Shredder won't shred. can't hear motor in the forward setting only in reverse

Silverfox007:

There is a paper sensor at the throat of the machine that turns the machine on when it is activated by the paper when the paper is inserted. Something has happened to that sensor. Unplug the machine and remove the shredder head from the basket. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws at the bottom of the shredder head and open the shredder head. Look where the paper is fed into the machine and you will see the sensor. It may be unplugged/wire broken/sensor flag broken off... You'll know what to do when you identify the problem.

Should the engine be running when adding coolant to my 2003 cadillac cts

If you just drained it & are refilling,then yes,the engine
should run & warm up until the thermostat opens & you
keep adding.

If it isn't hot & circulating thru the entire system, you won't
get it close to full with the rad cap off

2005 sedona won't start all of a sudden. Doesn't make a sound except for a tiny whirring sound like the feul injectors. Replaced starter...still won't start. checked all fuses...they are good....

you could just have dead cell in the battery which isn't getting enough amps to the starter,, have the battery LOAD checked,, that will tell you if the battery is actually good, just because it registers 12 volts isn't necessarily an indication that the required amps are present.

I was running a load on cold and it stopped on the light setting. The bowl is full of water with the clothing, won't drain, and isn't responding. What should I do?

You need to check the pump, the best way would be to take the machine outside and to disconnect the hose to the pump, that will allow the machine sensor to reset, you need to check for an obstruction in the pipe feeding towards the pump.

EVERY TIME I POWER UP ITS SAYING F61

The below doesn't work with all Panasonic equipment but if this fails then the only fix is a replacement Laser which isn't cost effective.

U61 Fault
Corrupted or Faulty DVD in Machine.
  1. Put Machine into Standby
  2. If won't go into Standby hold 'Power' for 5-10 seconds
  3. In Standby hold 'Stop' & 'CH UP' together for 5-10 seconds until tray opens
If this fails then re-initialise the Machine as follows
  1. Put Machine into Standby as above
  2. In Standby hold 'Stop', 'CH UP' & 'Open/Close' together for 5-10 seconds.
  3. Hello displayed followed by TM AV1
  4. Put Machine into Standby
  5. 11-11 then 12-12 and finally 22-22 displayed
Switch Machine on and Retune

No Power!

Check and make sure the paper catch bin is locked into place.
IF the shredder doesn't see that the bin is in place, the shredder will appear dead for safetly reasons.

There is a possibility that the control board was cracked but the only way to check that, is to take it apart and check.
Good luck.
