Thetford C403 bit fallen off (1 Viewer)

[MillieMoocher]

Not having a great weekend, having had fridge problems (now resolved).

When emptying the holding tank for the cassette toilet today, there was an odd rattling noise from within (the tank, not me)

After I'd flushed the tank out with clean water, I put my hand/arm in through the big hole, vet style, (aarrrgh) and pulled out the white plastic/nylon item shown in pictures below.

I've looked on line and can't see it listed as a spare, and toilet seems to work without it. But I can't see Thetford adding a bit of plastic just for fun, so guess it must do something..

Anyone out there know where it has come from, what it does etc?

The item is around 4 inches long and looks like it should push back into somewhere...

Is it the shaft? see ----http://www.bradtech.ltd.uk/products/Thetford_Cassette_C400_Spares.html

Might I respectfully suggest you pay more attention to what you eat in the future ! ?

That bit does not seem to be part of the system but must have come from somewhere !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I disassembled mine to put a new hatch in it and didn't see that bit anywhere?

I have pictures on my blog of what they should look like..

The shaft looks nothing like that and it is in the side of the toilet below the handle not in the cassette itself.
I had to replace mine and it was a nice easy job...
Got more pictures of my replacing this one here.

The nearest part I could see was the wheel support bracket?

I think this is what it actually is looking at it again...

@Gromett , great answer, that's exactly what it is!

Thanks to @Stealaway , @tonyidle and @Jaws for investigations and looking too.

As its a wheel support thingy I'll deal with it next time it's empty, probably wait unti we get home as it'll probably be easier to deal with in the comfort of a garage than next to black water disposal point

To be honest I didn’t bother, it’s never caused a problem!

Have to say I’d also decided that as long as the cassette was “water” tight, I’d carry it if there was a problem with the wheels..
