How to Fix a Stuck Toilet Handle
If your toilet handle is stuck and won't flush properly, there are several steps you can take to fix it. Follow these simple instructions to get your toilet back in working order.
Instructions
- Check the handle itself. Make sure it is flush against the wall and that all the screws are secure.
- If the handle is loose, tighten the mounting nut behind the handle and see if that fixes the problem.
- If the handle is still tight, pivot it so that it lines up with the plunger arm properly. Some handles may need to be removed to properly line up.
- Identify where the lift chain is attached. If it is too loose, the handle won't be able to move freely. Resecure the lift chain so it is not slack.
- If the lift chain is securely attached, use a screwdriver to tighten the handle screws. This can often free up a stuck handle.
- If the handle is still sticking, a more serious issue may be at play. Try removing the handle and plunger chain and ensure there is no dirt or debris in the way. If the problem persists, you may need to replace the entire handle assembly.
