Fixed it for me! I initially replaced the fill valve replacement cap, since it was trashed after 11 plus years, and didnt fix the issue Stumbled across your video and flipped the rubber foot on the float and boom, success! Thank you!

Man, the pink gasket on mine, has a big old hole in it, and the whole valve sticks on and off all the way until it fills the bowl even though it has a hole in it I cleaned it up put it all back together and it works perfectly fine I went on Amazon and found a new replacement gasket for five bucks It’s on the way, but we’re flushing turds in the meantime Thank the lord 🙏

Thanks so much for this video It exactly described my problem I fixed the valve in five minutes
Comment from : Jim Cauthen

Excellent disassembly instruction For my case it was the diaphragm gasket that has a tear so I had to replace the whole assembly which is $12
Comment from : Ted Nguyen

Flipping the little red rubber disc worked for us too; that indent in the rubber material wasn't allowing the float to stop the water from running hence the water level would rise above the black drain tube and make a dripping sound (and produce larger water bills) Thanks for solving our problem and extending the life of this cheap plastic Korky flush assemblyI'm sure will have to replace it eventually The old metal assemblies lasted longer and you only had to change the flappers

Thanks you saved me time and money Much appreciated!
Comment from : Paul Marchlowitz

Awesome video! I had the exact, same problem and your solution was all I needed to do as well! Easy!
Comment from : Jon Arnett

It worked! Your video saved the day Thank you so much!
Comment from : rc ranger

This is just what I needed As the kids say, "You rock!" Thanks so much

[Edit] Update This trick worked for 6 months for mine I have flipped the pilot seat rubber piece back over, and turned it at another angle, and it is working again now Note: I am considering putting a harder material in there instead of rubber, for a permanent fix They don't sell this part alone
Comment from : wbwright79

This actually works! The rubber seal think that you flipped over was powdery pink Flipped it over and it works great!
Comment from : Jerico Cabaya

Ed, THANKS for this tip! You just saved me a lot of bother, including how to take apart! Flipping the little gasket is brilliant! Best to you, Lou

My man! About 8 videos later I find this godsend 🏆 I appreciate you Good Sir
Comment from : Daylate W

What's the name of the pad piece? Mine is black and scrubs off rather than pops out, so I can't flip it
Comment from : Cohero

Great stuff, this worked for my Flush Valve
Comment from : Christen Himself

Thanks for the video! I have replaced the Korky about three times in the last ten yearsbrYou saved me this time! Great step by step guide and it stopped leaking
Comment from : F M

Outstanding tutorial! Thank You 🙏
Comment from : Kirkus Arelius

For some reason my toilet won't refill despite this being newly installed with my toilet I have to push on the fill valve's side in order to trigger a refill Any tips on what it could be?
Comment from : lewchootrain

Exact problem I had, and fixed it in moments Thank you!
Comment from : Ryan Vurlicer

After watching your video, it took me only about 2 minutes remove the cover and flip over the red rubber seal No more running toilet! You saved me at least an hour to 90 minutes, plus the trouble to run to the store, buy a new one and replace it Now I can do something more productive with my time! Many thanks!
Comment from : DG

Thank you so much!!!
Comment from : Carolyn Meehan

Easy fix… thanks!
Comment from : Kurt Kupersmith

Thank you for explaining things so well! You are a gift to the DIYers! Woohoo!
Comment from : Beez Felesina

Great video, thanks Just watched, went in and flipped the rubber disk and bam! No more slowly over filling the tank and into the bowl
Comment from : Eric Johnson

So far, so good, but what a crappy design! if it starts to run after filling again, I'm replacing it with a Flowmaster or an old float ball if I can find them! Why are we changing what has always worked, for crap that needs constant correction???
Comment from : twitch65

Worked for me, curious as to why the water level never went up
Comment from : Eddy Locke

Very helpful
Comment from : JaKey

Great video Better than the Korky video At 1:56 you mention the hole in the diaphragm cap as important for later in the video, but don't mention it again Now I'm curious!
Comment from : H Frame

Flipping the rubber piece fixed it for me too Thank you!
Comment from : jerrychen81

Comment from : JOHN SAMSON

Yep that’s the noise!
Comment from : Jim Thomas

One of the best-made how-to's I've seen on YouTube Very clear photography and explanation I was dealing with a brand new Korky that was leaking and your remedy was easier than pulling the unit out and taking it back to HD for an exchange Thanks!
Comment from : n woods

Great info! While you are in there, you can pull the white filter screen out of the stem and clean it
Comment from : solarsynapse

The flush valve is only about 7 years old and it was a little tough to twist the stem off because of hard water deposits (Phoenix water) so I used vinegar to break up the deposits and it came apart really easy Just a tip for those who might encounter a similar situation

Hi - thanks for the videobrAfter flipping the red rubber bit and reassembling, it's still hissing and leaking more water into the tankbrThoughts on a next step?
Comment from : Carol Riddell

I thought I was fairly handy until completely foxed by this valve which was gummed up with our highly mineralized well water Your pointers allowed me to disassemble, clean and reassemble without any problems and working properly again Great video, thank you for making life more tolerable ;)

How to fix overflowing water tube? The water running like crazy
Comment from : chandureddy1

Saved me from calling the plumber Thank you!!
Comment from : Rebecca Broussard

Even though Lowes and The Home Depot sell several versions of the Korky valve, as of May 2021 they don't seem to carry any replacement parts, such as the elastomer disc and the valve diaphragm The only option would be to replace the whole valve assembly or to buy the cheapest version and rob it for parts
Comment from : Milosz Ostrow

I watched this plumbing technique and he is absolutely the best one yet
Comment from : Tammy Cole

Comment from : Mike Strip

Thanks for the video I tried everything in it and it still leaks Time for a replacement Too bad as it was a big improvement on the previous one
Comment from : Al Samsa

My korky may be 10 years old - do you suppose the parts are still the same in your video? I couldn't seem to get the tube off of there (afraid I'll break something) so I left that one and removed the white cover, but couldn't get the top to twist off
