My shredder keeps running in auto mode. I've cleaned out the blades but it still runs non stop unless I turn it off.

Usually one of the infrared LED's has gone bad. If you are a tinkerer, you can open the top and replace the Infrared LED emitter LED. You can compare it with the other LED's by using a cellphone camera or digital camera to see if the emitter LED is dim. Usually the main one in the middle is the culprit as it is used more. Hope that helps!

Have you turned it off and let it for 20 minutes and turned it back on to reset it? If that doesn't work, please check your owners manual and call them . You may have a defective unit.

I had the same problem with a different unit and replaced it with this. Have you run the cleaning sheets through it? I would suggest that and as the other response suggested, try to get it to reset itself.

there a switch just on the inside when you activate the shredder it might be catching on a piece of paper that is caught. and not releasing after it has passed.

When it is running it sounds like a blender at low speed....even when shredding cardboard or something thicker. The motor noise is a constant low hum no matter how many documents are being shredded at once. In other words the motor does not sound like it is working harder when shredding thicker things. There is a metal ringing/clicking sound sometimes when shredding thicker things...this is the finger guards touching together...I think....hope this helps...so far I am very happy with this shredder.

I try to use one after I have shredded about a reem's worth of paper. Your shredder directions may have a guide to tell you how often to clean it. I don't know of any standard recommended frequency.

You need to do that in the printer controls in your computer. Or you can always just turn the printer off, but it will continue when you turn it on again.

Put fingers in drawer slot, lift up slightly, pull forward. I never had a problem with mine. Is the basket too full? If so, give the shredder a little shake to settle the shredded paper. Try again.

I used it for an extended period of time, shredding 3 sheets at a time and pausing briefly in between . I paused for five to ten minutes every half hour or so, to let it cool down. Do oil the blades with vegetable oil before starting a major project. It was time consuming as I went slowly and do not let the shredder over heat.

I had one very serious jam and I made sure that the shredder was turned off and unplugged from the surge protector and then used several pliers in different lengths and pulled the paper from it. After I cleared the jam I put some performance oil on a single sheet of paper and ran it through and it worked okay.

It makes what sounds like a little bell noise while it is shredding. It's most pronounced with you use the credit care shredder slot. Works great, just makes a strange noise.

NO sorry mine does the same thing and I can't seem to get it too stop either! It was great until I moved it to another place and then it just sits now! I really think they should replace it with a better model for us all ! Mine is just a dust magnet now ! :( very sad! Don't buy this one and tell a friend!

My last shredder overheated and never worked again. (kind of seized up). I think had I oiled it periodically, this would not have happened. I did purchase oil to use on this one. Just my thought...

To me that sounds like there is a glitch. Do you shut down the machine when not in use?

Not mine- runs continuously at whatever level i set it at. I cant even imagine how (mechanically) it could do that. I would contact their customer service.

I don't think it has an auto shut off, I just take it back and turn it off manually. I have not tested to see how long it runs if it is I don't shut it off.

It cycles to the next mode each time you turn it on. No matter how long its been turned off.
