Why is the float on my Kohler toilet not working?
If there is not enough water coming into the tank, you can turn the screw the opposite way which will cause the float to sit higher and allow more water in. If the float cannot be adjusted, or it sinks to the bottom of the toilet, either the mechanism is broken or the float is cracked, and will need to be replaced.
What should I do if my Kohler toilet tank overflows?
Replace the fill valve with a KOHLER fill valve if the float sinks. If lowering the tank water level does not correct the overflow problem, clean or replace the fill valve. If applicable: Adjust the trip arm bracket and flange so they are parallel with the top of the tank.

Where is the water level on a Kohler toilet?
It is important for the tank to have the proper amount of water to ensure the toilet flushes properly. KOHLER toilets have a water level indicator located on the flush valve or on the tank wall. The water level is raised or lowered by adjusting the float on the fill valve.
