If your toilet is completely clear of clogs and the bowl drains normally when filled, but pressing the flush handle produces no action, the problem is entirely mechanical inside the tank. Remove the tank lid and check the flush chain; if it is detached, snapped, or too slack, reattach it to the trip lever arm so it lifts the flapper valve when pressed. Additionally, check if the water level in the tank has dropped below the minimum operating line due to a stuck fill valve float. Callout type="warning" title="Hygiene Warning": Wear rubber gloves when reaching into tank water. Verification: Manually lift the flapper to confirm the toilet flushes and empties correctly.
