i had a similar problem over the weekend. no water would come into fill
valve to fill the tank.

at first i bought a washer for the fill valve (Fluidmaster), but then I
decided to just replace the entire valve. it was easier and cost less that
$8 at Lowes.

I have a problem with my traditional toilet in the basement bathroom.
Occasionally the tank won't refill with water after the toilet is
flushed, however, if I turn on the water in the bathtub beside it the
tank will refill after a few seconds. What causes this problem?
Thanks.
