trying my pathfinder before first outing,have just tried to flush it,it was working last year on last outing,but i just cant get the thing to flush.Have checked the fuses,which are ok,pulled the cassette out everything looks ok in there.put more water in,just in case it needed water to flush,

any ideas on what to look for now please

It would appear that there is a fuse within the toilet itself according to this page. Have you checked this one?

Or, it could be the Electric Valve Assembly also on that page.

I had an issue with my flush a couple of seasons ago.

Mine kept blowing fuses though. The only fuse I know of is located where the toilet cassette is located, at the right hand side (item 19 on the drawing LobeyDosser supplied).

I finally traced the fault to a seized water pump impeller. I had not flushed the pink water out enough after the last use before I stored it. Over the winter, the "pink stuff" had gone hard.This seems to be a common fault. I cleaned the impeller and got it  moving, but it was not very smooth so  I changed the pump for a new one, everything ok.

Check your pump , its easy to do. will try to dig out some instructions of how to remove the pump if you need them. It realy is a 10 minute job.

Are you getting power as far as the fuse in the toilet?

We also found that the Pink Stuff gummed up the works and now use Top & Tail as this does not affect moving parts in the flush system.

Sorry if I am going to state the obvious on how to find , download and open all the repair instructions to all the thetford toilets, but I want to make it simple for any reader to do it .

 Here is a link to the thetfords site.

the link for the toilets is

http://www.thetford-europe.com/en/products/toilets/cassette-toilets/c400.aspx

Click on service (which is under the picture of the toilet in grey ((next to General information in blue box)) , it will change to blue when your mouse arrow goes over it ), Then click on PDF repair instructions ( in blue writing). Open the file or save to pc..

On the left hand side there is a list of toilets ie. c2,3,4 or C200, c250 c400 etc.

Double Click on the one you have, this will then open another list with detail on how to repair/ remove components .

Scroll down to pumps and then click on that. Nice pictures come up of how to do it.

Hope this helps you out, sorry if I went to basic/obvious on how to find things on the site, just trying to make it simple for all reader.

It is a simple job to do, much easier to do than the pictures may make out.

Any other questions please ask.

thanks all,have sorted it

if i had a brain i would be dangerous.talked to the guy in local shop,he gave me a copy of parts from book.took pump out from under loo roll holder.by chance we had left it empty after last use last year.pump was clear.I HAD TRIED TO MAKE IT WORK ON ELECTRIC ONLY.HADN'T CONNECTED BATTERY,durgggg.so now it works.at least i know what to do now,and everything is clean,lol.

my next problem,see new thread

Glad you got it sorted.

Did not think about the battery,  lmao.

Adrianaxle....lol....!

I was just going down this thread laughing my socks off, but you seem to have come to the same conclusion as I did after pulling fuses etc etc.....only to find I had done exactly as you had ....battery oh yeah!!!!  

 We are a pair of muppets I'd say.

Tell you what though, what isnt funny is putting the cassette in back to frontand ripping out the fuse and holder.

It is a bar steward to get the mechansim out to repair and the cables that go to it are not very lengthy and a bugger of a job.

I still don't laugh about that one!
