Take the lid off and watch what happens when you flush.


Is the tank filled to the proper level before you start?
How far down does it go when you flush?
Is the flapper falling prematurely (sinking)?
If so, does holding down the lever make it flush properly?


(Assuming a "standard" toilet.)



-------------------------------------

Yes all of this looks normal. The rubber hose is attached and stil
clamped securely, the water level in the tank is normal and the
flapper is working correctly.

When I flush, the water level does not go down at all. It rises about
an inch or so and then returns to normal near the end of the flush.
Also, there is a kind of squirting sound coming from the bowl during
the flush that was not present until this problem arose.


Ah, so the water in the tank does not make it to the bowl?

If that's the case, then there's an obstruction between the tank and the
bowl, probably at the little hole in the bottom of the bowl where the water
from the tank exits.

Try poking around there - the small hole. Or from the top. Something is
clogging it up.

I suspect a frog.
