THETFORD CASSETTE CARAVAN TOILET NOT FLUSHING

Спорт

THANKS FOR LOOKING AT THE VIDEO!
A very quick, hastily thrown together video of how I got my thetford cassette toilet to flush again. Basically when pressing the blue button, nothing happens.
So try getting to the flush pump and free the impeller and replace the 3amp fuse.
The only difficulty I had was getting at the pump. So don't pull on the thin white electrical wire, instead grab the thick water flush hose that goes from pump to toilet and bring the pump up with that.
When finished replace and check.

    Just wanted to say Thank You from Sydney Australia. After fiddling around with the circuit board and cleaning the connections it still wouldn’t work. Followed your instructions, cleared the pump..... wouldn’t work..... replaced the fuse (which I would never have thought of), and bingo, it works!! The instructions for getting the pump out were also really helpful. Without this video I would have spent hundreds of dollars replacing parts. THANK YOU 🙏

    Thanks Nick - I just bought a second hand caravan with this problem and managed to fix this using your video. It took me many unsuccessful attempts trying to get the pump out using the electrical cable attached, and ended up instead using the thick flush outlet hose successfully. For anyone else struggling, I reaching in as best I could to grab the hose high up on the toilet side of the hole, and dragged the pump up by pulling the hose towards the back wall of the toilet. Hope this helps anyone else, and thanks again Nick.

    Loo seized up last week whilst we were away. Came home expecting to have to call out an engineer but watching this video saved us time and money. Think it was just the fuse blown (90p for a replacement) but we took the pump out and gave everywhere a good clean - surprising how much black gunk there was lurking around. Anyway, all squeaky clean and working as it should. Great video, thanks very much Nick.

    I was delighted to be able to fix the problem with the help of your excellent video. My pump was seized, it took a bit of freeing. Getting it out was hard but getting it in harder. The trick is to get your head round how the water pipe has to run to enable the pump to drop in. You need a smallish hand to do it!

    Thank you very much for your video! I had the same issue in my caravan after not being used for a while and following your demo I was able to locate the impellor. Sure enough it had seized - I thought it was done for but after turning it in both directions for a good 15 minutes or so, gradually it came free and is now working as it should. Saved me a lot of time and money (in getting a professional to look at it).. Cheers!

Thought someone may have borrowed it, so bought some new 3A fuses, put it in and then nothing, Almost bought new pump, then saw your video, thought I'd moved it round a bit then hey presto it worked. Took the fuse out again and still works, very strange! Thanks again.

I found loads of gunk in the tank as it has not been possible to flush the campervan toilet for months. I turned the impellor blade several times, as suggested and loads of gunk came out. Hooked it all out with a small screwdriver. Completely flushed the system and drained it down, pump works again and issue fixed. Thanks!
