Default Magic eye on shredder


wrote in message
oups.com...
Hi

I have a Fellowes PS-62C shredder like this:
http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/st...chTerms=ps+62c

Suddenly, without warning, the sensor which detects a sheet of paper
stopped working, so that the shredder is always on (unless I switch it
off manually). The sensor looks like some kind of IR thing. I've
cleaned it, but that hasn't helped.

Any ideas?

Cheers!

Martin


Instead of the sensor, I would look at the triac or relay that drives the
motor. It probably failed in the On state as those parts often do.
