side entry toilet fill valve

Side entry toilet fill valve making a hissing air sound and water dripping slowly into cistern and once over a certain level, dripping into toilet bowl.
Will cleaning the filters on the fill valve resolve the issue/best to get a new fill valve/could it be something else.

Answers

Inspect the diaphragm after remove the fill valve and examine the diaphragm for any damage or misalignment. If the diaphragm is torn or worn, replace it with a new one.

Could need a clean, sediment or something stoping the flush valve fully closing, incorrect max fill setting, could be a faulty seal/washer/gasket or just generally broken.

Best to just replace for the sake of £10/20 and have peace of mind than waste yoir time fault finding if its not an easy find.

Hope that helps.
