  • I show the step for replacing the flush valve seal on a Kohler toilet. If you have a Kohler canister style flush valve and the toilet is running, in most cases it it just the seal on the flush valve.

    Jacy, thanks so much for outlining this simple procedure. I'm pretty handy, but I had no idea how to do the flush valve seal. Our toilet has been leaking about 2 years, and the seal has been sitting here waiting to be installed. I thought I probably had to remove the tank to replace the seal, LoL! I was a little embarrassed after you showed how easy it is to replace, which took all of about 1 minute! You're gifted and resourceful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

    Another tip... mine apparently was very old and crusty, and when I tried turning it counterclockwise it didn't budge, and felt like it would break if I tried any harder. Living in the country and being over an hour from the home store, I wasn't willing to risk that. I just disconnected the flush handle chain and removed and installed the new seal with the flush valve in place. The seal easily stretched enough to be worked around the flush valve cylindircal body.

    Thank you. My toilet looks to be the same model (comes apart at base vs top) so this video saved me $50 by doing it myself vs. having a plumber come out. I had tried using other videos but those show just the top coming off so was reluctant to try a lot of pressure and possibly break the stem.
    One hint - lift the canister up and take hold of the stem at the base and twist instead of grabbing the top or reaching into the canister. I did that and mine popped right out.

    I had the seal on my Kohler go on me. Wasting water with a slow leak. $10 for a new one! So what I did was cleaned of the canister, soaked it in CLR for a while and brushed it and let it dry (blow gun). Then I took a sour cream container, cut a hole in the bottom for the center piece and coated it with dish soap. Ran a bead of silicone around the base of the canister then set it on top of the bottom of the container with the soap. Let it sit for an hour or so and removed it. Reinstalled it and working like a charm!

    Additional input: You can try cleaning that seal (and the ring it sits on when it is closed) with a dish washing brush. Water deposits collect on both and scrubbing them off sometimes works. You can also remove that rubber seal, flip it over and re-install it so you have a brand new side facing downward. They are reversible! That worked for me after cleaning it eventually became ineffective. If none of that works just pay the $7 for a new gasket and follow the gentleman's instructions. I use Clorox toilet tablets in the tank and I'm told they can eat away at the flushing mechanism, but to me it's worth it to have a little bleach in the water with every flush. It prevents bowl stains and makes the whole bathroom smell clean. If that means I have to replace the gasket a little more often so be it. As you can see by the video it is super easy and takes all of two minutes :)

    Great video advice. Just replaced gasket on our tank. I would add two steps. One, make sure the parts are free of fragments from the old gasket. I gently removed these with a rough-sided sponge. Two, I used a shop wet-vac to remove the sludge/particles that accumulate in the bottom of the tank. You can remove them with a small cup, rag, sponge, etc. if you do not have a shop vac. A flashlight was useful checking on the old gasket and sludge particles being removed. Job took about 20 minutes.

    Thanks. This video saved me an expensive call to the plumber. I also wiped down the hard plastic surfaces to get rid of the mineral deposits. Hardest part was getting the clip unfastened and fastened; I had to use a pair of needle nosed pliers for that.

    Yes, quick to the point and simple replacement video! Although at the end when he shows and says the measurements, they are not correct, I even stopped the video and got the magnifying glass out to double check, no big thing but it had me questioning the part diameters, I didn't want to buy the wrong one. So, the O.D. is exactly 3 5/16", even though all the sellers on Amazon are showing that it's 3 3/8" or 3.4", and the I.D. is exactly 2 9/16", and these measurements are from the new part, part # K-GP1059291. I hope this makes it more faster and easier to get that job done.............😁

    Before you remove anything, try using a paper towel to clean the underside of the gasket and the fixed surface that it contacts. Scrub the surfaces well. This fixed the problem for me. Now I have to figure out what to do with the gasket I bought.
