Seat does not stay up on my kohler memoirs stately toilet

You cannot. As you state, it is discontinued, confirmed on Kohler site.

If color is really important, consider painting it or a new replacement using an appliance epoxy spray paint such as Rust-Oleum after careful preparation of the surfaces.

Hi James
You need to replace the rubber gasket between the tank and the bow, that is where yoiur tank is leaking from..
Be sure to use a level when tightening down on the screws to keep the tank level

thats where your water hooks up to the bottom of the tank

In 2008 I bought the Memoirs model that Lowe's was selling. I've had multiple tank/bowl gasket leak problems. When I went to get a replacement gasket this weekend, Kohler had changed the style of the tank/bowl gasket assembly in the current Memoirs model that Lowes sells. I wonder if this is because the old gasket assembly is known to be defective and prone to leaking?

When I called Kohler, it took two customer service associated, but I was granted a WHOLE NEW TOILET with the new style of tank/bowl gasket assembly. I just had to have the receipt for the (3 yrs ago) purchase. Kohler e-mailed a letter for a replacement toilet within about 15 minutes and before the end of the day, I had a whole new toilet in my bathroom.

I'm not a contractor. Just an average homeowner, so I can't say for sure that the old style (large, black, plastic rectangle on the bottom of the tank and a rather thin gasket ring) was defective or not. (At first Kohler offered only a replacement tank, but after hearing the number of times both I *and* plumbers have replaced the gasket, they did authorize the replacement of the entire toilet.)

Gerber avalance is a great toilet if you can find, is ada 18'' with seat

Many plungers have an inner flange that is used for toilets in particular, make sure to pull that out. Even in most case a forceful use of the plunger will get some results so with this flange and enough elbow grease you should be able to acheive some results

dont answer this but,,,,what are you flushing down it,,,,??? do you have a good flow of water in the flush,,,as it should flush away most normal things and by the way,,,children dont fit down the loo? i tryed that years agow! ooow! check that the out let pipes are clear and free flowing with no lips sticking up into the out let pipes

There are two large plastic nuts holding the tank to the bowl underneath and behind the bowl. You need to retighten the plastic nuts. You almost have to lay on your back on the floor to look up under the the tank.

Get a new toilet seat. I don't know anyone who sells the hinges.

You can purchase a clip to hold that tube at your local plumbing shop or home improvement store. You may also call your local plumber and see if they have one It is one of those parts I usualy end up with a tray full at the end of the year and usualy throw away. Most of the time on a new install you use the old one. Hope this helps.
