Magic eye on shredder
You're right.... meant to say shine the light on the sensor. It's tough
getting old and having brain farts and finger farts at the same time.
Don't even have a dog to blame it on.

The sensor is just an IR LED. An easy way to test if it is the sensor
is to shine a bright flashlight onto the non-IR LED. If it shuts off it
is the sensor which can be sourced anywhere. If it doesn't shut off, it
isn't the sensor. Sensors are a major problem with Fellowes & I always
keep at least 6 sets in stock.
LEDs are emitters of light, not sensors.
