Thank you for the video. Got the correct O rings. Took the 300 apart as shown without cracking anything. Used silicone grease on the o rings. Put it back together and after 5 days, no leaks. Am surprised it was that simple. Brondell's website is terrible. This was my second S300-RW. Forget what was wrong with the first one. But my wife insisted on fixing this or replacing it. Thank you again.
Thank you for posting, the double o-ring seems to have taken care of the issue. A couple of notes; I used the quick release on the side of the unit, so as not to have to unfasten the bolts attaching the mounting bracket to the toilet. Also, I able to effect the repair without needing to unhook any of the wire connections. $2.48 for the orings, thank you again!
Thank you for this fabulous video. The bidet was given to me by my brother as a gift 4 years ago. Now I can have it for many more years to enjoy. You’ve made it so simple with your wonderful explanation!
Tnank you for this video. I had a tough time finding the correct o-rings, though. I couldn't find #211 o-rings at Home Depot, and I ordered it through Amazon. But, it ended up being the wrong size. I did some search and got Danco #11 O-rings from Amazon (3/4"ODx9/16"IDx3/32"). I was able to use two o-rings as you suggested and fix the leak!! Thanks again.
I can confirm that the #8 O-RING will fix the Swash 1000 leak....The Swash 1000 is slightly different but this video will guide you perfectly. THANKS FOR THE SIMPLE AND GREAT DIY!
@@scottledanse once you open it up...it will look similar. follow from the hose inlet to the left 90º...that's where you will find the 2 screw he removed similar to the video. It looks similar but its not straight through
With the S 1000, you don't need to disconnect any of the wiring. You can just unscrew the inlet valve similar to what is shown in the video and remove the part.
Thank you for the video! My bidet has been passively dripping for the past 2 years into the bowl (luckily not on the floor) and it's been getting worse and worse. Looked up your video and a quick trip to home depot later, I had the bidet fixed and leak free! I did the double o-ring trick you did. It also fixed the intermittent front washer not working (guess the lack of water pressure did it). If it ever fails again, I've got 8 more o-rings in the $2.50 pack I got.
Thanks so much! The wand of my Brondell S 1000 would no longer spray water; water just dripped from the back of the wand so it wasn't working.I called Brondell since I was out of warranty, they offered to sell me a new S 1000 for 25% off (which was the lowest price I could find), but this video saved me about $500 For those of you who have a 1000 model, it does look different from the video, but you do not need to remove any wires. Just unscrew the inlet (where the water line connects to) and replace the washer. I used #9 o-rings, but I think that #8 would work as well. I did install 2 o-rings as in the video, tested the water line, and replaced the seat. Everything worked as before!
Wow thank you for this amazing demo -- this worked perfectly, and was super easy to follow. I was ready to throw this thing away after only 3 months of use! You're doing a great service for many sir.
Thank you so much for the video on how to fix my Swash 300. This is the 2nd Swash 300 I have owned. Both had the same problem but I didn’t know I could fix it myself. I threw the first one away, I fixed the second one using your video. It is now fixed for $2.75 rather than buying a new one for $200 and it wouldn’t arrive for at least 2 weeks.
Thanks so much for this video. I would have never figured out what was the problem. The original o-ring looked fine and I wouldn't have thought to use 2 new o-rings to seal. Saved me from buying a brand new one.
I have found your video after I took apart this unit and found the exact same problem as you did. However, what I also found is that the plastic cover that has two screws has two micro cracks right where that o-ring goes. I suspect, that the leak is actually not an o-ring, but those cracks. I put some rtv on the cracks and resealed it with original o-ring. Will see if that fixes the problem, otherwise, I will follow your advice on double o-ring.
Great video!! I have the same unit and I was thinking about installing 2 O-rings but did not want to risk breaking the screw housing..I actually ended up siliconing the o-ring and all...to date all is good but I am going to take apart again and double O-ring it as U did. Thax
I've got the S1000, not as lucky as one person who commented about it leaking into the bowl, mine leaked down the side, maybe $10,000+ damages (insurance claim, $$$ deductible). Different design on my valve, no room for 2nd O-Ring and it didn't fix the problem, so bought a toilet valve hose and garden hose adapter and took it apart again to pressure it with the garden hose. Leak on mine seems to be right through the middle of the filter plug on the bottom outside there for the user to clean the screen mesh within. O-rings on that plug seem to be non-standard sized. Not sure how to fix it yet, but have written customer service about a new filter screen plug, and will measure the threads and diameter to see if the threads are a standard size so maybe I can just cap it off and perhaps add an in-line filter. There's also a sediment filter under the house in the pressure regulator so not sure the latter is needed. Another youtube vid showed that same valve leaking in the small housing where the black wires go into it, and the fix was gasket maker compound in it. If all else fails maybe I'll gut the filter plug and try that in it.
Yes, I have a 1000, looks the same, you saved me a lot of screwing around trying to figure out what to pull apart and how to fix it. Thanks for taking the time to make this video!
Great video, FYI there's a button on the left side of the bidet to dismount it from the bracket next to the water supply. Just press it and slide the bidet out.
This video is so useful that it makes me to write my first comment on RU-vid. I was lucky to find this video when I was about to throw away my Brondell S300 Bidet. IT helped me. Thank you.
You can remove the bidet from the mounting plate by pushing the quick release button that is near the water inlet. You don't have to remove the bolts from the toilet that way.
Tarik, Thanks for the vid. The two o ring method nail it good. I also have two s300, reliability is poor. This was the third time I had to replace o rings. Couple of months ago I replaced the 12 volt motor near the reservoir tank. I asked Brodell to send me the parts, $42 bucks but if I had mailed the Unit to them it would have added labor and delivery cost. Thanks again
Great video. Exactly what I needed and it gave me a lot of confidence before taking this thing apart. It turns out my model is a little different, with a different sized o-ring. I didn’t use double the o-ring, but I did change the small o-ring on that small floating piece on the spring. Hope it works too. Thanks again.
@@audiblezero I believe it’s #5 - 3/8” o.d., 1/4” I.d. x 1/16”. It’s been a long time, but I have a #5 box and a #43 box of o-rings from that job. I remember not being sure about the big #43 (the old one looks a lot bigger but probably due to being stretched over time). The small one is probably the right size. Good luck!
Thanks to you and your video I was able to easily repair my Swash 300. I also have the Swash 1000 with the same problem, but the internal mechanisms are different. Do you know how to repair that model?
Hi Tarik, I did your fix over a year ago, and it worked great! But over the past couple weeks it has started to drip into the bowl. I took it apart, expecting to just replace the o ring again, but this time the housing and the area around it was dry as a bone. Unlike last year, when it was wet all over the base. Are you aware of any other leaking joints? It seems to only leak through the outlet housing. Either way, thanks for your fix, I will only need to buy these half as often.
Thanks for the video. My seat leaks on the opposite side. Do you have experience or knowledge of the issue on the other side and if it's a similar fix? Thanks in advance.
The company warns you not to flip the electronics ! Never understood why? I still did not solve mine. Brondell wants yo sell me a new one with a discount!? I feel all avenues are exhausted yet.
Amigo! Thank you! for your help! I have a Brondell 900 Swash with the same leak. Unfortunately the 900 is built a little differently. The 900 doesn't 211 sized o-rings. No worries, I'll find which fit. The 900 also has an additional o-ring on the "stub" that sits inside the spring, which I also hope to repace. Thanks again. Does anyone with a 900 or 1000 know what size o-ring(s) I need? Thank you.--Phil
For the 900, the #9 fits. The #9s have a thicker wall than original o-ring, which should help I hope/guess. The procedure for the 900 is slightly different, a bit easier, fewer screws. Watch for the "filter" plug.
I also discovered the S900 uses a much different size o-ring. Took me three tries to get the right size. I just used 11mm x 15mm x 2mm rings. They seem to be exactly the same size as the original. I found someone on ebay selling bags of quantity 5 for $3, free shipping. Couldn't find them at local hardware stores. Just did the repair today and so far so good. We'll see how long it lasts....
This Brondell 1000 is a problem!! The leak is not fixed by the technique in the video. Frustrated. I wasted all day with it. Still dripping after being used.
I tried fixing my 1000. Forget it. A dangerous combo of electricity and water. Mine lasted over 5 years...flawlessly, until this leak. I said f,-it...and bought the newer s1400. Not worth the hassle, in my opinion.
