Don,

Thank you for the suggestion. I cleaned the circuit board and button contacts with alcohol, put it back together on the wall and so far, it is working well. Thank you so much! (I am...

I got the solution from the Overhead Door company. In the interest of helping anyone else with the same problem, I'm posting it here. Squeeze firmly on either side. The front pops off - and it...

Sudden thought - is what I did ok?

Got it fixed! Stopped at the local plumbing supply this morning and bought a new compression shut off. Showed the guy my photos. He had the part and showed me how I might be able to remove just...

Thanks, guys! I'm headed to the plumbing store this morning to get a compression stop. I hope nothing here is soldered because I wouldn't know how to cut pipe or solder anything. Threading, I...

Well, I just got the knob to turn and now the shutoff leaks when the valve is open (water on). The only way to stop the leak is to turn the shutoff all the way off. Is there anything I can do now...

Terry,

Thanks for your help! If I shut off at main, but DON'T want to start by replacing the shutoff, what is the best way to get the CURRENT shutoff knob to turn? Is there any way to do THAT?

Forgive me in advance for mangling the plumbing terminology. :(

I am trying to replace the guts in one of my Mom's toilets. Her home was built in 1980. The water supply line turn-on/shut-off...

Mom and I went to the local plumbing supply yesterday and purchased an 8" float valve similar to the one installed. I purchased the whole float valve as they did not have a plunger to match the old...

Mikey and Jim, a 9" fill valve is too tall. Will not fit.

Gary, my apologies - my reply to Jim was misleading. It is the fill/float valve that will not fit, not a replacement toilet. I'm...

Jim,

Thanks for your reply. I wish I could use one of those but I don't think it is possible. Will the Fluidmaster 400A or 400LS adjust to less than 8 1/2" tall (inside-tank measurement) so that...

This photo below is a toilet that was installed in my mother's home in 1980. (Yes, 28 years ago!) It is an Eljer Silette model. The problem with the toilet is that it will not stop filling. Only...

Yes, it will even seat if you hold your finger down on it for a second or two while the tank is filling.

I have an old Eljer Watersaver Low Tank One Piece Closet (toilet) from in my home that was built in 1980. The model is the Windsor model.

The problem is the flapper. It will not close all the...

Thanks for the start! So how does one fix short flushes and/or the refill tube? What exactly do I need to do to the toilet to make it behave?! :confused:

I am trying to help my mom. Her house was built in 1980 and she has an Eljer Watersaver Low Tank One Piece Closet (toilet). I have the original installation manual.

The problem is that the...
