Default toilet not refilling after flushing

david wrote:
I have a flush tank with a float that goes up and down the refill valve
(not the ball). Recently however after I flush the toilet occasionally
water will refill into the tank only after i have touched/moved the
float up and down. Also noticed water fill over the fill tube thus
leaking excess water into the toilet blow.
Any suggestions on a remedy

Thanks


Sounds like the valve part of the assembly is getting sticky.

Easiest thing to do is just replace the entire fill valve assembly, they
can be gotten for around $10 at the box stores.
