Toilet lights!

[acropolis22]

We have a Dometic CT4110 cassette. In the bathroom, integrated into the flush button panel, there are some lights that are supposed to illuminate when the cassette is, I think, 50% and 75% full. They don't. Initially, I diagnosed this as a broken float arm when I found the float arm had snapped off and was rattling around in the bottom of the cassette. The float arm has been replaced by the dealer under warranty, (used Pilote G650 2017 model).

The lights still don't work. Any ideas or experience of this? I read somewhere that the float arm contains a magnet that doesn't work if installed upside down. Or is there an electrical fault in the panel?

No, it has to be looked at again by the dealer. (Waiting to receive spares for something else before it goes in. The wheels grind slowly.) It did occur to me that maybe we were being impatient, but it seems pretty heavy when I slide out the cassette, and there is a half full warning light too. This has never come on.

Ours was the 75% light. Just a thought, have you filled up the cassette, in site, with water, to see if light comes on. As I said, ours was much fuller than normal, and we thought ours was fairly full when we normally emptied it, but we now know not.

It isn't full until the closing slide skims the surface of the contents as it closes.

Yeah, did that.
