I have a 2010 lunar ultima/quaser 546 fitted with a thetford 250 electric flush toilet which has just stopped working, my hubby has checked the fuses and they are ok, it seems to be getting power to it as the lights dim when the flush switch is pressed so my hubby thinks it may be the pump but is having trouble locating it so we would be grateful if anyone could tell us where it is located and if its easy to swap. Incidently it had a new reed switch fitted on the last service and it worked when we went away but hasnt worked on the second time out since service.

Hi Bev and welcome to the forum. The 250 does seem to have a few recurring problems with the flush pump, looking from the outside it is housed up the right hand side above the door, just follow the pipework. Unclip the central pipe and see if it will turn with a screwdriver or similar.

Thanks for your replies he mended it by taking pump out and unjamming it with a screwdriver works fine now. Incidentaly
he says it was blocked up with a lot of black stuff, and we used to travel with some pink in tank which they tell you not to do so we wont any more.

Glad its sorted Bev, well done to your OH,  

I think it's usually the Thetford pink stuff that can leave black bits in the tank so worth trying another make.
