My loo has stopped flushing

Was working fine then stopped

Pushed the big button nothing

Then topped it up with water and it did a little flush

And nothing been through the fuses in the wardrobe

The water pump is working to the taps but not pumping sound from loo

The big button also feels 'soft' as if it's not doing anything

Any suggestions my first thought is a box of matches but don't want scorching on the grass

There is a fuse right up inside the cassette compartment (on ours). I have never been able to reach it even with my long arms so we live without a flush. Use a squirty bottle with pink in and, when necessary, the shower does a brilliant job.

Could be the solenoid sticking they often get gummed up with calcium from hard water. Inside the hatch its up at the top 2 water pipes going to it & two wires.

So you're not feeling flushed this morning...?

I've gone back to basics so ca as always follow your lead/advice. I could not fund the locker fuse I'll have a look thankyou.

Cheers lenny i think it could be a driveway job. I'm going to look for the locker fuse first
After a cup of tea

When I did the cassette at home the slider seemed jammed but as soon as I put it back no problem thought the 2 maybe related.

Seems to be 1 little niggle after another this year ....maybe it's time for a change

Just looked at prices no its not

If the big button is feeling 'soft' the PCB board with the actual button on it may have come unclipped and just need clipping back in.

Go on treat yourself

If you feel the solenoid while press in the flush very long arms or a friend may help, you should feel the solenoid operate if it does it may be just blocked up otherwise a new solenoid assuming you have power to it.
If it does work take the solenoid out soak the part that the water flows through in hot white vinegar it may clear it. Don't get the coil wet.

UPDATE

Well I've fixed it . It was easy it did the quick whish flush and stopped as it did previously.

So I did what all clever people who repair things do and gave it a whack.

So far so good
Will give the gubbins a clean though at some stage.........

Just been referred to this thread after putting on a post earlier.

I have a similar problem. Pump is engaging in water tank when I press flush but no water in toilet bowl. Just watched a YouTube video and it required taking the bowl off to get to the solenoid valve which looks fiddly. Yet posts on here suggest it is just inside the hatch which sounds easier. I’ll have a look.

Found solenoid. I presume there should be 12v to it when flush is pushed? Getting nothing

Yep that's right, so it's either a fuse or switch that's faulty. Sometimes there is a 3 amp blade fuse in there at the top of the compartment.

I will have a look tomorrow although I didn’t see a fuse in the compartment. Thanks

All solved. There was a switch in the bathroom that my wife pointed out!

There is a separate pump in the flush system that seizes up take it out and with a small screwdriver move the impeller at the bottom and it will work again ,my one dried up after draining it for the winter and that is what I done,works fine now.

I would draw the line at using the shower as a toilet

Stupid boy.

You’re right. I had a multimeter and alll wires from solenoid pulled out getting zero when she said what does this switch do and I got 12 volts!

Interrogation required - who is owning up to turning the switch off
