Toilet flush

[alexcaravan]

away in bailey pursuit 430. First time away new to caravaning. We have not toilet flush working and no microwave. We have a battery in caravan but we are plugged into electricity. Everything else seems to be working. Does anyone know what this could be. I have checked electric box and all facing up.

Microwave is mains voltage and there is usually a plug in a socket near it. If switch on and no power check the MCB on the consumer unit. As regards toilet flush switch lights on and see when pressing toilet flush button if lights dim. If so. sign pump is seized up after standing over winter.

Nothing at all happens when flushing toilet no noise or anything. Microwave is plugged in. I have a feeling something has tripped. All my trip switches are facing upwards

Depending on toilet model there will be a fuse at back of the cassette if you pull it out or look on consumer unit fuses marked pump, if fuses OK often find the connections on the circuit board inside the toilet tank corroded.

The microwave and the toilet flush are completely unrelated to each other. So you are looking for two issues.

Can you borrow a short extension lead and check the microwave in a different socket? Or plug something else into the microwave socket to determine if there is power to it?

Microwaves come with moulded mains plug and somewhere there will will ne a fused socket somewhere close to the unit with the plug inserted in it (usually in the adjacent cupboard) putting the plug into a trailing socket as Beady suggests will confirm if the microwave is working also getting a socket tester (see photo)will allow you to also check the socket is working or not.
Re the toilet, my money is on a seized pump , I have replaced two, just this week.
