How To Fix A Kohler Toilet That Runs All The Time

- Here’s how to fix a Kohler toilet that runs all the time. If your Kohler toilet keeps drawing water and the water valve, never shuts off, this video will show you how to fix a toilet that is running all the time. On a newer Kohler toilets, there is a QR code inside of the toilet tank that you can scan to get specific instructions on your model of toilet. The water valve on a Kohler toilet is designed to be opened up and cleaned and serviced, so you can turn it to open it up and take it apart, and while you are looking at it, you can clean any particles out of it, and make sure that the rubber isn’t damaged, and then put it back together, and most likely your toilet will not have a problem With excessive running after it flushes. But if your Kohler toilet still runs all the time after you have cleaned out the valve, you can buy a replacement valve and install it on top of the water intake mechanism. In this video, I show you how to clean or repair the water valve on your Kohler toilet to make sure that the water shuts off after flushing.

Overall, an excellent video that saved me time and money and most importantly, perhaps, took some of the mystery away from these problems. There were a couple of spots where a better shot and explanation might have been helpful, but I managed it all successfully. Many thanks.
I was about to purchase the entire fill valve when I came across this video! It’s fixed, THANKS! Didn’t see much dirt in the seal but I guess just taking it appart and rinsing was enough to get it working again.
Glad I could help!
Awesome! Cleaning that rubber part did the trick. Thanks!
You're welcome!
Kohler Black Canisters only flush about 3.5 inches of water.. ua-cam.com/video/op4vqDESwrc/v-deo.html
Thank you! My valve wasn't seating properly and I could see that the top assembly was clearly meant to be removable... but rotating to release it wasn't obvious. Mine had a 1mm-ish chunk of sediment stuck in the valve, but no damage. Quick, easy, and free fix.
Thanks so much for showing this. It worked wonderfully!!!
You're welcome!
Thank you for sharing this how to video. I was able to stop the water from running constantly.
Glad it helped

Very helpful video! I had to order the entire valve assembly off Amazon. Only $19.95. Just used the very top piece of the assembly like shown in the video. Worked perfectly. Toilet is no longer running. No plumber needed is always a great thing.
That’s exactly what I did. I didn’t wanna have to take everything apart, so I just pulled that part off and put it on the old one.

You Saved The Day. It Worked.
Great!
Thanks for sharing 😎👍
You’re welcome
THANK YOU!! I'm so annoyed this was all it took but at the same time relieved because I don't have to replace the whole thing. For literal MONTHS I've been turning the valve on and off to fill the tank in-between flushings because I couldn't figure out the problem 😭
You're welcome!

On my Kohler toilets there's a diagram on the underside of the tank lid. It shows the part numbers.

A lot of the comments seem to be about "seal fix not working", you might be trying to fix a symptom and not the cause.
If the gasket at the bottom of the tanking is leaking, the valve might be correctly trying to fill the tank because the gasket is leaking away water into the bowl constantly. So in that case you'd need to fix the O ring gasket down at the bottom of the tank. One way to diagnose that is do you hear constant dripping inside the toilet? Also, if you pull up slightly on the valve arm (do not push too hard) does the valve stop the water from running? If that's a 'yes' then the seal valve is working correctly.
Where did you pick up the replacement part? Having a difficult time just finding the cap assembly. Great video.
Home Depot.

Thanks
I replaced seal and it doesn’t work. Seal just doesn’t seem to be the same. Even at full level. It’s doesn’t doesn’t stop.
Hi please give me the name of that park and where did you buy it. I’m very appreciate it. I’m a lady don’t know much stuff.
There’s a link in the description.
CooL.YeSir...
Thanks
Where did you get the replacement part?
At 0:05 that's not the Model number, that's the serial number. Kohler is maddening to me that they have the serial number (which is mostly useless) well written on the back of the tank but the model number is much harder to find. The model number is pressed into the porcelain at the left rear of the tank and the model number is what you need to find the correct parts. The serial number can only be used to find the model number by using a Kohler lookup website that used to exist but I can't seem to find it any more.
Thanks
After several tries, including taking apart the large Aqua Piston Seal on the right, cleaning and reseating it, thanks to the downloadable manual from the scan code, saying just to clean it, the system stopped filling and is now working. ua-cam.com/video/w6vnJNKwVnQ/v-deo.html There was not much visible gunk on either item. I took off the yellow seal at the bottom of the large pistion (to which the flush handle is connected (quite challenging), and reseated the ring on the black cylinder.
I did this and shut off valve and still running
