How to Replace the Bowl on Your OGO™ ORIGIN Compost Toilet

Replacing the bowl on your OGO™ ORIGIN is a straightforward task when you’ve got the right tools and a step-by-step guide. Whether you're swapping in a fresh bowl or repairing damage, here’s how to get it done confidently.

What You’ll Need

  • Phillips or flathead screwdriver

  • Wire strippers (for contact removal and reconnection)

  • Replacement bowl

  • Patience and a little pressure



Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Power Down and Prepare

Before you begin, ensure the unit is powered off and disconnected from any electrical source. Safety first.

2. Remove Electrical Contacts

Use your wire strippers to carefully disconnect the existing wires connected to the bowl. These connections are for the fan and sensor assembly. Label them if needed so you can match them back up correctly later.

Wiring Color Reference:

When connecting the new bowl wiring, use this guide to match old wires to the new color code:

  • Yellow (new)Black (old)

  • Red (new)Red (old)

  • Green (new)White (old)

3. Remove the Bowl

Using your screwdriver, remove the screws that hold the current bowl in place. Set them aside—you’ll reuse them with the new bowl. Gently lift the bowl out of the housing once it’s fully detached.

4. Install the New Bowl

Place the new bowl into position, aligning it with the screw holes and wiring setup. Reattach the screws you previously removed. Make sure everything is seated evenly and securely—no gaps, no wobbles.

5. Reconnect Wires

Reconnect the electrical wires using your wire strippers if needed to expose clean leads. Match the wire colors based on the reference above. Confirm all contacts are tight and correctly positioned.

6. Final Check

Double-check that the bowl is secure, wiring is intact, and nothing is pinched or misaligned. Power the unit back on and test for airflow and sensor response.
