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?

Hobby shops that sell radio control equipment often have boxes
of miscellaneous gears in hand. You might find a good fit.
An old desktop copier or laser printer might also have what
you need. Don't substitute metal for plastic casually. The
soft plastic gears might be a safety feature, shearing before
the cutter blades damage something or the motor overloads
and burns.

I just went through this and learned that parts are not generally available
for home grade shredders.

Darn shame ... mine is now in a landfill and could easily have been repaired
with two gears.

Two years back i junked a shredder with stripped gears. theres just no
support or after sales tech help for this sort of consumer item

on a related note i recently repaired another shedder which was jammed
up and not running. Reason was bits of cd jamming the mechanism. As it
was twisted up it also took out the plastic paper prsence sensor arm,
so the machine only tried to run in manual mode.

In my opinion, even if the machine claims to have a facility for
shredding semi-rigid plastic like cards and cd's , its still risky.
That experience showed me how much damage those bits can cause.
Fortunately in my case no gears were stipped.but it only takes a shred
of cd to get into the gear train and that's the shredder fit for the
tip.
