My Simply Shred shows "Bin Full" when it is not. What engages this, and is it something I need to clean?

I have had the same issue you must pull out will disconnected all the little papers that are stuck in the rollers that do not fall into the bin then it will run smooth again until you have to repeat the process.

I have never seen that show up on my shredder. You may have paper stuck in the feeder: Check that and if you still are having issues, I would check your manual. :)

Sometimes I have to shake the bin to lower the level, I'm not sure how it determines the paper level. There may also be some paper in the rollers that makes it appear the bin is full.

I've never seen the bin full light come on, if only because I don't let it get that full. If "when it is not" means much less than near the top, it sounds defective. I've never seen that, and the bin on mine is about 80% full now.

I wish I did. That honestly sounds like a mechanical issue, have you had any paper jams, and if so are you sure all the junk paper is cleaned out? Just a random thought. I haven't had any noise issues with mine.

Check both filters. Maybe they are dirty. Might be a partial clog inside System somewhere. Check for partial clog where the bag is connected.

I have the same problem as well. Don't know the answer to it. I empty it out everytime I use it. Sorry, wish I could give a better answer for you.

To avoid jamming, it is best to wipe the rollers with a clean cloth and empty the bin regularly to avoid shreds of paper causing jams. It is also best to lay all papers flat in the auto-feed chamber when shredding.Lynn,Acco Brands

All what I've read is that one should use it after doing a lot of shredding. I use it every time I fill bin twice. Mainly you just want to make sure to keep it maintained.

I'd like to know the exact same thing?! My brand new machine is doing this as well.

I'm not sure. I just got the same one. On mine. 1/2 is empty and full is full. I wish there was a way

Are you sure it is not just overheated? If it is not overheated, pull out the bin and find the paper level lever under the cutters and see if it moves freely. You may need to pick up the shredder head and give it a few sharp raps with the heel of your hand to jar it loose.

There is a handle around the outside perimeter on the top of the shredder. You can't see it from the photo.

It's simple, in the instructions it shows to add a few drops of oil into the left corner of the paper feeder, after each time you dump a full bin of shreds. Can probaly go every 2 cycles, if your shred waste fulls up quickly.

It accumulates data only while it is plugged into a powered outlet. There does not appear to be any way to segment time; it starts counting the seconds of activity immediately after going through it's initialization sequence and does not stop until you kill the power. Anything plugged in and running will show data. It displays watts being used, amps being used, total kilowatt hours, kilowatt cost, line voltage & frequency and hi & low wattage use. It seems my shredder pulls 1.2 watts and 0.089 amps while sitting idle so I turn it off while not shredding something.

I have that happen now and then, especially if I turn it too fast. Slow down in turning, to allow the clean liter to go through the slats better. If that happens, I dump it back in and redo the turn, and don't get the clean litter the second time. It can also happen if it is too full and there is too much litter to fit behind the slats. Make sure you aren't putting too much in.

Likely dust from cheap paper has coated the roller. take a moist cloth (not wet - no drips!) and wipe down all paper pickup pads and rollers.

It could be an issue with the float that indicates whether or not the unit is full. Honestly the float system is pretty cheap, but working on that might fix your problem.

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.

Ok, assuming you are using the shredder, not the grinder. And using the coarse shred wheel, not the fine one then only thing I can think you may have done is turn the Mixer itself up too high. You should leave the mixer on #2 for attachments use. If thats exactly what you did, then maybe your shredding wheel needs to be sharpened.
