Db-0812d pcb mounted tranformer in my fellowes ps-77cs shredder has burnt out - need tech details of this transformer to enable me to find a replacement
Judging by the number of Google responses to DB-0812D it appears that this little transformer is mounted so that it hangs on its connectors = upside down from the intended mode and the slightest bump placing the power unit back on the collector bin can snap it off. Bad design on an otherwise good machine. Action 1. Bin it. Action 2A. Buy a different make [which may have other problems] - or... Action 2B. Buy another the same but use hot melt glue to ensure the DB-0815D will stay in place.
