lever flap to dometic 3110 cassette toilet
Permalink  

Good morning members,

I hope that you are all high and dry.

I am attempting to fit the black plastic lever flap part no. 2426014508 to the orange flap in our cassette toilet housing.

Do I have to  remove the front panel that is secured with Allan head screws to the housing ?

Any advice would be most helpfull.

Many thanks,Neil.

Many thanks Michael,

Had searched YouTube but could not find anything relating to the black flap actuating lever.

Must have another look.

Best, Neil.

Gday Radar,

The flap lever is within the cassette housing on the truck.

Nothing to do with the cassette itself.

Best, Neil.

 Is that the lever to open the flap to the cassette?

Yes it is Radar,

It is a black plastic arm with cutouts, one end has a circular hole which locates to a pin (I presume) in the cassette housing roof area and the other end has a enclosed slot which engages with the orange coloured flap which covers the aperture where the slide handle is.

Cheers, Neil.

 Your timing not good, as soon as the rain abates I will go and have a bow peep.

I have had some experience with the cassette falling apart and rebuilding that section.

Interesting.

Cheers Neil.

 I was hoping someone else might come with something. 

The internet has not giving any real clues, my thoughts take your time pulling the thing apart slowly.

Looking at mine I can not give you any clues.

I can't help, but the part (LEVER FLAP CTS3110, p/n 2426014508) is item #65 on page 3 of the following document:

I have found in the past that Mr Google can point to some interesting/helpful U-Tube videos regarding toilet operation and cassettes - try asking open questions without being specific, such as "How does cassette toilet work?" www.bing.com/videos/search

 I thought the exploded diagram might help others to help you. That's the only reason I posted.

Thank you Dorian,
Parts 64 and 70 on the exploded view are not described but they are shown in relation to the housing but fairly difficult to see where they go.

I had a good long look at it, did not see much.

My conclusion is to pull the whole unit out and put it apart.

Hope someone gets a better clue.

Thank you so much Jeepnudger, a very simple solution and why did I not think of it myself?

Their technical department, right on the ball, said that the pin securing the end of the lever with the round hole to the cassette housing is spring loaded and can be pushed back to allow the lever to be installed.

Too easy when explained by a very helpful tech.

Many thanks to all who have replied to this query. the answer is simple like all when you have the knowledge.

The answer is in my reply to Jeepnudger.

The round end of the lever with the axel in it sits in a moon shaped cup in the upper slide section, you have to push the lever up and forward a little to

disengage it from this cup then join up the orange flap to the slotted end of the lever and relocate the round end in the cup.

Thanks again, Neil Creswell.

Hi Neil I also need to replace the lever but can't work out how to remove the old one! confuse20220929_141615.jpg Is it possible to compress the spring loaded retaining pin with the old lever in place? Dometic in the UK have not responded! Thanks, Bob

Bob, welcome to GN's.
You have responded to an older post (March 2021).

I copied and advise my previous post in this thread ; "I have found in the past that Mr Google can point to some interesting/helpful U-Tube videos regarding toilet operation and cassettes - try asking open questions without being specific, such as "How does cassette toilet work?" www.bing.com/videos/search "

I have found that Thetford are not very helpful with queries - I think they wish that their dealers attend to any necessary repairs. Although I have found that ordering parts on-line from UK the goods arrived in less than quoted two weeks. But, parts come without fitting directions or helpful pictorial advice. Again Mr Google is your friend.

Thanks Possum - I appreciate this is an old thread but its the only useful link that Mssrs Google, Webcrawler and Bing can offer! Nothing on YouTube I can find either. I am off to the UK Motorhome show next weekend where I shall buttonhole the rep on the Dometic trade stand and see what advice (if any) they can offer...
