Paper Shredder Sensor Not Working. The switch is located inside the basket. If this happens switch off the unit. Push down with both spudgers at the same time to pop the washer off the gear. If I ever want to shred a CDDVD I guess I will need to feed a sheet of paper through the machine.
Paper shredders are great machines that can help keep everyones private information under wraps. I opened the unit up and by passed the CDDVD shredder LED did not work. However it does not matter if you own a personal-sized device or a departmental one you probably will experience some problems with it at some point. I than by passed the paper shredder LED and this did work. However you need to know more about this problem and the solution also. In general this problem can occur due to the power supply and power cord.
Watch your fingers while working on these things.
When ready to shred be sure to insert material directly into the center area to start the machine especially applies to smaller pieces of paper andor CDs and Credit Cards if applicable. A sensor which activates the shredder is located in the center area of the feed entry. This in some cases can solve the problem. If the paper being shredded is too narrow it might not be activating the sensor. There is an activation sensor located in the middle of the shredding feed slot. Push down with both spudgers at the same time to pop the washer off the gear.
