The activation sensor is located on the top in the middle of the feed slot. If the activation sensor is no longer functional, there is no way to start the shredder while in "Auto/On" mode, therefore the sensor needs to be replaced.

For replacement information regarding this sensor you can refer to our troubleshooting page AmazonBasics B0050BPWBQ Troubleshooting .

I had the electric eye sensor that made the shredder go on and off on my Kobra shredder. I just ordered it for $14 www.kobraparts.com Keep in mind it did take me about 45 minutes to put it in and get all the screws back in place. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the hardest I would give it a 4.
