My approach would be to turn off water to toilet and then look at pulling the pedal off to see if it is the pedal to water valve connection or what. If you can see the exit bail open when the pedal is pushed, then at least that much is still working. Don't remember what the internals looked like as my Sealand never went south on the old motorhome. Sorry.

Does the ball not rotate? Or water doesn’t come out? Or both?

Sea land porcelain wont flush

Good morning,
the pedal feels glitchy like it is kinda hung up on something. I cant see the ball as the bowl is half full of (yuck). Im going to call the manufacturer today and see if they have an idea. I appreciate your question and help. Thank you.

Replace it with a 310 or 320 dometic and be done with it. Not worth messing with it

Thank you for that advice.
I just ordered the replacement kit today for the while shaft and ball mechanism.

You can always stick your hand in the bowl and move the bail back to empty the bowl. Yeah, kind of like playing in a mud pit, but it is yours.
