What to do if AmazonBasics Paper Shredder runs in reverse but not auto?
- TTiffany RoseAug 4, 2025
If your AmazonBasics Paper Shredder operates in 'Reverse' but not 'Auto (On),' the issue could be: * Narrow paper not activating the optical sensor, or a blocked feed slot: Insert an index card or rigid card stock into the center of the feed slot to help push any jammed paper through. * Try switching the shredder to 'Reverse' mode to loosen the paper. * For persistent jams, apply shredder oil (or cooking oil) into the feed slot where the paper is stuck.
