the flush is complete, then release to refill the tank.
I had this issue and all i did was go to homedepot and bought a whole new flapper setup and replace the whole thing along with the flush valve. Got rid of the canister style that it came with.
So fast and easy! Thanks for saving me a repair bill.
Glad I could help. Thanks for watching.
Thank you. I fixed my toilet watching your instruction
Great job! Toilet fixed in a flash. Many thanks.
Aw. Thank you for this video. I have this exact toilet and the exact problem you described went to HD got the wrong part for the salesman. Going back to get the simple rubber seal; complete my weekend bathroom project. Again thx for the vid.
Mine is brand new and was just installed a week ago, but it's running. I'll try this.
GREAT THANKS FOR THIS! What you said is exactly how I was: Huh? Where's the flapper!?
I'd never seen this style before but ran into one at my mother's house. The rubber seal was off of the tube. The video was extremely hepful in seeing how it was assembled and what to do to fix it.
Thank you that was easier than I expected. It did fix the problem changing that ring.
Thanks for the help! No idea how to get that big tube out.
Thanks so much for posting this video. I was able to follow step by step and fix my toilet myself. Easy Peasy!
Hello. Thanks for the information. I have a new house (built in 2017.) My Kohler only runs once every week or so. May last a day. Then it stops. I did not take the thing off to look at the seal but it looks really nice inside. I was hesitant to replace a seal if not needed. I am new to UA-cam and not sure of the rules but I thought I'd ask for any suggestions for what my toilet is doing. Thanks
This could be rare but considering it's still a new house sometimes Plumbers Don't deburr the pipes when they're put in you could be getting debris inside of your fill valve but this is rare also if you are on a well for water sometimes sand and sediment can make it way up through the pipes and get under the seals of that fill valve this is a long stretch though I would still look at the seal to see if it's seated correctly and also if you use those toilet bowl cleaners that make the water blue are the bleach tablets it eats the seals up really quickly
@@geoffhoweth thank you so much. I have no well. I do not use any tank cleaner and won't. My seal is orange but I guess it doesn't have to match? Also, I do NOT need to turn the water off, correct?
Thank you for the this mini course. I have the intermittent hiss from a leak . Peace.
is the shut off valve broken? your a great instructor... you make it fun!
Works!! Issue with the little rubber stopper at the bottom of the cylindrical stopper. Popped it off, cleaned it, inserted it back on. Voila!
Sweet... Glad to hear that the cleaning thing works also . But the rubber will need to be replaced in the future . Hey Thanks for Watching and glad I could help.
Thanks, with your video even a novice like me was able to do this the first time.
Thanks for the video. Hopefully I will be able to fix mine without calling a plumber.
Thanks for the help I fixed my toilet late at night
Jeepers! It's like talking to my Mom on the phone! Please - take me back to the days when air time cost money.
Scott Mark nah it can't be that bad go back to prepay
I replaced every seal and gasket on my Kohler and it continued to leak
from the tank into the bowl. I put that junk to the curb and bought an
American Standard. No more running water.
Hadn't seen that type before. Watched your video, gave it try and it worked. Thanks Geoff!
Hey No problem Thank you so much for watching .
I replaced the float and tge flush valve. I still have a slow quiet drip sound. It has improved but it’s still there. I can’t find any videos on how to replace the base. The Kohler instructions just said, “it’s difficult” ha ha! It’s the only thing left to replace! I have a one-piece tresham model. Do you know if any videos or a special tool I can use that won’t damage base on install?
So was that a quarter turn counter-clockwise to get it off?
This video helped us to replace the valve.
What about a brand new toilet we just installed? Do we need to replace that orange seal for a toilet fresh out of the box? I hear it running every hour or so. We've only had it a few days.
For those seeing this in 2021, you always supposed to turn the water off before this kind of stuff. The knob is by his left feet and it’s very easy to turn off and on.
Your not a maint man are you? If I turn that valve and it breaks the cpvc pipe ,you have got a lot more problems than just a little drizzle. 😷
Thank you so much! It’s help me to fix my toilet 🙏
Excellent video. Very helpful.
I have the yellow tube and that part with the round piece will not stay in place. Has been like that since installed by plumber about 8-9 years ago.
This is great was able to fix mine by seeing this video. Thank you.
Thanks, Made my day! I cleaned the gasket and will purchase a new one!
My problem is the fill hose keeps popping out. Any suggestions for how to keep it seated in the canister fill tube, please? Thanks!
Great technique.
