AL-KO 1100 garden shredder problem

[Mark McElroy]

My 30yr old shredder has never before given trouble. Now it starts well but
after 7-10 seconds cuts out. I have had the capacitor tested - OK. What might
be the problem

We've got the manual for the shredder here, attached.

You can also do some further troubleshooting steps as follows:

1. Disconnect from power supply: Ensure that the shredder is totally disconnected from the power supply.
2. Use an Ohmmeter: Using an Ohmmeter, connect the meter's two test leads across the power plug's two pins.
3. Check the reading: When you operate the start button on the shredder, the meter should display a reading.
4. Verify proper setup: If there is no reading on the meter, ensure that you have set up the meter properly to read Ohms.

So in conclusion, the suggested troubleshooting steps involve disconnecting the shredder from the power supply, using an Ohmmeter to test the power supply, and checking the reading on the meter to ensure proper setup.
