I don't know what happened but I can no longer shut off the water to my toilet. It's been making loud noise for a year but I'd just turn the water off and not worry about it. Now i keep turning right and it doesn't shut up so the noise is permanent. Any ideas?

is the clear plastic handle spinning on the shaft?



basically take a pic in your toilet tank then go to the hardware store and get a rebuild kit. note how long that hose on the valve is and get a hose and valve while you're there. make sure the valve is metal, they're standard for toilets as are the various length tubes.



go home turn the house water off flush the toilet put an old towel down under that valve and start replacing shit from the valve up.



hobo fix would be snap that plastic handle off and put some vise grips on the knob for future avoiding fixing your shit.

You mean your toilet constantly makes a loud noise as long as the water is turned on?

Sounds like your fundamental problem is either

>the toilet fill lever isn't properly closing and switching off the water

>or the tank is leaking water (whether down into the toilet bowl, or onto the floor), so the tank keeps filling to replace what leaks

The latter is less likely, if you aren't bitching about barely any water coming out when you flush.



As other anon says, >>2606858, replace everything from the wall valve, piping to the toilet, and the mechanical bits inside the toilet.

The toilet itself is probably fine (as long as you can find compatible replacement parts for the mechanical).

The leak in the toilet is probably a simple fix.

But instead of fixing it, your "workaround" broke the valve.

So now you've got a bigger problem to fix.



I guess this post is a lesson in fixing things when they break, because small problems become big problems.
