Default Jiggling handle doesn't help

"Dont use" wrote in message

I have a nearly-new Toto toilet that runs on after you flush it. As I said
in the subject line, jiggling the handle doesn't do anything. On a few
rare
occasions, it will stop on its own after what seems a reasonable amount of
time but it usually runs on, as much as all day long. We discovered the
problem after flushing just before leaving for work (around 8 am) and it
was
still running when I got home at supper time. Until that time, I knew it
was slow but I figured it would stop on its own eventually. It had always
seemed to.


Did you open the tank cover to look? Usually the cause and the solution is
pretty obvious. Common causes:

(1) the flap is stuck slightly open
(2) the floating valve is stuck open or didn't float high enough to shut the
valve
