Why does the toilet bowl fill but the tank does not?
This could happen if there is a problem with the refill valve in the tank or a blockage in the water supply line. When the toilet is flushed, water flows from the tank to the bowl and then refills from the tank. If the tank is not refilling, it can cause the bowl to fill up but not the tank. You may need to check and replace the refill valve or clear any blockages in the water supply line to fix the issue.
