Replace Basket Full Sensor
The motor will stop if the wastebasket is full and the
shredder will not operate until the excess paper is
cleared.
The basket full sensor is an electric eye that monitors
the paper level in the basket. The sensor consists of a
transmitter and receiver that are attached to the left and
right sides of the cabinet shelf.
The sensor wires plug into the PC board. The sensor
connects to the Basket Full indicator lamp through the
PC board. (See the wiring diagrams)
To replace the basket full sensors:
1
Disconnect the basket full sensor wire connector
from the PC board. See the wiring diagram.
2
Remove the screw that holds each basket full
sensor bracket to the bottom of the cabinet shelf.
Remove the lamp from the bracket. Note the color
of each lamp.
3
Thread the new transmitter or receiver lamp
through the opening in the cabinet shelf and place
the lamp in the bracket.

Place the brackets in position on the bottom of the
cabinet shelf making sure the 2 plastic tabs on
each bracket fit in the corresponding holes in the
cabinet shelf.
