      How to Replace the Power Jack in the OGO™ ORIGIN

      The OGO™ ORIGIN compost toilet runs on 12V DC power through a panel-mounted barrel jack. If the jack fails, you can replace it with a few simple steps.

      If you're having an issue with your power jack, contact us at sales@ogotoilet.com. Our customer care will make sure you get the right part to get your OGO™ working properly again.

      What You’ll Need

      • Replacement 12V DC barrel jack

      • Wire strippers or utility blade

      • Flathead (optional) for WAGO® clip release

      How to Replace the Jack

      1. Disconnect Power

      Unplug the unit from its 12V DC power source.

      2. Access the Power Jack

      Reach inside the housing and push the jack out from the panel.
      Most versions are pressure-fit or secured with a nut you can turn by hand.

      3. Disconnect Wiring

      • If your jack is wired into a WAGO® connector, press the orange tab and pull the wires free.

      • If wires are wrapped or shrink-wrapped, gently separate them and expose the individual red and black wires.

      4. Remove the Old Jack

      Once wiring is disconnected and the jack is loose, pull it fully out through the front panel.

      5. Prep the Wires

      • If your replacement jack doesn’t come pre-wired, you’ll need to attach your own wires.

      • Strip back the outer plastic coating if needed to expose the red and black wires inside.

      • Then strip about ¼" off the ends to make clean connections.

      6. Connect to the New Jack

      • Match wire colors: Red to +12V, Black to Ground

      • Insert wires into the WAGO® clip and secure by closing the orange clip.

      7. Install and Test

      • Seat the jack back into the panel opening.

      • Tighten the bolt around the jack by hand then secure with wrench. Do not over torque.

      • Plug the unit into power.

      • Check for function: fan turns on, button triggers cycle, LED lights up.
