SOURCE: Automatic switch does not shut off after shredding

These shredders have a "paper in" sensor. This is either optical or mechanical.
Sounds like the sensor is blocked and therefore "thinks" there is still more paper left, and this is why it keeps going.

Before you do anything UNPLUG THE SHREDDER.
The sensor is located about in the middle and at the level of the blades.
If it's mechanical, you should see a little finger, else it is electronic.
Shine a light in the area and you should be able to spot where the blockage is.
A shot with compressed ais usually gets rid of the offending particles.

After you're finished working on it, set it back securely on the basket and plug it in.

My Staples SPL-1524CP shredder stopped shredding although the green light is on. I unplugged it for a while, emptied the bin, etc., then plugged back in and it started working again. I ran a lubricant...

There is a small micro switch in the slot where you insert the paper, have a look and find it, it may be jammed with a piece of paper or bend. Wd40 might help
