Macerator working?

Hi,

we got our new Jayco Precept with built-in macerator about two months ago. I've tried it two or three times since then, but every time I hit the 'macerator on' switch on the water panel, I don't hear a thing. Should I hear the motor running, or is it really that quiet? Can anyone who has the macerator tell me how loud the thing is?

When I poke my head behind the panel there are wires hooked to the switch, and there is no dedicated fuse for the thing. I'm hoping the whole thing doesn't need to be replaced.

I use the macerator on every trip. you will hear it and you should see the hose fill(expand) as it is pumping. Have not had to trouble shoot problems with it yet.

Thanks - sounds like mine is not working then From what I've seen in forums I still hold out hope that there's just a wire somewhere that needs to be connected.
