A toilet that cuts on and off by itself, or runs intermittently, has a problem that plumbers call a phantom flush. The cause is a very slow leak from the tank into the bowl. The solution is to drain the tank and bowl, check and clean the flapper seat, and replace the flapper if it’s worn or damaged.Click to see full answer. Beside this, why does my toilet randomly run for a few seconds?The most common issue with toilets randomly flushing is that the flapper has become brittle or sediment has formed on the flapper/tank which prevents the flapper making a complete seal. If enough water is permitted to leak out of the tank, the filling mechanism will be triggered and the tank will refill.Subsequently, question is, why does my toilet make noise every few minutes? A worn or faulty flapper could be the reason why your toilet is making noise when not in use. If the flapper is not working properly, it can cause your toilet to constantly run and even waste several gallons of water. When the tank fills back up, test it out and see if your toilet still makes noise when not being used. Simply so, why does toilet run every 5 minutes? toilet runs every 5-10 min for 30 secs. your toilet is “cycling” because water is slowly leaking out of the tank during those 10 minutes. The most common cause of this is a leaking flapper valve. Put some food colouring in the tank water and see if the bowl water changes to the same colour.How do I stop my toilet bowl from trickling? It’s happening either because the tank is overflowing or because water is dripping through a damaged flapper into the bowl. Remove the tank cover and observe the water level. Turn off the water valve under the toilet tank and flush the toilet to drain the tank.
