Can the problem described by Charles M. (water squirts out of top of fill valve during fill cycle) be fixed by simply replacing one of the seals or gaskets like part number 1001958?

A soft parts rebuild will usually work. The water squirting from the top indicates the vacuum-breaker gasket is either worn or out of alignment. Occasionally the whole vacuum breaker assembly gets warped or mineral adhesions, and a new sealing washer doesn't work, so it's not a sure cure.

I did not have good luck replace seals and I have three identical toilets and have had the whole assembly replace.

Probably not the valve. I had the same issue and the problem was the outlet tube was clogged with carbon. I would check that first.

As far as I know there is nothing you can do to fix that other than to replace the part. You might find the occasional well-stocked hardware store that would have the part you are after but the better bet would be to contact Thermos directly at: 1-800-831-9242 or visit www.thermos.com. I have been handwashing mine - not sure if that absolutely needs to happen but so far there have been no issues doing it that way. Good luck!

Mine Still works and hasn't leaked. I put grease on the o-rings to help prevent it leaking. If it's within 30 days call the vendor and see if you can get a replacement.

I had the same problem, because of the bottom rubber gasket that makes it really hard to screw down tightly. I solved it by getting rid of the gasket and using plumbers putty instead. No leaks.

If it leaks, you have over filled it. Read the directions. Also, taking the rubber seal out, rinsing it, and fitting it back in will help as well. There is a max fill line. No liquids over the line. Its a great machine. I flipping love mine.

I've had the same problem! It's impossible to get the water out too! Could there be a missing gasket? If you get an answer, please let me know. Thanks!

Mine leaked. You might need new gasket rings. Mine always broke and didn't seal completely.

Not quite sure your question. What I did was replaced the whole parts. In my case, the leaking was between the parts and the water tank. Actually, that happened more than 1 year already. I can check it tonight. Good luck.

That is the indication that you have a leaking flapper. You should replace the flapper to fix your leak. the fill valve is doing what it's supposed to do (keep the tank full)... as a matter of fact, it's alerting you (via swoosh sound) that you have a flapper leak and you're wasting water.

Since mine is installed, the main valve has been remained open. If your spray head is leaking, my guess is that you have less than perfect parts and/or the installation was not done properly.

Yes, there is a problem. The internal valve has a tendency to stick within the first two weeks, impeding water flow. The only way to prevent this was to remove the valve completely, eliminating the handy feature of having a quick connect that doesn't require turning the water off to move the hose. The other issue is as others mentioned. The ones I bought were brass, but about one in 5 chronically leaked. If I had it to do over, I would not have purchased.

Yes, I bought one to fix the problem and wondered why I waited so long to do so. If the leaking is caused by a loose assembly then this will fix it.

I am sure there is a way to patch it, but the company has a pretty good warranty and a lifetime warranty against leaks. I haven't had any troubles with leaking yet with moderate use so far.

I have the same problem. The problem is a little Gasket inside the Flush Valve Assembly (THU322) which over time gets cut from the pressure against the plastic rim. I'm currently contacting Toto on this and crossing my fingers they have good customer service.

yes i made it all the way through (its possible)..having asked such question marks the possibility of you having a defected/broken shutoff valve..in case you do..try to shut down the water of the house as whole before replacing it or call the maintenance guy plus if you have leakage you need a teflon tape

Tiny food particles on the gasket or the rim of the lid. Reclean both lid & gasket. Turn gasket 180dgrees & try again. If still leaks then lid or gasket probably defective. Only put a small amount of water in the bottom 12 to 24 oz. Way too much heat causes a jet of steam to come off of the valve. Turn heat down so only a little hissing is heard, that is enough heat.
