Hi. For months we have had intermittent problems with water running after the flush. I have cleaned the washer by wiping my fingers around it. This worked for a while but the problem returned. We overcame it by jabbing the front flush button with a finger. This worked 100% in releasing closing the water off. Until yesterday when it stopped flushing altogether. I have looked inside the cistern. All is as before. I have removed the switch and taken it apart to see how it works. I can see that the metal cable that looks to be 'pulled' when thebuton is pressed now has no tension. I have looked at the main valve to see whether it has a removeable top part - to enable me to look inside to try to refix the cable. It seems as though the unit isn't removeable without removing the cistern to get at the nut. I think that it is a torbeck - it is mainly white with a blue moving tube. The cable cover to the switch is yellow - if that helps. I can't see any obvious clips that would allow me to take the main body away from the washer end. We now flush the thing by lifting up the blue moving tube - works but not a long-term solution! Any help hugely appreciated! many thanks.
