    Will not come on since after I dumped the bin. So, I unplugged for 30 seconds and replugged. Still will not come on. Then I cleared away any shredded paper that my jam the shredder and repeated the process and still the shredder will not come on. Please advise.

    Same Problem. When I turn the shredder on, the ready light changes from green to orange and the overheat light comes on - and the machine does not run. The reverse works. The auto feature hasn't worked since shortly after I got the shredder (VF1000MX). I cleaned out all the pieces of paper stuck in the teeth. I have always kept the maching oiled. I've tried unplugging the machine and plugging it in the next day, but it still does NOT work. I'd like to know if I should throw the machine out and get a different brand, OR WHAT? SRR

I have the same problem with my C-14. Called Fellowes support. Had me clean the leds that tell the shredder is full to stop running. Cleaned with rubbing alcohol. They are still not working. So they say it is not fixable, but will give me a discount on a new one. Anyone know how bypass the led circuit?

Sometimes small pieces of paper get caught in the safety interlocks preventing the machine from operating forward. My advice (YMMV) is to FIRST UNPLUG the shredder mechanism, then examine it closely from both sides for what looks like bits of paper wedged in cusps and corners or between things. Use a long, flat, skinny pair of rat-nose pliers to get out the stuck confetti.

Repair. reverse is OK but will not shred
There is a light sensor that is blocked by the paper that tells the machine to turn on when paper is loaded for shredding, it is most likely blocked with debris for a previous shredding.

Paper got stuck. machine will not turn on.
First, check that the machine is properly seated on the waste container. There is a switch that prevents the shredder's operating if it isn't properly seated. Will your "ready" indicator light up? If the machine will not turn on at all, try something else in the outlet the shredder is plugged into. If there is no power to the outlet, you probably tripped the breaker. Reset it and proceed as follows. Turn your switch to "off". Unplug the shredder and flip the shredding head upside-down on a stable surface. Remove anything that was previously hanging down. Gently remove stuck stuff, keeping your hands in a safe position. Place the shredder head back on the waste container and plug it in. Most all shredders have a reverse on them for just this occasion. Work the machine reverse and forward, until it releases. When in reverse, remove whatever the shredder gives up, with the switch set to off, of course. This should get you back in the shredding business. Next time you're at one of the office supply stores, get some shredder lubricator sheets. Using these from time-to-time lessen the incidence of jams.
Enjoy! --W/D

Won't turn off
The optical switch may be clogged. UNPLUG the machine and remove all shreddings from under the cutters. Look down from the top and in the middle to be sure that there is nothing blocking the "electric eye" located there. Shredding labels or self stick envelopes can leave pieces stuck to the eye.

Paper jam. Ready lite comes on but shreder will not start shreding
Common problem with paper shreds blocking the sensors on top and bottom of cutter asm. You may have to remove the top of unit to properly clean. When removing top, be very careful with the short ribbon cable. Lift top slowly and then reach under and disconnect from main board. Once top is off, you can cycle motor by hand and try to remove shreds with needle nose pliers. Of course, disconnect power first.

I have a SX102M paper shreder that wont shrede
It's the paper sensing microswitch. Wire a small toggle switch and drill a small hole for it on the far right side of the top housing. Just remember that the switch has to be turned off when you are finished shredding or the motor will keep running till it burns out

Shreder will only go backwards
I have a Fellows OS-11Cs shredder that suddenly quit operating. It would run in reverse and when auto mode was selected an audible clicking noise was emitting from a relay on the pc board. My initial thought was that I had overheated the unit since the shredder had been operating perfectly up to the point where it stopped working but that didn't seem to be the case after the unit was allowed to cool down.I cleaned all visible paper shreds from the cutters(with the shredder unplugged)that were visible and then sprayed the cutters with a very light lubricant (3 in 1 oil) I then operated the shredder in the reverse mode for a few moments and since then the shredder has operated flawlessly.I hope this is of some assistance to others with a similar problem.

Shredder won't shred any more.
I have the Infoguard SX100M Axeus, sold by Staples.
Only the reverse was working, UNPLUG and open back cover, the paper mechanical switch was working fine, red side switch, the gears and fuse were all ok, I think something on the circuit board was fried.
I switched the BLACK and WHITE wires with each other going to the shredder motor, thus when I switched it to reverse, it would go foward and shred. Its working now, only in reverse.
