Hi everyone,

Have just taken the caravan out of winter storage and whilst checking everything over discovered that the thetford cassette toilet is not flushing, changed the fuse but still no joy, any suggestions?

Hi Kath

I had exactly the same problem

There's either (if you're lucky) a loose switch in the little cubby where the waste tank goes...have a look and you'll see easily if it's loose.

Otherwise the pump simply corrodes, as the chemical you put in the water eventually "rots" the pump. That's what we had.....new pump off e-bay! it goes under the place where the toilet roll holder sits, RHS of seat as you face the loo

Hope this helps

Had this on Avondale last season. Impeller in pump had self-destructed. Repair kit relatively cheap and easily fitted- but make sure you have proper wire-re-connection fittings and tools available, and shrink-fit insulation for your re-made connections: it's wet down there! New one woks fine.

Hi Kath,  Had this problem on my beloved Buccaneer, before you start taking pump's out try pulling the casette out about 9 inches or so & then push it back quite firmly i don't know if this will work for you (it did for me ) anyway it won't cost you anything so it's worth a try, here's hoping!!!

Hi Kath I had the same problem last year, the fuse had blown & after changeing it the toilet would still not flush untill my grandson pressed the flush button half  a dozen times one after another which must have freed it off maybe worth a try
