Bounder: Ugh now my vaccuflush wont pump

[Brandonrv]

Can't catch a break with this thing.

Anyone have any troubleshooting advice? The switch is on and the vacuflush light is red showing that it's not ready i guess.

It's not pumping at all just does nothing.

Red means tank is full

On my 2014 Southwind the light stays red until pressure builds up then it turns green

Back in December my pump stopped working and the red light was on. The pump was broken and had to be replaced under extended warranty policy. It looks like you have a rather new unit. I would take my rig to a dealer while still under warranty.

The red light normally means the system does not have a vacuum and therefor the toilet will not flush.

hnmmm i didn't think about this. I didn't get to dump the tanks last time because my slide out motor thing broke and i had to get a tech out to jump it and took it straight to the dealer.

So very possibly my tanks are full lol.

Problem is no place to dump right this second I just finally got it home and was going through it.


Thanks for that. Hopefully solves my problem and certainly makes me less frustrated if it does.

thanks. Do you think the red light would be on if the fuse was burnt out? They were doing electrical work for this slide motor problem. Wonder if they potentially tripped the fuse somehow.

I'm not sure about the light being on with a blown fuse. I've never been brave enough to let the tank be totally full with this vacuflush system.

I have a 2014 Fleetwood Excursion and on our trip last week the first use of the toilet did not seem to activate the vacuflush system. I suspect my setup is very similar to yours. It seemed to work fine after that so I have not looked into it any further.

If your black tank gauge says full that's the problem if not don't know.

On mine when the red light is on I have to hold the button a few seconds and it will flush. I just don't know how many times I can flush it when full and what will happen when I push it once too often.

Brandon--have you tried pressing the breaker reset button? See this thread for more... http://www.irv2.com/forums/f107/35k-...on-152621.html
