Does anyone know how to access the water pump on a thetford 402 toilet, our has stopped working. I have checked the fuse but I can not find access to the pump itself.

We have a different model, however, frequently the water just stops squirting and swirling. We found, after one caravan mob telling us they had fixed the problem at an exorbitant price, and another selling us the part that we did not need, that it was not the pump, but the filter inside the hose was clogged up with calcium. Pays to check that as well. The instructions for that should also be on the repair manual.

I replaced my pump recently not easy to find, take the lid off where the handle and flush switch are then get someone with a small hand to twist their way round to pull it up after much stuffing around my problem turned out to be the printed circuit
i hope you didnt throw the old one out . if its the little submersible one in the holding tank for the toilet it can be reused .
my story
hadnt used the van for a few mths and we went away for a long weekend i took the van down and della stayed wile i worked and came down a few days later . she told me the pump didnt work yea rite i said but she was rite . i looked em up on the net and found lots of different prices . i thought what the heck and started to pull the dunny apart .i found the pump pulled it out and had another beam . lol first i gave it a spray with wd40 then i stuck a tooth pick in the impeller and gave it a twist it (all wile still connected to the power) supply hey presto . no more bucket to flush the loo and its still going after 4 mths . .
i hope this helps someone out
