SiAmp Storm 33A Flush Broken?

[iamatmaaron]

Hello there,

I have recently bought my first house and the toilet in their was new.

Last night when I pushed the flush button down the water wouldnt stop coming and ended up over flowing because there was a small blockage in the toilet.

I franticly took off the push button and cistern cover to see if the flush was stuck down. It was.

I stopped the water flow and unblocked the toilet and thats all fine BUT Im now trying to reassemble the button.

I have the chrome button a spring and a white plastic speak looking thing.

When I fit it all together the white part doesnt fit onto the little white lever part its sorta the wrong way round. Am I missing a part?

It goes Chrome button - Spring - Spear which then goes into the whole to push the lever only one way but it does seem right. Have I got this the wrong way round or has something flung off in the process?

Thanks
Aaron

Get rid and fit a Fluidmaster flapper valve.
Simplistic in design, very little to go wrong and simple to fix if it does.

When I press the flush button on my Twyford toilet, the water only flushes whilst the button is pressed. If I release the button, the flush stops immediately rather than continue until the cistern has emptied. Hence I need to press and hold until it has emptied. I assume that this is a fault. It is around 13 years old now.

I can't figure out if something needs adjusting or replacing. Does anyone have any suggestions about what could be wrong?

An update on my post from 9 Jun 2015.
I bought a replacement and installed it. But it still requires me to keep the button pressed for the length of time I want the water to flush. Perhaps it has always been like this and I never noticed. In the last few weeks my attention was drawn to it because water was slowly running from the cistern into the toilet pan continuously, hence it required some adjusting until the water stopped. Since then I have been keeping an eye or it too much. Anyway it works well enough. Time to get a new hobby now.
