Thanks for any suggestions.
If the toilet water does not fill while the tank is filling, the 6" plastic hose from the top of the fill valve to the overflow tube is not in place. This plastic hose is clipped to the inside of the overflow tube, and if it comes loose, the hose sprays water into the tank rather than into the toilet. It happens more today because the new "clips" today are plastic rather than metal.
