Wickes 2500w silent shredder

[Graham81]

Hi all 

 

First time posting I am trying to find a wiring diagram for the above shredder I think it's from 2008 not sure any help would be great.

It's made for Wickes by a third party, not wickes themselves. Only wickes will know what chinese factory it came out of. The machine itself is a generic machine probably made in different colours to suit whichever multi national buyer for a european retailer wants, and then they sticker it up with different names on it.

 

Wickes won't give you their suppliers name, and even if they did a wiring diagram is something they are unlikely to produce or provide to joe public. It's not designed to be repaired given its purchase price and projected operational life, and you would have to prove you are a qualified electrician in the product to warrant taking it apart...something they don't encourage.

Can't really see why a wiring diagram needed? It's a motor and couple of switches surely?

[GarethM]

Which wires are you trying to connect.

 

As the left switch is missing a input on the middle above the blue.

 

I assume the brown in and black out is a thermal fuse

No spade connector on the earths (green / Yellows), is the wire cut and these can be connected together?

 

Can you do a quick photo of the other sides of the switch assemblies? Perhaps upload them back and front next to each other? Just to check (see link below for what I think it is?)

 

Look at the assemblies, generally I'd expect a wire in and a wire out from each part. So Gareths left switch has 1 wire attached, I think there should be a second wire. Likewise picture 3 has a single black wire going to something, I'd expect 2 wires there. 

 

What else is needing to be connected? Might be wise as well to check it out with a multi-meter or similar as to what connections are paired together.

 

(My thought is that it is a motor and a switch essentially, get the mains wire the wrong way round, it will just turn backwards)

Don't earth wires have to be hard wired rather than spades that can pull part?

[Steven P]

Not sure on that one,
