Troubleshooting
Inspection shaft cover is difficult to remove.
Ensure you are using the correct tool or method specified in your Grohe flush plate manual. Check for any debris obstructing the cover.
Leak detected around the inspection shaft.
Turn off the water supply to the toilet/cistern. Carefully inspect the seals and connections where the inspection shaft meets the frame and the drainage pipe. Re-seat or replace any damaged seals. Consult a professional if unsure.
Drainage appears to be blocked despite the inspection shaft.
The inspection shaft provides access to the pipe connection, not the entire drainage line. Further investigation of the main waste pipe may be required. Ensure the shaft itself is clear of obstructions.
