    My toilet has been doing this and I called a plumber who quoted me $250 !!!!!
    I'm a widow and on the pension, but I feel like I can do it myself now after watching this video several times.
    Thank you so much

      Wow they be taxing!! That’s a huge profit for just changing the part. I hope you got it done.
      I’m a single woman who has never done this either and I’m on my way to the store to try to fix this

    Never thought about just sliding off the valve itself.
    PRICELESS...

Now he knows what to do if he runs into a toilet that doesn’t refill. Thank you.

    THANK YOU SAM! I'm home alone during COVID-19 quarantine. The idea of taking apart the new fill valve and putting it on the old set up was GENIUS! I was very nervous about creating a leak under the tank, but your method solved that. I fixed my not-filling-up problem for under $10.

U were spot on my problem was identical to this and turns out this was the problem and I had my apt fix it....lol..I told them what the problem was likely to be beforehand and took out the fill valve for them...and turned the toilet water off. The repairman was greatful! He said no one had ever removed it for him before when they had this problem. I think I made his day! :)

    Perfect ! Last month I replaced the entire valve which with me being 65 and fat was a long painful process getting to the fittings of the Bidet seat , the valve nut . It was terrible . Today the other toilet acted up I found your vid and got the same brand and model of valve , changed the top only and swapped the o ring from the new stand pipe while I was at at from the new unused part to the old one .
    Now perfect ! Thank you

    Thanks for the video. I thought my issues was a clog, then I realized it probably was the unit itself. But I thought I would check with UA-cam for a video and yours was the first one is saw. Yup it was the unit and I had no idea that you could just removed the top part off the water tube it was on. I always replaced the entire unit, which involved, of course, releasing the unit from under the tank. I got the new Fluid Master and it was done in seconds. THANKS for doing these videos for us.
