I have a Thetford cassette C2/C4 toilet fitted in my van. On my last visit the toilet refused to flush( we ended up flushing it manually with the shower)
I looked at the trouble shooting page in the Thetford manual and it suggested replacing the fuse which i have done but it hasn't fixed the problem.
When you turn the flush control knob it doesn't make a sound just nothing at all.

Can anyone advise on what the problem could be please
Thanks

Is there power to the fuse? If so either the switch isn't working or your pump is US

your gonna need a meter, check at the switch on the toilet if you can expose the wires. Is the fuse for the circuit that the toilet is on Ok. I assume the fuse you changed is an inline for the toilet. Maybe the fuse for that circuit is gone.

Hi if any of the above dont work i had the same problem and i had to take the toilet out.Under the toilet where the toilet connects to the caravan electrics there is a push fit connector .Mine had corroded  so i replaced the push fit and hey presto worked perfect but try the other options first.

In the meantime you can use a washing up bottle to flush it manually , just wash the bottle out fill it with pink then when you have used the toilet just squeeze the bottle round the bowl , good luck with the repair .
