Does replacing the valve fix the problem where the canister drops too soon?

It did for me. That was not why I bought it (the rubber seal on the canister bottom must have hardened and was slowly leaking), but I noticed that it also fixed that.

No, it will not fix that problem. Kohler's "Class 5 Technology" design requires the user to press the flush handle down and hold it to keep the canister open for a full flush. If you simply press and release, the canister drops quickly releasing only about .5 gallons of water.

If its the Pressure valve on the side of the bottom chamber, then it a definite defect and you should request a replacement. If it's the coffee release valve( that consists of two pieces) on the upper chamber, then you need to make sure that top piece is secured tightly to the screw like piece underneath.

sorry about last between 3-8 seconds and make sure you screw plastic canister on tight .

You can try replacing the Joker Valve. Here's a youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqYkXa5AWe8

I had this problem from day one and found that a smooth slow shut off will eliminate the drip in the directions it mentions a water pressure regulator I believe that would probably end the problem.....Just a guess

I had the same issue. After days of research you have to buy a whole new burner. That part is easy to break and they dont make spares sold separately nor do any hardware store sell valves that match. Its custom made.

Probably not the valve. I had the same issue and the problem was the outlet tube was clogged with carbon. I would check that first.

I'm not sure because while I thought my pump had died, my husband googled a few things and found that replacing the white valves really help. I replaced them and the suction is good as new!

I agree with you, but unfortunately I'm not aware of a suitable replacement. I would look into replacing the entire valve stem assembly -- an experienced might be familiar with this issue and have a suggestion.

The valves are used to the pressure. Not sure if it can be replaced. It depends on where the Crack is. It's all one unit

Theoretically. But I'd have a professional check out the valve and replace if necessary. High pressure can be dangerous.

We had the same problem and needed to replace the o-ring at the base of the water tank. My husband did it - if I recall it was a simple fix.

I know of no way other than maybe adjust the max pressure valve lower for several times. I have used mine for about 6 months and love it

I don't know, it seems to me that the valves are usually the problem. I love the programmer. It is simple. The company did replace two valves for me no problem so they will perhaps replace the other part.

Not that I know of. There could be something stuck in the two tracks that go down the central support. Or maybe the adjustment nuts at the top that control the pressure have gotten out of whack.

I have this issue with mine. The handle doesn't lift high enough to lock it into place, so not only does the tank tend to fall out easily, it constantly drips and leaks. It didn't start until after the return date, so I still have the carpet cleaner and I still love it, aside from this annoying issue. I could probably order a replacement tank for it and solve the issue once and for all.

see this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WY5EVU8sj0 VSV is part of canister and, if bad, the entire canister must be replaced per the video.
