russco32 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Can someone tell me how to replace the Flush Motor on a 402 system? I've got the motor hanging out (which is siezed) and I presume the wiring comes attached to the new motor. How do I get to the back of the switch to detach the old cable and attach the new?

Ninian Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Hi, Would it not just be simpler to cut the existing wiring at the motor and re-join the new pump without any more dismantling of the toilet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russco32 Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 I could, but it's not a great idea as the wiring is either under water or very close to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithl Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 It seems Ninian is correct in that you have to cut and rejoin the wires. There are instructions on the Leisure Shop Direct website here... Link that in my quick reading says the same thing. Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyhb Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 If you use Adhesive lined heat shrink sleeving the connection will be watertight. To shrink it you can use a hot air heat gun / paint stripper or a good hair drier will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 For the record, Thetford's website has a wide range of downloadable files relating to their products. http://www.thetford-europe.com/service/downloads/ These files relate to C400 toilets http://www.thetford-europe.com/download-product/c400/ and the "Sanitation Repair Instructions" file will include the C402 water-pump replacement extract that's on the Leisure Shop Direct website, plus a whole lot more useful advice.

russco32 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Ok. Thanks guys. I'm a retired auto-electrician, so won't have any difficulty cutting and joining. I was concerned about the water, but, the shrink wrap and probably some silicon should be ok. Appreciate all the help. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
