Troubleshooting

Push button does not flush or flushes weakly.

Check that the push rod inside the cistern is correctly aligned and connected to the flush valve. Ensure the button is screwed on securely but not overly tight.

Dual flush options are not working.

Verify that the internal mechanism is correctly assembled and that the button is fully engaging both flush settings. Ensure no obstructions are present inside the cistern.

Button is difficult to press.

Ensure the button is not cross-threaded or too tightly secured to the cistern lid. Check for any internal obstructions within the cistern mechanism.

Button does not fit the cistern lid hole.

Re-measure the cistern lid hole. If it is outside the 39-42mm range, this button is not compatible. Check the product description for alternative models.
