Incredibly helpful, especially the tip about knowing which seal was the problem
Thanks, your video is still helpful in 2023. I have no skills, but completed this in 5 minutes.
Thank You! Just did it. Instead of calling a plumber out at $100+, I just fixed mine for the total cost of $8.60!
I watched a couple of other videos on the Kohler product. Yours is the only one to mention three things: 1) bar code thing 2) These seals are available from a "big box" store 3) Water level not going below the valve opening. Thank you
Good to hear. I hope it helped you with your project.
It's February 2024, and you described my issue to a "T". Thank you! I was able to take your knowledge and $7 and fix my toilet in under 4 mins (and I am NOT a plumber😂).
Thanks, used your guidance to fix my seal quickly and easily today. Just wanted to let you know how helpful your videos are to people.
Thank you! Just knowing how the round seal fit into the canister groove allowed me to fix my running toilet without even taking it apart.
Great advice! However, when it came to removing the canister, I felt more comfortable lifting the canister up, holding the center post below the canister, and turning the post at that point. When I tried to turn from the top, the resistance was too great and I was afraid I would break it. Turning from the hold at the bottom was very easy, as long as it is the type where the whole canister has to be removed at the same time, and not just the "cap" and then the canister.
Exactly the tutorial I needed. Thank you...🥰🥰🥰
I would like to add a tip to viewers. Be careful not to drop your phone into the tank when photographing the code.
Thank you for this video. $9 and 2 minutes later and my toilet is fixed.
I am so NOT a handyman, but this really helped. Saved me from calling the landlord!
Thank you so much. This helped my father figure out what was the problem with his toilet.
Before you attempt this, make sure to also check the little plastic vertical piece that can be turned right or left on the fill valve (in my case it was to the left of the cylinder they show at this video). That can be adjusted to the fill level and apparently mine has crept up and was letting water run all the time. It has a philips head on top for philips screwdrivers. adjust that first.
Very helpful, Thanks!
That's the way to do a video - no stupid music and lead-in BS. To the point - like a man.
After several tries flushing the device on the left, also with yellow lid, I took apart the large Aqua Piston Seal on the right, as this video explains, I cleaned and reseated the yellow ring seal at the bottom of the black cylinder (piston?). Thanks to the downloadable manual from the scan code, which says just to clean it FIRST, the system stopped losing water and refilling and is now working. 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 at bottom of the black cylinder.
Thanks so much! This problem recently showed up and I just knew some one probably posted the fix. 👍👍
Great job. Watching you do it gave me confidence that I wasn’t breaking my flush valve by twisting it.
Thanks. Perfect presentation and straight to the point. Your awesome buddy
Thanks for the easy fix! Saved me a bunch of money and time👊
Great video thank you
Much better instructions. Thank you
awesome instructions! I hope this does the trick for my Kohler! Thank you!
Thank you for this video!! Made for an easy fix it myself task!
Really nice diagnosis tip!
Great instructions!!!! Thank you Sir!!! 👌😊
Thank you this was so helpful
Thank you this video helped me a lot!
Thanks for sharing
handy to know, thanks!
Great videos. My problem is a bit different. First flush is fine, but the refill is very slow and sometimes incomplete. If I turn the water supply completely off, and then back on, the fill is fast and complete. Next flush, normal, but refill again is slow and incomplete. This repeats over and over. I removed the yellow cap, and the valve assembly, flushed it, and cleaned the rubber seal, reassembled. The problem persists. What might be the problem.
Thanks so much! fixed it........now for the bidet seat
Glad it helped. I've always wanted to try one of those.
What a difference a bidet makes😁
Worth it!
Good video!
I have a Santa Rosa Kohler and did this exact fix which worked but I'm also seeing that the big black foam 'flush valve gasket" at the bottom of the tank is also disintegrating. I've heard people have problems doing that fix because of it being hard to unscrew and then screw down the canister afterwards inside the tight confines of the tank. In my case I'm probably going to not fix it until it actually fails, since the toilet is a one piece if it does fail it would just leak into the bowl which is not a big deal whereas the same leak in a two piece would go all over the floor.
Do you have any tips on fixing the flush valve gasket? The Kohler gasket part is GP83996
thanks for sharing. exactly what I need
Thanks!! Awesome video.
How much force to twist it? Mines feels like its to snap off
Hi,
I have a Kohler toilet. I have had the filler tube pop out occasionally without reason. The re is no cap on the canister. How can I make sure the filler tube stays in place?
Thanks 🙏
Thank you for making this exquisite tutorial. I couldn’t figure out how to remove the yellow plastic cap without breaking it.
Excellent video....thx!
My cylinder keeps hitting the the tube connecting to the yellow part! Causing it to fly off and refill water somewhere else. What do I do?
Booya! Big help. Thanks bro!
Unfortunately the top cap doesn't come off on mine. I can still replace the seal if necessary. The toilet is about 6-8 years old (1.6 gallon flush) with the original parts and it still works fine. Of course it will probably fail two days after I post this!
Mine doesn’t come off, either. How are you able to replace the seal?
Nice!
The instructions are on the back of the package. If not and the Seal is Shrink Wrapped, rather than in Plastic Bubble, you got a Knock-off. Also I’m suspicious that the seal in this video is a Knock-off as the newer Kohler Seal are Yellow and Chemical Resistant.
He mentioned it was not a Kohler gasket. Got it at a big box store.
How do you replace the gasket that connects to the tank on a one piece kohler toilet?
One piece toilets have a different attachment mechanism. This video may help : ua-cam.com/video/4H9s7DLC22o/v-deo.html In that video, the flapper along with the flush housing and gasket are replaced.
This guy should of shown the flush with the lid open!
Wher is your store how 2order
I personally do not have a store. I have included a link to each gasket in the description should you choose to purchase from Amazon. These gaskets can also be purchased in your local home improvement store.
If you are still having troubles with the toilet leaking, then check this one out too as this was the issue I had: ua-cam.com/video/oD0HETCc-OQ/v-deo.html&ab_channel=KOHLER
