Question:

How do you stop a leak in a joint of the piping leading to the handle of a tankless toilet handle?

The whole flushing mechanism and piping was replaced less than a month ago, by a plumber (supposedly), now the toilet isn't flushing as well, and there is a leak at one of the joints of piping going up to the handle. I do not want to have to call my landlord again. Is it possibly a simple fix of loosening the joint and adding plumbers tape/putty and re-tightening the joint?

Answer:

Could be the tubing connecting the dryer the the wall is jammed up
the electric coil is burned out or your lint catcher is clogged . time for a new dryer
does the drum rotate? ok does the burner light the flame (if gas) or does elec. work? ok is the exhaust piping connected to the dryer so hot air can exit?ok could it be the FAN?
Increasing the diameter of the conductor decreases its resistance.
The drier has a number of safety devices built into it to prevent the possibility of fire. Air flow sensor, if there is inadequate air flow, will not permit the heater to turn on. heat sensor, if the temperate got too hot will trip a switch and prevent the heater from coming on. Some have thermal fuses, if it got too hot would cause the fuse to blow open, ( fuses are inexpensive but require a person qualified to perform the repair) Finally the element could have blow open, but not very likely, as the safety devices would have kicked in first. Most Dryers require 220 volts and come off a fuse panel with two breakers. 220 Volts for the heater, but the blower or fan needs only 110 volts, so only one breaker or fuse may have popped. Check them also, turn them off and on Dryers require maintenance. Clean the lint out of the exhaust port outside, there is a grill to prevent small animals from entering and can cause a build up of lint. The duct should be inspected and cleaned if required. The lint in this duct is very dry and an excellent source for fire.
