Sanicompact not flushing properly or filling bowl with water

[Mr Bigg]

Hi, I've got a sanicompact downstairs which has been working fine for 6 years. In the last day or so I've noticed that the toilet isn't flushing properly and subsequently not filling the bowl back up with enough water. The water that does come in comes in very slowly and it makes a sort of hissing noise. Any ideas please?

Update, I found instructions and I think the problem is a clogged solenoid valve filter. Does anyone know how to access and clean it? Is it something a non plumber could tackle?

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Where would you recommend buying this? . It looks like I require Part no 28.

Seem to remember the filter is part of the valve not a seperate item. Are the holes around the rim clear?

Disconnect power at wall and remove cables, disconnect water, drain bowl, remove pan to floor screws and flip pan upside down. Check filter. Remove pump/motor box, remove end cover if you have too.

Opps slight change, you dont remove end cover, you split the central covers to get to the valve.
