Hi. I have a Kohler toilet and it is filling up very slowly. It basically just drips out of the top assembly on the fill valve. However, if I turn off the valve to the toilet and then turn it back on again it will fill up quickly until I flush the toilet then it starts to fill up slowly again.

Valve fully open on inlet going into toilet if it is then fill valve needs to be replaced check water line for any abstructions that might interfere with water going into tank.
Hi!please kindly check your fill valve if it is working correctly.I thought the problem is in your fill valve.Kindly adjust the floater of your fill valve.
Change out the ball **** and float assembly and flapper valve to one of the newer types...
Also you can set the level of water in the tank by an adjustment screw located at the top of the ball ****.
The Flapper valve on the bottom of the tank also needs replacement, that is causing the tank not to drain properly.

Hi,
I would say yes....here is the .pdf for your toilet and it has nothing like that in it...your toilet should be a simple fill device and flush mechanisim...
I would return it for a new one...
More then likely the power valve in your flush master ball valve is out.. Replace flush valve and should fix problem. Home depot sell fluid master for like 7.50
Check tank for fill line running from fill valve to overflow tube. It will be a 1/4 " line that allows the tank and bowl to fill. It should be connected from fill valve and connected at the top of overflow by a clip or hanger.
Check out the water level in tank to make sure it is filling to line on overflow or within 5/8" to top of overflow pipe.
There is a volume control screw on the valves usually a plastic thumbscrew on side of valve turn clockwise until they quiet up the plumber should have adjusted that these are very tempermental toilets but when adjusted properly are excellent toilets I have 2 in my own home
It sound like you have debris caught in the fill valve. Remove the top where the washer is and put your hand over it and slowly turn the water on to flush the fill valve. Replace the washer with a new one and then replace the top.
If you have the old ball and **** style, replaceing the diaphram is harder so I would recommend replacing it with a fluidmaster fill valve. Hope this helps.
You need to replace the flapper and you will need to purchase one specifically for the Kohler toilet. I have the same toilet and tried using a generic flapper and from experiance, it didn't work until I bought the correct one and I'm a plumber! Have a great night.
It may be that the fill tube has come disconnected . It runs from the top of the fill valve to the overflow. The overflow is the tube that runs up the middle of the tank. The fill tube runs from the top of the fill valve to the top of the overflow tube. Kohler has a little clip that can sometimes come undone and cause spraying.
If that doesn't do it, turn the water off to the toilet and take off the tank lid. Partially open valve ( Slowly). Locate where spray is coming from. If it is in the area on top of the fill valve then yes, buy anew one. ( Fluidmaster )
not filling properly
