THETFORD PORTA POTTI BENCH TYPE WILL NOT FLUSH?

I have a Hobby caravan with a Thetford bench type porta potti fitted but it will not flush I know I have power and the pump works because last year I left my toilet bag on top of the flush switch and after a while it started to flush. I removed the bag and it stopped.
But it would not start again any idea whats wrong

Thetford Thetford 400 series Vehicles, Caravans/Motorhomes Type Not Flush

If the toilet has been stood over the winter, the pump may just be stuck. If it's a C2, then it's under the toilet roll holder, turn it upside down and try spinning the impellor. If it's a C402 then it is under the control panel. If this is OK then the 402 control panel will probably need replacing. On the C2 it could be a micro switch. Don't forget there is a 3 year warranty on the toilets.

I have set up a file for past capers with problems with pump on these toilets hopefully the same type but the C3 doesn't have a pump it has an electric valve, mostly used in motorhomes with built in water tank for all systems.
