Tecma Toilet Short

[Jfrano]

Just started having this problem today. Press button to flush and looks like the fill works but when the flush tries to start it blows the 25 amp fuse. Anyone have info on this issue?

Thanks Joe

I had a similar issue. No apparent obstruction but motor would blow the fuse.

I suspect that previous use had warped the chassis and cause the motor to jam, - sucking a bunch of current and blowing the fuse.

i looked at various options to repair and in my case I replaced the bottom half of the toilet as that was an easier path to replace all the parts. i.e. kept the bowl and seat.

I just had this last fall fall. The motor bearing has has 1 seal between it and the salt water. Any leaking of the seal causes the bearings to fail and fuse to blow. Replacing the motor/pump assembly is the only answer since this particular toilet is now no longer sold.

Yep, motor froze and needed replacement,

hi folks,

It happened to me last week. Do you have the part number/model for the bottom half of the toilet? I have a Cutwater C-30 w/ Tecma Toilet. Is it a easy fix or it requires long hours to replace it?

Thank you
