Another Toilet Issue November 21, 2015, 08:44:55 am Yahoo Message Number: 157077Since we're on the subject of toilets, Sealand Traveler 510, I figured I'd toss in my latest challenge. A few days ago when I flushed the toilet there was a snapping noise of some sort and the pedal did not go back up by itself. We now have to pull it back up each time. I took the pedestal shroud off and removed the pedal, nothing obvious to me was wrong. Got out the manual and looked at the troubleshooting page - mentions the "spring cartridge assembly" as the probable culprit. Anyone have experience with that? It would seem like something I ought to be able to handle.Thanks for any advice.WxToad @ Florala City Park, AL www.wxtoad.com www.ultimatecampgrounds.com

It's a $25-$30 part, and if you have previously disassembled your toilet, replacing it shouldn't be too challenging. While you're at it, you might as well replace the ball valve and seal--another $60-$90, but worth doing as long as you have the toilet disassembled.Andy Baird
