I have a 2019 Swift Elegance 645 fitted with the Thetford C262 CWE toilet and the flush suddenly stopped working whilst away.
I checked the pump and it was seized and managed to free the impeller with a screwdriver . After putting the pump back in , it still wouldn’t work so bought a new pcb board that goes on top of the flush unit from a local caravan shop and for good measure bough a new reed board and replaced that in the cover behind the cassette .They hadn’t got a new pump , so will have to wait until I get home to replace that too. Here’s the problem though, I am not now convinced that replacing the pump will cure the problem, as I filled the cassette with water and the red light didn’t come on? My thoughts are that even if the pump wasn’t working , the fact I replaced both boards for new ones surely the red light would still come on ?
The fuse on the main PSU must be working as it says it shares the fuse with appliances / hob ignition .
The hob spark is working , so it can’t be the fuse in the PSU?
I can only assume there must be an inline fuse somewhere, but many people on various posts have asked in the past but seems have never had a conclusive answer?
Many have said it’s at the back of the cassette box, but that’s on the C250 model , some have said it could be under the switch panel on top of the toilet , but it’s not there either , does anyone know where the inline fuse would be on the C262cwe toilet as I’m now convinced there is no power going to the toilet ?
Thanks .
Sorry I cannot help with the power side of things. However you do say that you have free'd the impeller..
I have to free mine very often after its been stood, only after a few weeks to be honest. What I have discovered is that the Impeller has to be really free spooling. I made the mistake of watching this video and assuming when loose it was ok.

It took several attempts with the screwdriver to get it really free spooling. However never fails, worth a check!
Best of luck.
When my pump seized, I put mine into boiling water for a little time periodically pressing the flush and after about 5 minutes it freed up, I did this 2/3 times just to be sure before putting it back, I also cleaned a lot of the gunk inside of the flush tank as best I could through the hole where the pump fits, replaced the fuse in the cassette housing and all was fixed
If it still doesn’t work after replacing the pump , I still can’t find the where there is an inline fuse on the C262CWE model?
On the C250 model it’s at the back of the toilet cassette compartment, but not on the C262CWE model ?
Have you asked at the Sevice Dept. of your nearest Swift dealer?
Or any Swift dealer come to that.
------------- XVI yes?
As well is two words!
