Hi, I have a push flush toilet with a WDI float valve.
The last couple of days it keeps on filling into the over flow, and only cuts off after about 5 minutes.
Tonight it seems to not be stopping, and I can't work out how to adjust it so it cuts off lower than the overflow.

Is this something easy to adjust or do I need to call a plumber.

Any help much appreciated!

Do you have an isolator valve under the toilet. If so use a flat bladed screwdriver to turn the slotted screw in the isolated 90 degrees until the water stops.

I think the diaphram washer might have failed. These valves are available in screwfix so they may sell replacement diaphram washers
 
As Paul plumb said you need to isolate but your fill valve may require replacement
If you do replace I would recommend a fluidmaster pro 45b with brass shank
Good luck
 
Thanks both for the reply. I've managed to isolated it and will look into it at the weekend.

Thanks again.

I was stupid enough not to check the position of the pipes under the tiles when installing a toilet and drilled right through the center of a 16 mm copper water pipe. I exposed the pipe by removing a ~30cm section of the plastic sleeve and a ~10 cm section of the pipe around the hole. Several...

Ideal Logic 24, Previous problem was that the hot water was only cold or barely warm if the heating was in use. If heating was off and boiler cold then would get hot water most of the time. Changing the flow cartridge about 2 years ago (when I moved in) solved this problem enough to suffer it as...
