Questions and answers
Shredder will not run forward only in reverse
The Staples SPL-TXC24A shredder may only run in reverse and not forward due to an overload condition. If too much paper is inserted, the REDUCE PAPER icon will illuminate red, and the shredder will stop and automatically reverse for 2 seconds to prevent a jam. To resolve this, remove the excess paper, recount the pages, and shred in bundles of 24 sheets or less.

Shredder does not run at all. Power button does illuminate but forward and reverse buttons do not illuminate
The Staples SPL-TXC24A shredder may not run with only the power button illuminated because it could be in overheat protection mode. If the motor becomes too hot, the built-in temperature sensor automatically shuts off the shredder, and the overheat indicator turns red. In this case, the shredder needs about 40 minutes to cool down before it can be used again.
