2004 model fitted with a C3 Thetford Cassette

3amp (I think) purple push in blade type automotive fuse inside cassette cavity blown; replaced but failed again,
possibly when flush is pressed

Any ideas anyone?

Hi there,

Three possibilities are:

1.  Short blowing fuse due to bare wire, loose wire or wet switch.

2.  Seized pump blowing fuse due to overload.

3.  Under-rated fuse replacement.  (Not likely.)

Sure there are many others but these are the ones I would check first.

Hope this helps.  allthumbz

If you use (or have used) flush water additive, have left water in the tank and have not used the flush for 4+ weeks then it is likely the pump is stuck. If you move the impeller to loosen it up with a small screwdriver that will often get it working again. This is a very common problem.

It could of course be a seized pump or faulty wiring.

Thanks for letting us know that the problem is solved; but for future reference, what was the problem with the pump?  think_smiley_46
