Toilet Issue

[Hils and Glenns]

Our cassette is stuck and we can't get it out. Any ideas what to do? Its a Hymer B674.

Sell the van!

Is the blade fully closed? Nothing jamming it? Open/close a few times.

Tried that. Something is jamming it but I don't think its the blade.

F you cannot “jiggle” it free or cannot get anything in through the bowl to force the blade you may have to brute force the cassette out. Not a great thing to happen

Silly question probably have you pushed or lifted the release tab fully
What toilet do you have

 

[Bramidan]

Look I know nothing but it sounds as if something is jamming.
We know you can’t remove the cassette if the blade is open so that seems the logical place to start.
It seems a mechanical fault, I don’t think there is any electrical contacts stopping it?
Hand down the bowl with the blade open methinks!

 

[The Coops]

Is the toilet flap opening fully with the handle or is it jamming stopping the removal of the cassette?

 

[Ditcha]

There's not a big log stopping it from coming out is there?

 

[Hils and Glenns]

The blade inside the toilet is opening and closing ok. We think its the grey cover on the actual cassette that has gone awry and maybe something else. Not loving the idea of hand down the toilet as while it isn't full there are some contents.

What would we be looking for down the bowl? It would have to be my hand as Glenn's is too big.
It looks like the grey slidey thing on top of the cassette has got knocked out of position so I don't think putting my hand down the bowl will help or will it?

No tame grandkids about?

No. Not tried mine yet but there's no point if I don't know what I'm looking for. I want to leave it for now and deal with it when we get back from Wells but ............

Don't think so. Fortunately its not very full.

 

[Hezbez]

Hope you've got some latex gloves! Good luck.

Try pushing the cassette back in, might not be properly seated

Fixed! Thanks everyone. It was the orange knob ( don't say anything) on the cassette that was out of line and Glenn managed to nudge it with a long screwdriver.

It’s not the blade itself that stops the cassette moving.
Rather, when you close the blade, that action rotates a rectangular knob on the top of the cassette. When sitting “sideways” that stops the cassette sliding out. When sitting “front to back” it lets the cassette slide.
You won’t get to that knob from inside the cassette, but you may be able to see it along the top of the cassette.

Edit: I see you sorted it - that’s great!

Always worth having a long bit of tube in order to syphon it out to save your hands getting dirty, just in case

That was it exactly.

Every day a school day, something else I’ve learnt.

Diesels bad enough if one's sucks too hard but......
