It sounds as though the fuse has blown
You do not say the make or model but there should be a fuse somewhere
I suggest you look in the area of the waste container and you may find an in line fuse
On an older van i found that travelling with water in the flush container had corroded the terminals on the flushing button and it was necessary to replace the flush button unit

You need to carefully prize the switch on top of the toilet out very fine flat screw driver does the trick the fuse is on the back of the mother board it just lifts out. if its not on the switch may well be in cassette compartment. Also check the fuse on the psu unit. From memory on my 2012 Madrid it was 7.5 amps

Interesting .... we had exactly the same problem (2013 Unicorn) earlier this year. We couldn't find a fuse either. We were on a CL at the time with no facilities, so spent 3 days flushing the loo with a watering can
We intended to phone the dealer when we got home, but on day 4 the flush button worked, and we haven't had a problem since. Hopefully I haven't spoken too soon

Thanks for the info
had a moment with mine when it wouldn’t work
peered into the cassette capacity with a big torch for a couple of moments searching for a fuse but couldn’t find one
came inside the caravan and watched a couple of helpful YouTube visitors
found a screwdriver
Then spoke to the toilet sternly and suggested it should make better choices tried the flush button again and it burst into life
they are obviously sentient

I too was going to suggest the same as nellie. Letts situation does sound like damp under the top cover. We had a similar problem a couple of years ago with a C250 toilet. Was able to check fuse ok (it was in the cassette compartment) so carefully pealed off top component dried it out and then sprayed with a damp repelling spray. This seems to be fairly common fault but easy to remedy. If using caravan at moment the difference in temp inside the caravan and the top of the flush water tank is likely to result in condensation which could affect the rcd contacts so recommend you dry the rcd anyway

Posted on 29/04/2016 21:26 by SheviWe are away at the moment and our toilet won't work. When you press the blue button on the top nothing happens it does not flush and the red light is not on does anyone have any ideas as to what maybe wrong with this?

Our Thetford had the light on but wouldn’t flush when we pressed the button.
Turned out to be a seized pump after 6 months without use.
we prised off the panel on the top of the toilet (where the flush button is). Took out the two screws and, disconnected one of the wires from the board (just by pulling it like a plug) which allowed me to fully pull out the pump, which is like a 6” long blue tube.
At the end of it there’s like some teeth on a wheel, put a bradawl in there and get it spinning.
Reassembled and all good.
Probably my greatest achievement in manly stuff aver, and make me want to eat a Yorkie and do some swearing 🤙🏼
