Thetford Waste Ball Drive Arm Broken

Recommended Posts

Greetings,

 

The Waste Ball Drive Arm (part# 42048) on my Thetford Aqua Magic Style II has snapped off.

 

The instructions state that I have to remove the toilet to replace the waste ball drive arm.

It looks to me that I could possibly unscrew the Waste Ball Drive Arm and replace it with a new one without removing the toilet. If anyone has done this job, is it possible to replace without removing the toilet.

 

(The link above reads “pedal cable” replacement but that description is incorrect.)

The Thetford manual has no idea how and where your RV manufacturer installed and placed you toilet so if you can get to the assembly needing repairs go for it.  From my Thetford repair experiences (and there were many) the best repair is to replace it with a Seeland (now Dometic) model 320.         Greg

Glenn, I'm not sure if you are referring to the Dometic 320 but our foot pedal works the same as the old Thetford we had; half way down opens the water valve and all the way down flushes the toilet.      Greg
