Hi all. I have the Type A GMAX flush/fill valve in my Toto Drake. In the past month or so it has started to make a moaning noise in the last few seconds of the fill cycle. No other performance issues noted. Reviewing older posts on the subject, I see that there is a screen in the inlet end. Understanding that no other repairs are possible to this valve and replacement with the Type B valve or Korky equivalent would be in order, I have a question.
Would a partially clogged screen be a reason for the moaning noise at the valve? I'm happy to check/clean it but if the noise is due to an issue up top in the valve itself I won't waste the time and will just get a new valve.
(yes, I know it's a quick job to check but if the connection leaks when I put the hose back on I will have to go get another hose ASAP. Would rather make one trip or no trip).
Thanks all for your knowledge in advance!
