Default Thetford Electra Magic Pump Problem

Just want some feedback and/or advice on this. A couple of weeks ago I found out the pump/motor assembly for the Thetford Electra Magic toilet in our 3124 was all corroded. It was only 16 months old but was out of warranty (Thetford says one year). A new one is about $250. Anywhere to get a working used one?

Thanks,

Dave

If the motor is corroded, that usually means it got wet. Any idea how that happened? It is well above the level that liquid could ever reach in the toilet. Did someone get carried away with cleaning the outside of the toilet, and flood the inside of that hood with something corrosive like bleach or vinegar? You wouldn't want it to happen again.

I don't know where you are located, but in many cities you can find an RV salvage place. And you have already discovered the Parts For Sale forum on this board. Between them, you should find what you need.

Bill-

It looks like a "electrolysis" problem as it is only 16 months old and only used a handful of times. I think I've found a used one but they are difficult to locate unless new!
