Servicing Geberit concealed cistern

[silver50]

I removed the wooden shelf above the cistern today to try and look at the set up. There was no access (or at least it hadn’t been considered). Cistern is occasionally running after flushing (pushing a button in sharply usually stops the water).

There was no access underneath the wooden shelf.

be very grateful to have a bit advice on this. I tried to unclip the chrome bezel around the buttons with no great success.

My skill set probably would be decent enough to fix this if I know a bit more about what’s likely required.

many thanks

access is through the chrome fascia with the buttons. the ones i’ve fitted were removed by pushing upwards to unclip.

I think the chrome flush plate slides to the side. It's either that or up.

Thanks. Should a person get enough access from there/from the side (rather than from above) to likes of change the flush valve?

 

[lloyda]

Apparently, can all be done through that plate (!)

Yes .

Orrible job though

the valve has to be disassembled to get it out.

 

[silver50]

Thanks. Good to understand. Less good a prospect to try and work on

Would be quite good if I could rustle up some instructions on the interweb. I’ll maybe try n search.

Dont force it, everything will go through the aperture, usually without disassembly of parts, takes a bit of wigglin n jigglin.
Plenty of instruction online and try
toiletspares.co.uk for parts

Designed by idiots, no thought for service/repair.
Call a gyneacologist

 

[silver50]

Got to say don’t entirely fancy it much

As Godwasaplasterer push up to remove the flush plate.

If you download the Geberit Pro app. on your phone and scan the flush plate, that will ID any parts you might need for that Geberit cistern.

Fantastic. Many thanks JimCrow

Might just need the flush (push) rods adjusting. Mine go "out" every now and again and cause either running or poor flushing (it's a ROCA) but I think very similar.
