Also it is harder to trip the lever when it has twisted to the left side. Do I need to replace the whole canister? Or is there an easy fix.
Thanks in advance for any help with this.
I had same problem with one of mine. I changed seal with no help and ended up shorting chain. I do believe the poster who explained the water swirling out of tank twisted the cylinder as I remember holding lever down until tank was empty helping it.
