Fellowes PS60C-2 shredder doesn't shred
The motor in my Fellowes PS60C-2 shredder only works in reverse and the little red light shows for a micro-second after the button is held down although the motor keeps going all the time the reverse button is pressed. When the button is in the forward position the green light stays on but the motor doesn't respond at all. Any thoughts?

There are two switches under the cutter area. 1 for sensing when your basket is full, (sometimes these bin-full flaps get stuck in the up position, energizing the switch) and the other is a switch that detects if your basket is installed. fellowes has modified these shredders so many times, that there are alot of different configurations. look for something that resembles a flap under the head and make sure its in the down position. as for the basket sensor, some baskets had 2 projections on the left and right top of basket. one may be broke. if so, you can "cheat" the switch with a screwdriver to see if thats the problem.
