Hi all,
    My Thetford C250 toilet flush was working fine but has just stopped, I have checked the fuse which is ok.
Does this type of toilet has its own pump somewhere or does it run off the main pump?
All advise is welcome

It does have it's own pump and is fairly reliable if properly drained for winter, (there is a mod kit for that) What is increasingly becoming a problem is that the blue membrane over the switch leaks and the water ingress corrodes the electrics so worth a look. It just peels off at the edges. The pump is tucked up the right-hand side, you can see it from the cassette door.

Sometimes the 3amp fuse doesn't blow but does get slightly corroded so I would try that first before taking pump out. If the lights are dimming when depressing flush button then the pump has seized but as above, the flush button is prone to corrosion.

Hi all,
    I just wanted to say thanks, the fault was the connection on the board, I have cleaned it up and its working fine.
Thank you all for your assistance
