My toilet won't flush!?

Question

Its not clogged and everything inside seems fine. Does anyone know How to fix it? Please help i'm tearing my hair out!

Answer 1

Until you can get the cistern fixed properly, keep a bucket of water nearby to flush your loo with.

Answer 2

  Simple really,  Turn water off at valve, empty cistern,  undo/disconect flush handle,  IF CLOSE COUPLED (cistern sat on wc pan) disconect water pipe and overflow pipe,  undo wing nuts holding cistern to pan, lift off cistern, undo syphon,  fit new syphon (just a few pounds ) then replace in reverse order  IF WASH DOWN (with flush pipe)  undo nut between syphon and pipe then slide it down pipe,  just above it there is another nut holding the syphon in the cistern this also has to be undone, then lift out the syphon and replace with new one remembering to fit the rubber washers as they were when removed and reassemble in reverse order      

Answer 3

do you mean you move the lever and nothing happens ?

It'll probably be the diaphram split - about £1 from a plumbers for a universal sheet that you cut to size.

You need to isolate the water inlet ( hopefully you have a service valve )

empty the cistern

disconnect the lever

remove the syphon unit and invetigate

Answer 4

you need a new Sistine, get them from any diy shop easy to fix too

Answer 5

Is it filling with water correctly.  Maybe there is some problem with your ballcock if not

Answer 6

Open the lid and check out what's going on in the tank.

Is it full of water? If so, you just need to open the flush valve to get it to flush. Find out why it's not opening and fix that.

Is new water coming into the tank? If the water level is not high and new water is not coming into the tank (at least not very quickly), then there's another problem with the flush assembly. For now, dump a bucket of water into the bowl to get it to flush whatever's in it (I assume you don't want to leave it there while you're trying to fix the toilet, lol). You'll probably need to replace the flush assembly though (unless you can flush out whatever's blocking the water flow). If you aren't good with that type of thing, see if you can get someone else to do it. It can be an annoying and time consuming chore if you're not used to doing that sort of thing, but it's one that can be done without hiring a plumber.

Flush assemblies aren't expensive. If you have the tools you'll need, it shouldn't cost more than $20 or $30, assuming you don't have a special toilet. Do replace everything in the tank though. It's not that much more time or money to do it all, so don't buy a partial kit.
