General Discussion / Re: Macenator pump - again

Ron - next time I need to get under I will
Look more carefully at the motor. My initial process has been to loosen the 6 Phillips head screws holding the clear plastic cover - which exposes the blades and of course tank “residue” - a slot for a screwdriver to dislodge would be far preferred!

I have a suggestion for the designers of the pump. Add an Allen key access on the bottom of the pump similar to your sink mounted garbage disposal to loosen jams.


For the secound time I have had to remove the clear plastic cover to free the impeller blades - which results on “tank residue “ dripping down on me while working. An Allen key would be a much better solution - just saying.

Late response - I had similar experience with the stove top / microwave cabinet on my 2910d slide out. The bolts used to secure the cabinet are inadequate as mine failed after 40k miles. I found a local shop that was able to replace with stronger ones. - tight space but doable to work on with drawers out.

Update - as others have suggested the impeller blades were jammed. Could not see much or any blockage but upon turning the blades the unit is working again. At least for my model I needed to drop the screws around the plexiglass access window to access the impeller. Thanks all for the inputs.

Confirmed power to switch with meter.   Jumpered switch and no joy so the pump is either stuck or failed. No humming noise. The pump is apparently inside a grey box with what appears to be a circular plexiglass access hole. Gonna dig into tomorrow -  what a crappy job:)

Since both the water pump switch located on the sewer panel and the macenator are both out I will look for the connections. The black and great tank motors are both operational.

Thanks

Larry - they were the bolts that connected to the side of the slide out (below microwave). We had a good 2 inches of separation at the bottom. The drawers would not close due to misalignment.  Kind of surprising as the overall build quality has been very good

Found a guy in. Vermontville NY that got me sorted.  The original bolts / screws broke - not very hefty and I assume the roads in Kentucky did me in:)

General Discussion / Macenator / water pump fuse location

« on: July 26, 2025, 05:57:28 pm »

Neither the macenator or water pump is getting power from the outside panel. Water pump is working so I assume I have a bad fuse. Can anyone telll me whre it is located on a 2015 2910d?  I have read it is powered from the chassis vs fuse panel
  Thanks jerry

Our 2015 2910D has been a beast. Super reliable. That said the roads in Kentucky have loosened the cabinets mounted below the stove top and causing separation from the side of the slide out. We just completed our trek from Texas to upstate NY and I want to secure before heading back. Anyone else have this issue and can offer any input before I start?

Mike - I agree the only issue is space. I have  a 2910d same as Dave so I suspect I can accommodate the swap if I go with progressive. Will call parallax tomorrow and check out that option.

I do appreciate all the input. It’s very helpful

So  progressive tech support told me that don’t make a replacement and I would need a new panel.

That makes zero sense - ii have a 55 amp converter - I just need to make sure I have enough clearance. I may upgrade to AGM batteries next time but don’t go off grid enough to justify lithium.  Made through the weekend ok - just kept my 12 volt demand down and we were fine for 3 days

Thanks all for the feedback. I was think about using my shop vac to get all the water left below the drain plug but the turkey Baster is a good idea. Kinda think I am just going to stick with gas for now. It’s faster and we are not in the camper for long extended periods. I am not sure even if I fabricate access - it would still be somewhat offset and I am not certain I would even have room to pull the element.

Lance - thanks for the offer, but if I am gonna swap I think I will upgrade. I will look at the WFCO unit as well as Progressive. I like the idea of future battery comparability. Best JB

Really appreciate the quick replies- I have been thinking about going with the progressive smart converter charger. I assume I can replace the bottom half of the Parrallax unit (converter portion) and reuse the dc board and fuses?   I will break out my meter and check connections and voltage as suggested when I return home. The external vehicle charger is not an elegant solution but will get me by in a pinch just to keep the batteries topped off
