My daughter purchased a document shredder. The name is Shredder Essentials
Model SES - C810 Serial #B07130500876

After some usage, it stopped working. I opened the casing and found that
there were two nylon gears that had stripped. I contacted Shredder
Essentials on their WebSite and asked for their service manual, and told
them what had happened. That was a couple of months ago, and I haven't
heard from them at all.

I would like to replace the two gears with metal ones. Failing that, I
could just replace the nylon gears with new ones. I have gone through
Google and have had no luck finding a repair kit for this shredder. Maybe
the gear train is a common one and is used in other shredders. Does anyone
here have any info on this?

Is this an expensive shredder?


I don't know. I didn't ask her what she paid for it. I really don't like
the idea of the nylon gears. They would be prone to early wear and
destruction. There are only two of them in the gear train, but the two work
together at the motor, then the all-metal ones go on from there. If I could
find a kit to replace the two with metal ones, it would be fine with me.
