Whats wrong with my toilet sometimes it will fill with water sometimes it wont even when i fill it my self?

it wont flush and i see no water trying to fill the tank and the floating thing seems to be in order but then again what do i know . when i shut off the water valve for a few minutes it came back on why would it do that this is my first home so im new to all this please help



the fill valve has debris in it. just put in a new fill valve assembly.




It almost seems like you have 2 different issues here.





First, if the water is running in the toilet but the tank is not filling, the likely culprit would be the flap at the bottom of the tank. It's not unusual for these to get stuck open. Just jiggle the handle, it should settle in the closed position.





If the water is not running at all, you have an obvious plumbing problem. It could be a faulty shut off valve or something could be stuck in the water hose from the valve to the toilet tank. Try replacing the hose or even the valve itself and see if that resolves your problem. Are you having any other problem with plumbing in the rest of the house?
