Kohler Toilet - One Piece with Ingenium Flushing System - San Raphael by - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Flushing problems
Tank needs more water and the flapper has to stay open longer by adjusting chain so the flapper goes up higher when you flush the unit. Practice and you will get it right.
Kohler toilet troubles
The holes around the inside of the bowl may be clogged, try using some CRL and scrubbing the holes with a good stiff brush.
Screw loose in securing toilet to flange
Hopefully you can tighten it Sometimes the flange bends up or can break. Many a flange is not held down properly with good enough screws or the plywood has been rotting etc. If you can tighten it or loosen it then it has to be cut off with a recipricating saw or hacksaw and replaced.
How do you get the top plastic cap off the Kohler Ingenium flush
My Kohler Ingenium has no pins. The white cap is attached to the grey lever which must be lifted up before twisting both one-eighth turn counter-clockwise, and lifting off of fill tube. Turn the water supply back on and flush the tube out (cover with cup first!). Use a thin wire rod about 12" long to gently poke down into fill tube to clear any clogs. Also check where the small flexible fill tube exits from the main fill tube. Reassemble and cross your fingers.
Ingenium toilet water will not
WEll, two thoughts come to mind. either your float has "sunk" or you have foreign matter in the inlet valve...Typically, you replace the inlet valve in this case.
When I flush the toilet the handle stays down and
If you lift the lid you should see where the handle goes through the porcelin. You can remove the handle by unscrewing the nut inside the tank. Try cleaning the inside of the nut as sometimes water deposits collect in this area and cause binding on the handle shaft. After you clean it up you can apply a very small amount of petrolium jelly to the handle shaft when you reinstall it, this should prevent the problem from happening again.
The toilet tank doesn't fill
Kohler toliets can be a pain to repair. I have found with them that the only thing to do with them is go to a plumbing company, take the model number with you and replace all in the inner parts to it. You will replace the fill valve and flush valve. After I do this on Kohler I don't have anymore problems with them. It should work for you, just make sure they are Kohler parts. Good Luck

How to stop a continuing slight bit of water
Sounds like you need a new flapper. You can do this yourself. Just turn the water valve off down below the stool, flush the stool to get all the water out of the tank as possible, take the top of the tank off, reach down and disconnect the flapper. It is located in the center at the bottom of the tank. You can get a new one at Home Depot, wal mart , Lowes or any hardware store.
My 703 Kohler toilet has
Hi, am afraid you have to get a new flush assembly as you have rightly said which is the proper way to solve the flapper problem..
I have a new Kohler
Basically, if water is flowing out of the overflow tube, then water must be coming in...I would suggest that you check the intake valve, it is probably not shutting off completely when the float comes up to the prescribed level,and continues to leak some water into the tank. That is what the overflow tube is there for.
I have a kohler model
Try adjusting the float level. The float is what tells the toilet to stop filling. If the float is set too high, then water will just go down the overflow tube and never be able to get to the level it needs to turn off.
