Probably the rotor has come to a stand still (carbonade). I suggest you will clean the rotor with an house-hold acid liquid (like the one for cleaning coffeemachines).

Thetford makes toilets with hand pumps , and electrical pumps . Permanent , and portable toilets . Without more info , it is hard to guess . With my portable electric model , batteries had to be replaced .

This is quite difficult and fiddly. The fuse unit is situated above where the cassette gets inserted. Remove the cassette and at the top front left hand side you will see the wiring in the cavity. This will give you access to the fuse unit and reed switch. I am assuming the toilet won't flush. If this is the problem then the answer is above. If the problem is the light will not illuminate when full then it is the reed switch that needs replacing or by passing. Hope this helps.
Here is a link I found to help you. I have fixed a few and replaced some for various camper and motorcoaches but not having it in from of me make it difficult to diagnose. This link gives a list for many issues. http://howtomendit.com/search.php?keywords=thetford

Walmart sell aglaecide for swimming pools and hot tubs. I'd use that first. After algae has died, scrub inside of tank lightly and flush a couple of times.
It sounds like the solenoid valve is stuck open. This is tucked away up inside the bowl and the bowl needs to be removed to gain access. For a repair sheet email [email protected]
Don't send money. Just go to thetford.com and download info. Some tips - if seal is old and breaking up make sure you recover all the bits which have fallen into the flush water tank. If new o-ring seal not available use outdoor silicone sealant and allow to set for 48 hours before adding anything other than a small amount of water to test flush action. Electric circuit includes a fuse and microswitch which are both contained within the flush water tank but you are unlikely to have problems with these items.
