Macerator has failed to pump anything. Motor spins, but nothing is pumped. I down loaded a sheet of instructions on macerator repair (installation of a repair kit). However, the model 19598 differs from the one in my coach a little. The exploded view shows a "chopper" at the end of the motor shaft. My macerator has a three pronged cast assembly, instead of a blade. Part of the instructions say to insert a slim ignition wrench behind the chopper. I don't see anywhere to slide the wrench, there does not appear to be any flats for a wrench to grab on to.
Unfortunately, the macerator has lost its data label, so I'm not exactly sure of make or model. I have a replacement impeller kit that is labeled Jabsco, and most of the parts and design seems to follow the exploded diagram for the Jabsco, so I suspect that it is a Jabsco.
I think that the impeller has failed.
Thank goodness for a 3" dump valve, or this would be much worse than it already is.
