I asked what if the part he installed is fucked, do I get the labor waived on reinstalling it? Answer: NO.

So I go online to the company that made the part and they have a PDF file on the complete taredown and shit for their parts. Turns out the plumber shoved a washer into a slot with a screw driver and tore it. The torn piece covered the tube and thus no water flow.

Checking my garage I find a sutable washer and replace the torn one.

Cost: $free...

And now that I know how my toilet works, never again will I hire a plumber for it.
