In this video home repair guru Tim Carter takes a phone call from a friend whose toilet won’t stop running. Tim walks him through the process of finding and replacing the flapper valve.
The flapper valve in your K-W toilet is the component that opens and closes the drain that lets water into the toilet bowl. If the flapper is not seated correctly water will leak into the bowl and the toilet reservoir will continuously try to fill itself.
If the flapper falls back into position correctly it probably needs replacing because it is worn. Make sure when you go to your Kitchener-Waterloo plumbing supply store to find a replacement part you get the correct one.
