Thetford flush pedal pops off

3-1/2 yr old aqua toilet flush pedal pops off.  I put it back on and two flushes it pops off.   This is the model with the flush pedal on the right side.   The pivot point is about 3/4" and the pedal fits inside the frame on the bowl.  Two small detent rings hold it together.   I see no wear but it won't hold.  Anyone have this problem and fixed it.  Camperland says replace the toilet. Thanks

  • Followup.  In another forum someone had trouble with the spring staying in.  Removed and manually stopped the flush by lifting the pedal.  I did the same and seems to work. We are traveling so I'm not messing with it.  I looked at the spring and to me the spring is not bent enough so it pushes the pedal off.  When at home I will try to over bend it.  Hopefully without breaking it.  See how that works.

  • Yeah we had the same problem. Couldn't fix it either. Ended up replacing the toilet.
