Electric Head Replacement
After attempting to rebuild the Jabsco electric head (toilet) in the forward stateroom, and discovering several more damaged parts than what is included in the rebuild kit, I gave up on the rebuild, and ordered a new Jabsco Electric Toilet.
Once I had it taken apart there was more damage than I was expecting, including the following:
- Existing screws with the heads very stripped out. This was not the first rebuild.
- The hard plastic impeller, which is not part of the rebuild kit had broken blades.
- Some of the parts shown in the diagram were missing when I took it apart.
There is a point where you have been working in stinky sewage for 2 plus hours and you realize it is time to just throw this toilet away and start with a fresh one. The new unit should involve just 4 bolts to the floor, 3 hose attachments, and 2 electric wires. It should be much quicker to install the new unit versus what I have spent working on the rebuilt so far.
Here is what I ended up ordering.
Here is the original unit.
