My Fill valve does not turn off completely.Response from Kohler said to take red cap off and purge water through it. Anyone know what this means? All seals new and not leaking.

You would take the red cap off. Put a cup over it and hold it there. Flush the toilet making sure you hold the cup in place so you don't get water everywhere. Then replace the cap and it should work. If not it's cheaper to replace the valve than to waste to much time on it. Debri sometimes gets caught up in the valve. If you received the different size flow regulators maybe try a different one while you have the cap off.

I've read somewhere else that when they stop making steam, you should turn it off, and empty the tank thoroughly. Then place a newly filled bottle and turn it on. I haven't had a problem with mine, but I did remember that from other reviews.

Could be a bad seal in the pump. Do you have an acummulator tank? They smooth out the flow. Leaks can be hard to see/find from the toilet. Coul be a bad switch.

You should be able to turn it to the right until it stops. It shuts the valve off where you fill it. Some valves will leak over time so the shut off will stop the air from leaking back out the valve. If the red knob spins freely the the red knob maybe off the cut off valve. Try sliding the red knob back down onto the valve then see if turning it to the right 5-6 turns tightens down and cuts off the valve. If you can not cut the valve off regardless of the amount of turns then the red knob maybe stripped and you may have to return the tank for replacement. However, I would not recommend leaving air in the tank long term because it can build up rust in the tank. I fill my tank then carry it and fill tires and then if any air left in the tank I blead it all out. My father in law had an air tank that the valve worked good however he never turned the valve off so he could fill it quick and use it without having to turn the valve on and off each time. Hope this helps. Thanks Thomas

Mine was installed by a contractor as well, but your issue sounds like a valve problem where it is not closing completely when you turn it off. There are many reasons this could happen, the valve could be bad (warped, cracked, etc.) in which case I'm not sure how you would replace it or it may just need adjusting. Have you contacted the manufacturer?

I would recommend soaking the lid in vinegar for awhile, and i have even cleaned the float valve (? - circular stop valve) w/ q-tips -- clean that area out really well. I would also recommend highly to use coffee filters vs. the reuable gold filter. Once i cleaned and used disposible filters -- it stopped the leaking. Good luck to you~!

The flow is supposed to shut off. However, most quick connect type fittings ( I'm very familiar with the compressed air quick connects) eventually leak and I believe these might as well. To eliminate the chance they would leak a ball valve is included. After 1 year mine seal very well without using the ball valve.

I wonder if you were ever able to fix this? Mine leaks all over the place and in reading other reviews of this DeLonghi product, it seems a common complaint. Also seems like "not fixable." A real bummer.

It's not likely the fault of the fluid master. I would suspect it is just reacting, as it should, to a leaky flush seal where the water exits the tank during the flush. It may not be sealing off tightly and, thus, permitting a slow leakage of the water in the tank past it and into the bowl below. As the water level slowly drops enough to a point that the Fluidmaster decides to refill the tank, you may be hearing it refill for a few seconds. If this is determined to be the problem, then replace the flush seal rubber washer or bulb (which-either your tank has). This is done without removing the tank.

not sure what this means. What would the purpose of the cap or plug be? I had a problem with a dramm watering wand and called dramm directly and got instant and pleasant service and a free replacement for the missing part. Try it!

Did you check if maybe you overfilled the unit? If not, than maybe you should return for a new one. I have had mine for 6 months and i have never had a leak. So maybe your unit could be defected?

Unscrew and clean out the spray 'head' above the fillter container; it might have become clogged over time. Or request new spray head from the company; we got a free one that slows down the water coming into the filter and keeps it from overflowing.

I believe there is an adjustment screw that increases or decreases the flow of water on the fill valve. You should also be able to adjust the float that shuts off the water flow to a level that fills the bowl more fully. Sounds like the float is set to shut off the flow of water before the toilet and tank is set to stop at the correct level. Check for an owners manual or write or call American Standard and they should be able to help you. Good luck.

It could be that the valve is stuck. My manual suggests making sure that it is clean. If it is coming out around the edges, then you need to check the sealer ring and make sure it is in good shape and seated properly.

I took mine apart and put Vaseline around the water inlet fitting, which has done the trick for over six months now. I disconnected the fittings, coated the water line and fitting with Vaseline and reassembled. I asked my local hardware store person about the leaking and he suggested this. It works!

Valve needs the connections from the tank and the compressor to balance the pressure for the right time to turn on the switch. I am not sure what you can cap off other than the relief valve. However some relief valves are used for safety relief valves. You may need a new relief valve of its leaking.

We have not had that problem. It sounds like your faucet is not completely turned off. We do keep the nozzle handle positioned in open position when off so the hose completely drains.
