Fellows Powershred c-120 c indicator lights

On the mentioned powershred, the middle indicator light that lets you know you need to empty the shredder comes on after each time you shred something.  You shut it off and turn on it's fine till the next piece of paper.  Any ideas would be appreciated, thank you.

Your bin full sensors are dirty or broken to clean access bottom side of shredder head and look for a set of screws on each end of the paper throat. There you will see two little bulbs (bin full sensors) these have more than likely gathered paper dust and need to be cleaned with a Q-tip dipped in a little Isopryl Alchohol. This should solve your problem. If you have any questions just call us at 1-800-945-4545. A Customer Service Representative will assist you.

Fellowes Powershred PS80. Took bin out to empty, now wont run.

Had similar problem. Make sure there is absolutely nothing stuck in there. Get the vacuum on it if you have to. It is simply not making proper contact.

How do I clean the sensors

Before you do anything with this machine unplug the power lead. Switching off is not enough.
Everything you can do is in the manual:

I have a Fellows Powershred ps 60cc and removed the shredder top to empty the shredded documents. When I put it back on, the red light will not go out and it will no longer work. It was working perfectly...

the shredder has a safety switch that closes when the unit is put back on the basket. check under the cutter head for the hole that has the switch and check your basket for the acuator put together so they will line up

The empty basket light stays on all the time

Try cleaning the bin full sensors. located on both sides of your machine, inside the bin,under the cutter head. If that does not solve problem, you need to replace bin full sensors.

Need a sensor switch for fellows powershred 220. Won't sense paper.

The top sensors may be bad or even the main board that they are connected to is bad. Try cleaning them with a lightly moistened swab or compressed air. Fellowes will sell you the parts.
