    What to do if my McGREGOR GY6000 Paper Shredder motor will not start?

      Jared KaiserAug 3, 2025
      If the motor of your McGREGOR Paper Shredder doesn't start, there are several potential causes. First, check the socket, cable, lead, and plug for any damage, and have it repaired by qualified personnel if needed. Second, the overload protection might have tripped; in this case, wait for the motor to cool down, then press the Reset button and restart the unit. Finally, ensure that the lid of the housing is properly closed by tightly screwing in the cover knob.

      If your McGREGOR Paper Shredder isn't drawing in garden waste, it could be due to a few reasons. The shredding material might be too soft; try using the pusher or adding dry twigs/branches. Additionally, there might be a blockage, so you should refer to the section on clearing blockages. It's also possible that shredding material is stuck in the discharge duct, which you should remove.
