Model SPL-TXC15A. Why doesn't it operate?

Look for a small fuse inside if you can open the power head.

Therer should be a tab hanging down that senses when the paper height trips it.

Blow into the sensor with canned air.

is it the drive gear or is it that the shreader is dull that makes the shreader sluggish?

This is what worked for me.
1) unplug the shredder
2) put the selector in "auto" position. This pulls back the guard which blocks the paper and hids the sensor.
3) a little right of the center of the paper slot is the sensor. You can feel this by inserting a cotton swab in ths slot.
4) put some alcohol on the cotton swab and clean the sensor!!!!

Also the "bin full" sensors are under the shretter head. You can easily see those when you remove the head from the bin by flipping it over. I would advise cleaning those while you are at it. Mine were covered with dirt and dust.

Hope this helps!!
