What should I do if my toilet won't flush but is not clogged?

If your toilet won’t flush and the bowl isn’t clogged, check the tank parts or water supply. Most fixes are simple and quick at home.

Quick checks:

• Remove the tank lid and make sure the water fills to the normal level.
• Reattach or tighten the handle chain to the flapper.
• Ensure the flapper isn’t warped and seals properly.
• Open the shutoff valve fully at the wall.
• If the fill valve keeps running or is silent with no refill, it may need replacement.
