Royal 10X confetti shredder

If the motor will not run, then probably there's paper clogged in the shredder. Turn over the shredder, after unplugging the power cord, and remove the papers.

If the motor will run but not shredding any paper, then the drive gear has broken teeth. This is not usually worth fixing.
Hope this helps.

Try running the machine in reverse and putting some shredder oil onto the cutting blades to loosen things up. Then try running the machine in the forward direction but hold the paper in the eyes but dont let it go into the shredding blades...see if it runs forward.!
If it will do this then slowly try paper 1 sheet at a time..but put some shredder oil onto the sheets of paper you are shredding.
If the overload light still comes on without even letting you shred 1 sheet of paper then you likely have another problem...maybe the motor or pcb..you can contact Royal at 1-800-524-0799 for parts assistance.

If you have cleared all jammed paper out of the unit but its dead and wont run then its likely you have blown the PCB inside...replacement parts you can get from Royal at 1-800-524-0799.

Does the machine at least run...even in reverse!!
If it does not then you have likely lost the pcb ...you can contact Royal at 1-800-524-0799 for parts availability and pricing.

Lubricate the machine....put shredder oil onto a sheet of paper and shred it...do this a number of times to get the oil down into the cutting blades... x-cut shredders should be oiled regularly.

Two possible problems;

1. Teeth underneath lid are jammed; sometimes (especially after a long session) although the papers go through, debris builds up and can get caught in the teeth; to clear unplug and with tweezers or a tina flathead screwdriver, pull out shreds of paper still caught
2. Motor is overheated; once cool, try it again (move switch to reverse to see if motor is still working). If motor is working, see Step 1 for a jam; some jams can be cleared by running it in reverse. Royal doesn't recommend "long" shredding sessions. My unit recommends sessions of 20 pages or less. If you try to overwork the shredder, it will overheat and in some cases, fry the motor.

I hope this helps answer your problem. Best of luck!

check and see if there is a jam of paper inside the unit or around the sensors

Just put a lightweight shredder oil on some paper and shred the paper...do this a number of times this will get the oil down into the cutting shafts.
