Sloan Flushmate m-101526-f3 won't flush

[SylviaRaymond]

I have a Sloan Flushmate and it does not flush. After my water was turned off for a few hours, when it came back on, my Sloan Flushmate was making a steady running water noise plus pops and grunts, and it won't flush. I tried cleaning the screen located inside the hose but that did nothing. Does anyone know of something else to do? When I try to flush it, nothing happens, plus there is no water in the tank.

Sounds like it could be the plunger to me. Sometimes they need adjustment in order to get a good seal at the bottom of the tank. The troubleshooting guide should have instructions on how to turn the plunger. I use the handle on pliers to tighten the plunger further in until it seals.
