My Shredder W11C stopped working suddenly both forward and backwar. The power source is O K.

if you can hear the motor working but the paper won't pull in and shred then you broke a tooth on the plastic gear. This happens when you try to shred too much at one time. It happened to me but I couldn't find a plastic gear or the company to replace the gear. I liked the machine so I made my own tooth with DEVCON home plastic welder. With a little ingenuity and some tools you could try to fix it. Or like someone said buy a new shredder

The plastic peice that activates the machine from inside the waste basket broke.

I had the same problem. I super-glued the pieces togeter and allowed them to dry completely (over night). Then I super-glued two strips of plastic perpendicular to the original brake and allowed to dry completely. It has worked for several years without difficulty. I was unable to find the broken part. However, if I had a plastic injection moulder, I would make them and sell them for $20 each; free postage.
Good Luck

I have one equally old and my plastic bit broke off many years ago.
I just get used to using it without.
It sticks but it's such a good stapler I forgive it.

Shredder won't turn off

The sensors probably need replacing. Most larger Fellowes shredders come with a three year warranty. It will not hurt to use it the way you are using it.

It appears that the controls are covered by a film with symbols printed on it; this shouldn't have disabled the machine and this type of control has no dangerous voltages present so safety is not an issue.
This type of control generally uses small carbon buttons or a tiny enclosed switch assembly and neither of these are very durable and may not be making contact as they should.
Another possibility is that an internal switch that is activated by the paper inserted may have failed.

There does not seem to be a manufacturer named 'Universal' but the link below is a Chinese maker with a model very close to yours:

You seem to have no recourse other than contacting the firm that sold you the machine for service.
