Hey, my RSH2445S Shredder has stopped running.
I have cleared everything out per instruction manual, but it still wont run.
I have tried the reset button, which appears to be fully depressed, and doesnt pop up as suggested in the instruction manual.
With mains power connected
I press Start
A short engine sound can be heard
The green start light flashes rapidly for about 5 seconds.
Then the reverse light flashes for 1-2 seconds and a brief engine sound can be heard.
That’s all I get from the machine.
I can’t find any reference to diagnosis by the lights.
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @snowy456. I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing issue with your Ryobi shredder.
I've checked with the Ryobi technical team, and that series of flashing lights is not indicative of a particular issue apart from potential blockage. However, a blockage wouldn't cause the reset button to not activate correctly, and this would be more likely due to an electrical fault.
Is it still within the four-year warranty period? If so, our in-store team would be more than happy to take a look at it for you and potentially swap it over under warranty.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for that.
unfortunately it is probably 6 years old.
