Fixing a Push Button Toilet |
|
|
This has been bugging me for a while. I'm sure the answer is laughably simple, but I just dont see it. I have a problem with the cistern on the toilet, it is easy to fix, if I can just lift the lid off the cistern. Before you laugh, it isn't as easy as all that as it is one of those with the flush button in the middle of the lid, and when I try to lift the lid, the button mechanism stays attached and won't lift. I'm afraid of pulling too hard and breaking something. Where is the screw to loosen the lid or did the installer glue the whole thing in place as a long term practical joke?

My husband found an old push button toilet with elongated seat and bowl and is really short in hight, the seat said Montgomery Ward but could not find anything about it from their website. We would like to know if anyone can tell us where to find replacement parts for the tank of this toilet. It has the push button not on top of the tank lid but in the spot where the flush lever would be.
Thank you for any help you can give us. R&M

Thank you! I had tried unscrewing the metal ring at first but that clearly wasn't right for this mechanism. So, searched around and came up with these notes. Lifted one of the buttons out and that was it! I unscrewed a central screw and lifted out the metal dish. This revealed all the flush mechanism inside. Near the bottom of the central 'pillar' was a dish-shaped plate. I gave this a little prod with a screwdriver and it dropped down into place from where it had been stuck.

My toilet broke when I was on the way to bed and, thanks to you, it was fixed before my cocoa had gone cold. I love the internet.

If it has two push buttons then press one button and try to take the second button off because they have been just slide in. Once the buttons are off you will be able to see the screw underneath the button and that's the answer to your question.

try placing your finger firmly on the toiletes flush button and without pressing twist it to see if it will loosen. when i worked at home depot thats how many of the display models came apart. or try the manufacturers website, often they have either email or a question answer page.
