Fixing a toilet that won't flush depends on the root cause of the failure. If the handle moves loosely without resistance, remove the tank lid and reattach the broken flush chain to the flapper and trip lever arm. If the handle is stuck or the bowl is full of water, the toilet is clogged and requires a flange plunger to force the obstruction through the trapway. Callout type="warning" title="Hygiene Warning": Wear rubber gloves when handling internal tank parts or plunging backed-up bowls. Verification: Test the flush handle or plunger action to confirm the toilet drains waste rapidly and refills correctly.
