What to do if my Fellowes Paper Shredder suddenly stops?
- CChristopher SimmonsJul 30, 2025
If your Fellowes Paper Shredder stops suddenly, it might have exceeded its maximum run time and entered a cool-down period. In this case, move the power switch to the OFF (O) position and allow the shredder motor to cool down for at least 25 minutes. Alternatively, the shredder could be jammed due to excessive paper. To resolve this, ensure the wastebasket is empty, then move the power switch to the REVERSE (R) position to reverse the jammed paper. If it jams in reverse, switch to AUTO (I) for 5 seconds. Repeat this process until the jam clears. If needed, turn off the shredder and carefully pull out the paper to clear the jam, then switch back to AUTO (I) to continue shredding.
