steveoelliott Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Hi all, Sorry for the layman question but I have a defective flusher (intermittent) which I need to replace. I'm pretty sure I can muster this myself but just want to know what I need to order. Thanks in advance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 When the button is pushed, does the other end of the plastic tube respond? When you take the tubes off the button and push the button is air forced out of the button tube connectors? I.e. is it the button, pipe or flusher not working?

Marvin Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Can you take a photo showing the flusher system? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveoelliott Posted July 21, 2022 Author Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) Sometimes the flush works and other times it only does a partial /weak / half hearted flush etc. I figured replacing the button was the most logical thing to do but should I be investigating the actual flusher also?

Check water level, may be that the cistern is not filling correctly and this is causing the poor or non existent flush 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The button does feel rather worn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 You've taken the blue plastic plate away to see the pipes after that are ok?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 You know the button is a dual flush? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will do that but I assume they are as for the most part it does flush OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well in fact, the bottom part is broken and as you can see that part of the button is pushed in. Yes short press for short flush, press and hold for long.
