Hi I have a Abbey Freestyle 2 berth, with electric flush toilet, but when I got the van out this week, the flush
did not work, checked it all out and found that the fuse had blown, replaced the fuse, but still not working, any one any suggestions to what the problem is, I have looked all round the Thetford toilet, but cant find any way into the system, to check out its workings etc.
any help most appreciated.

Was it the inline fuse that you changed or is there another one in the fusebox as well ?

Greetings,
If you CAREFULLY peel away the place where you press for flush you will find that you have access to the workings. The plate is designed to be stuck but removable and replaceable without further adhesive.

many thanks for the answers to my problem,with regards can I get to it from the outsdide, I have removed the cassette, nearly stood on my head and can see no way into the the flush part at all,
with rards was it in line fuse, I have checked the fuse box and everywhere else, but could only find a 3 amp fuse, fitted in theoutside box below the flush system,many thanks for the web page for Thetford, a great help trying to identify the model in my caravan, so thats a start.
andto emmitbd with suggestions how to get into the system, Iwill nip over to wher my caravan is being stored and see if I can gain axcess through the panel as suggested
a big thankyou to all dfor the help offered I am sure from the replies received, that I will hopefully resolve the problem and the ear bashing will ease up.
thanks again

usually means the pump has siezed if the fuse blows.this happens when the van is not used for some time.try a strong solution of milton and water in the header tank overnight to see if will free off the pump.

the only silly question is the one you do not ask.

I had the same problem a couple of years ago after a winter lay-up. It was the pump which had seized and needed replacement.
My service dealer did the the job - so I cannot offer any help on pump access.
