Doesn't Shut Off Automatically

When shredder is finished shredding, the motor continues to run. Only way to stop it is to manually turn the shredder off. Even when it is turned off, when basket is emtied and put back into place, shredder turns on and motor runs until the shredder is manually turned off again. Anybody had this happen, and what did you do about it?

Hi. The paper sensor may be bad or dirty. And/or it could be a short or issues with the sensor wiring - or it could be a failing PCB. Some shredders have been replaced under warranty claims for the same behavior.
