Yesterday the toilet stopped flushing.:( The hole in the bottom of the bowl that sends out a jet of water to flush the waste away now just shoots out air bubbles:confused: and the bowl fills with water. We have had this problem before and cleaned the toilet with Lime Away, which fixed it, but not this time. Has I am clueless about toilets so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Okay...tried Lime Away 2 x and still just bubbles and hardly a flush.... replaced the flapper valve with little improvement. Water fills the bowl and very, very slowly exits the bowl. Other than buying a new toilet, I have no idea. Should I try replacing the flush valve?:confused: I have an American Standard toilet and probably the cheapest one they make, as this is builders grade, installed in a new home.

I guess it's time for a new toilet.:rolleyes:
