Our electric head on our Hanse 455 has stopped working.  Whilst I am a confident sailor I am not an electrician.  Also our manual is in German!
Any help gratefully received.
Best wishes

Hi Giles,

Probably a 'Jabsco Lite Flush'; try these ... 


https://www.defender.com/pdf/JabscoLiteFlush.pdf

My experience with these has not been good. Lost a drive belt, macerator pump bearing, many leaks and control unit failure literally days before a big passage so just ordered a whole new toilet! I am Engineer and they are a pig to work on as all components are beneath the bowl so bowl must be removed for access which means it cannot be tested without reassembly. Terrible design! Did consider replacing with manual but all the pipework cut outs in boat's GRP moulding are in wrong place. 

Our boat is eight years old BTW, never chartered, spent first three years in a foreign marina and rarely used. This head has not had a hard life!

Good luck.
