How to fix stuck toilet float?

How to fix stuck toilet float?

The float in our cistern seems to be "stuck/pushing up against" the cistern wall.

I ccan't seem to rectify this, it won't twist or turn and I cannot find any instructions online.

It moves freely when pulled away from the cistern wall.

 

This seems to only have occurred since I replaced the water hose connector.

 

Any ideas?

Re: Stuck toilet float

Hi @Kelli-H,

Apologies that we didn't get to your question quickly enough, but it's great to hear you managed to sort it out.

 

If you don't mind me asking, what was the solution?

 

It would be great to know for future reference.

Hi! There was literally 25 minutes between my post and me finding a solution! 🤣

I found the nut that tightened the inlet valve etc and loosed that, then manoeuvred the float into a better position.

 

So simple really! Got myself frustrated for nothing!! 😅
