TOILET HANDLE HOLD DOWN ISSUE - EASY FIX!!!👍 

Thanks for keeping it short and to the point. The other two guys videos I watched prior to this lost me with all their rants about Facebook and how they had to go to Home Depot and whatnot.

I’ve been holding down the handle in one of my bathrooms for 4 yrs now. Smh. Watched this and fixed it under 2 minutes lol. Thank you!!!!🙏🏾😁

God Bless you for making this video. I fixed my 1st toilet issue after watching a video by Roger Wakefield. Then went to Walmart and got a toilet handle and flapper to fix my other toilet with the help of your video. Thank you very much!.

Thanks this solved my problem. I installed a new valve seat seal, new flapper and was still getting a running toilet unless I held it all the way down for an entire flush cycle. I had to move the chain pretty significantly down to be as taut as yours but once I did everything works perfect now. The handle feels way less loose too. Thanks so much, I've been having to shut my water off after every time I flushed, it was so annoying.

Excellent bro, fixed my two bathrooms. Thank you keep up the good vids

If only I can figure out how to take down the chain. Edit: Just did. Thanks for your video issue is fixed. My chain wasn't connected in the little holes, it was somehow connected elsewhere where it shouldn't be and I couldn't figure out how to get it off. Now I have and toilet flushes!

I watched your video my in-laws are coming over for Easter Dinner on April 2021 still in Covid-19 time so I decided to learn how to fix the toilet myself. I have not had another people in our home due to Covid-19 except my in-laws. I fixed it! Thank you

THANK YOU!! I just replaced the internal parts to one of my toilets and holding down the handle was driving me crazy!! Fixed in 3 min!!

Thanks man. Worked great. Appreciate it. Now, on to the next thing on my 'honey do list' 😕

Thank you for this video! This is exactly what I needed to do and it works perfectly now. Was so tired of having to hold the handle down, was getting ready to buy a new handle.

It worked, easy. Thank you for making the time to make this video.

Thank you so much! You helped my grandmother and I fix her toilet!

This fixed my problem in less than 30 seconds, thank you!

Thanks! This was very helpful. I was about to got to Home Depot to get the whole kit, but your video fixed my problem. :-)

I had the same issue. Turns out that the water level was too low. Adjusted the float valve up, and it took care of the problem.

You save my life

Thank you my issue was solved because of your video!❤❤❤

Wow!!! Thanks soon much I've been holding this handle down for years.

This video is great. Fixed my problem. Thank you.

Thanks to your video I just fixed my flushing problem 👏

Thank you for this video.

Thank you! My apartment complex has taken a month to get to it. Drives my girls and I crazy.

it worked! Thank you for the video. Very helpful!!

Oh my god thank you. My toilet has had this problem for 6 months and it was so bad my guests always thought it was broken and wouldn’t flush. A few quick minutes and its good as new

This worked great. Thanks. Keep up the good vids.

Worked! Thanks so much. My BF wanted to just buy a new toilet. 🤦‍♀️

Thanks short and sweet

Your idea worked! Thanks.

Thank you

Thanks! We use taut in Canada, or was that an accent, sounded like "taunt" (for the chain). 🙂

Great video mate🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿!!

Thank you much, work like a charm!

Great suggestion! I really appreciate the knowledge on your RU-vid channel. I have subscribed as well! Thank you again, sir!

Worked like a charm Thx

Quick fix- thanks!!

Thanks!

yup yes and yeah - and my flapper still drops too quickly.

Thank you so much you are the best

Didn't work for me unfortunately. Any other suggestions?

That was easy ! Thanks (Taunt) lol

Sometimes this doesn’t help. If it doesn’t, you need to add a flapper float to that chain and just adjust the height of the float by trial and error.

You mean TAUT, not TauNt.

I’ve got it as tight as I can but I’m only getting about half a tank flush. Is there a solution for that?

new toilets have an adjustable flapper bulb that either turns or snaps out and it determines how long the flush will be.

"Taunt"? I think you mean taut. And agreed with the other poster -- it's weird that you didn't give a demonstration.

TY

Does this work for a sticking handle, also?

What do you do if this doesn’t fix the problem? I’ve been messing with the chain at different lengths and it’s currently at taut as it will go but I still have to hold down to get it to flush 😢

Nice video, I think you meant taut, not taunt :).

I have a toilet that has been "fixed" by the landlord recently. He put an adjustable overflow valve, and an adjustable flapper into it, which he set both to be "low flow". After that it wouldn't even flush a piece of toilet paper. After watching a LOT of videos about how to fix this, and finding out that the "low flow" options do not work for toilets made before 1992 (which is my toilet), I adjusted the overflow valve to be higher, so the water level was the same as it used to be. After trying a bunch of times to adjust the adjustable flapper, and having nothing I tried work (I had to hold the handle down for almost the entire flush),I decided that maybe we need a new, older style, non adjustable flapper. So, today it arrived, and I installed it. I made sure to adjust the chain, and I adjusted it so there was very little slack. However, I still need to hold the handle down for a couple seconds when I flush it, to make it flush properly. I'm not sure why this is happening now. The toilet is not running, and other than having to hold the handle down for a couple seconds to make it flush, everything else is working fine now. I don't want to be continuously buying new flappers, just to have them not work, when I don't really know if it'll help anyway. What would your suggestion be?

This is the second one for the basement bat. ru-vid.comUgkxOuLt8IL_GxhhaK8DBuKEL-zV0UJVpWZn , works great

i am holding handle down and it still will not completly flush..any suggestions.i do not think it is clogged..even when i try to plunge water will not go down...i don't think it is plumbing it's new about 5 years..i am trying to figure it out myself..this just started today..my husband passes away a year ago..so i try to do things myself and if i can't i call in professional..i am a 57 year old lady...trying to learn things so i can feel confident i can do things myself but if i can't i will call in the professional.i just want to know why even when i hold the handle down it still isn't completely flushing..thanks

what if we don’t have a chain contraption?

What if the chain is taught?

So the chain should be tight. Not a lot of slack?

That doesn't fix it for me, i just replaced the overfill valve which works great now but now the flapper slams shut too fast and the chain is set correctly...do i need to also replace the flapper or could it be something else? The flapper was working fine before i replaced the overfill valve lol

Don't hate me.... but the word is "Taut". "Taunt" means something else. My mom always said this and it drove me crazy haha.

The word is taut not taunt.

I think the word you're looking for is "taut"... "taunt" is when you goad someone on to be angry

If this isn't the solution, you need a new flapper and/or ring (flapper and/or chain can degrade over time).They come in replacement kits at hardware store.

Mine sounds like the water keeps running what can I do ? The handle is loose and won’t even pull the flap at all

Taut

No n in taut

"taut"

Didn't solve my problem. My toilet flushes only if I hold the handle long, about 6 seconds(((((

Americans talk so much that it takes them 2 minutes to say something that should only take 10 seconds. "If you have to hold down the flash handle to keep the water flowing, try shortening the chain until there's no slack"

Yeah, that’s not a fix. Usually it’s an adjustment on your flapper

Thanks!!!
