Hold the handle down for five seconds when you flush.
You may need to adjust the float. If that doesn't work, you may need to replace the flapper.
There is a float inside the tank that shuts off the water when full. There is also a drain that keeps the tank from over filling. If the float is set to high it will keep running into the overflow and won't shut the water off, this could be your problem. Remove the tank lid and flush, watch the float and overflow pipe to see if this is the problem. If it is adjust the float to shut the water off at a level below the overflow pipe.
Take off the tank lid. More than likely, either the little Jose has come out of the ceramic pipe where it should be, or the little chain has come off or needs to be adjusted by moving the chain to a new hole in the balance bar to make it lift the flapper on the bottom. This is a very untechnical answer, but I hope it helps. Best wishes 😇💖
replace the inner works. pay attention to the flap valve. It may not seal and therefore the toilet runs to keep the water in the tank at the right level
I’m sure that the sales agent at your local hardware will be more than happy to instruct you in the installation. Both HD Lowe’s people have always been helpful when I have asked questions,
