CarlSurgey Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 The cassette full light on my 2002 Amaras toilet was not working. No surprise as the battery box had corroded and fallen off. So time to replace it and at the same time fix the lever that opens the blade to the cassette. http://i38. photobucket. com/albums/e140/carlsurgey/ThetfordC-200CW29. jpg Drain the flush tank here. http://i38. photobucket. com/albums/e140/carlsurgey/ThetfordC-200CW28. jpg Undo these 4 screws, http://i38. photobucket. com/albums/e140/carlsurgey/ThetfordC-200CW25. jpg Unscrew this one http://i38. photobucket. com/albums/e140/carlsurgey/ThetfordC-200CW26. jpg Remove the plastic shield at each side http://i38. photobucket. com/albums/e140/carlsurgey/ThetfordC-200CW27. jpg Remove these 2 screws. Thats it the toilet should come away from the wall. Now to disassemble the toilet. Start by removing the flush pump. Remove the 2 screws under the flush handle. http://i38. photobucket. com/albums/e140/carlsurgey/ThetfordC-200CW21. jpg Carefully pry the plastic up and remove the 4 screws holding the flush pump in place, http://i38. photobucket. com/albums/e140/carlsurgey/ThetfordC-200CW20. jpg Remove carefully a little gentle persuasion should do it. Pull free the hose. http://i38. photobucket. com/albums/e140/carlsurgey/ThetfordC-200CW13. jpg http://i38. photobucket. com/albums/e140/carlsurgey/ThetfordC-200CW14. jpg Remove all the screws holding the flush tank to the bowl. http://i38. photobucket. com/albums/e140/carlsurgey/ThetfordC-200CW12. jpg Remove all the screws holding the strengthening bracket. http://i38. photobucket. com/albums/e140/carlsurgey/ThetfordC-200CW11. jpg http://i38. photobucket. com/albums/e140/carlsurgey/ThetfordC-200CW6. jpg I removed the old wiring loom, light and sensor and replace http://i38. photobucket. com/albums/e140/carlsurgey/ThetfordC-200CW10. jpg http://i38. photobucket. com/albums/e140/carlsurgey/ThetfordC-200CW8. jpg http://i38. photobucket. com/albums/e140/carlsurgey/ThetfordC-200CW12. jpg http://i38. photobucket. com/albums/e140/carlsurgey/ThetfordC-200CW12. jpg http://i38. photobucket. com/albums/e140/carlsurgey/ThetfordC-200CW16. jpg http://i38. photobucket. com/albums/e140/carlsurgey/ThetfordC-200CW18. jpg http://i38. photobucket. com/albums/e140/carlsurgey/ThetfordC-200CW19. jpg I thought I had lost the small lens that fits here, its small and easy to misplace. I couldn't find a safe place for the battery box, so quick bit of double sided tape later and it's safely tucked out of the way. http://i38. photobucket. com/albums/e140/carlsurgey/ThetfordC-200CW30. jpg The lever that operates the blade had simply lost a screw that held its pivot in place, simply replaced. Its the hole near the short metal rod in the picture. http://i38. photobucket. com/albums/e140/carlsurgey/ThetfordC-200CW5. jpg Reverse the procedure to put the toilet back together and re fit in the van. Job done. Quote If life was easy you'd never learn anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Do you have to remove the entire toilet to replace the tank full,light ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlSurgey Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 I can't see how it can be done any other way because of the way the cable is routed. Truth be told its probably a lot easier and less frustrating to remove the toilet and it's not a hard job either.

AnnetteElizabeth Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Hi I'm not sure if you are talking about what I needed to know. In the compartment where my toilet cassette is there is a small electrical device with batteries in it, I put new batteries in but have no idea what it's for? Is it what u have been saying here? Thx Annette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlSurgey Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Yes thats it. The batteries are for the small light on your toilet that lets you know when the tank is full. It works by a float pushing up on top of the tank and a magnet inside the float reacts with a magnet in the reed switch (small plastic looking thing on the left of the compartment) this closes a switch and activates the light.
