My shredder will go in the reverse but when I try to shred paper it acts as if the motor is stuck it will run for a few seconds and stop , while running I can see fire when I look in the back of it, please help ????
SOURCE: Won't shut off after shredding.
I FIXED MINE!!! Hey folks same problem AS1018CD would not shut off. CURE: Take apart and clean electronic eye. PROCEDURE: 1. Unplug. 2. Remove shredder and turn upside down. 3. Remove 6 phillips head screws on back of unit ( 1 is under sticker in middle peel back sticker to access screw. 4. Carefully separate unit. 5. Pull off shredder piece. It is a snug rubber grommet fit and just lifts off( gears everything comes off as one piece. 6. Electric Eye is exposed remove screw holding in and gently slide out and wipe clean. Do both sides. While apart clear all debris and wipe entire unit as clean as you can. Put gear assembly back on grommets. Put top and bottom back together. Replace screws. Plug in. FIXED :-)

The problem is the acrylic gear that runs directly off the motor. The threads on it are small, so it easily gets stripped. The engine can grab it better in reverse, since that side of the gears isn't rounded off. That gear needs to be replaced. I'm looking for a replacement short of exchanging it for a new one at target.
This post looks promising:

You probably need to clean out some debris from the shredder's sensor. The sensor is usually a small switch that is pushed into the "on" position when a piece of paper goes through. If there is some paper sticking this switch "on", then the shredder will not shut off. You can use a small needle nose pliers, or a tweezer to get the debris out. Make sure to unplug the unit before cleaning!
Hoep that helps, good luck!
SOURCE: Cannot get it shred forward or reverse. Is there a reset or fuse
probably has broken gears. Aurora does not produce replacement parts for any of their machines. Actually made by Royal and they don't make parts either so don't buy either brand.I guess Fellows is about the best brand or GBC.
