There is a small mechanism on the side that you slide forward. It will quickly expel the jammed disc.

Mine jams when you don't fully slide the action forward before pulling back

Hey Jim:So the instructions are on the little sticker that's on the device. You just need to peel it back.That said, if you have the one shown, face it in the manner shown in the above picture. Then, place the tape on the roll so it is unwinding on the left. Run the tape down through the bottom opening, and then bring it up around the rotating wheel on the left bottom corner.

hold one hand on plastic/clear part and below - hold another hand on top metal part. Twist. It will unlock and come apart. You will have room to fill plastic area. Then place the pieces back together and twist to lock it back into place.

If you let it get so completely full that it stops, sometimes the paper shreds remain jammed up in the shredding unit even though the bin is empty. Try the following:1. pull the bin completely out 2. tap on the side of the unit (near the top) to see if you can loosen the jam, use the reverse button intermittently3. shine a flashlight up into the blades from inside the bin area to see if you can see a problem4. vacuum out the shredding blades with a crevice attachment on the vacuum hose (looking up from inside the bin area)5. tilt the unit upside down and then right side up If you let it get so completely full that it stops, sometimes the paper shreds remain jammed up in the shredding unit even though the bin is empty.

You simply twist it holding the top and bottom and it will separate in the middle. Sometimes it's a little tricky but there should be an arrow indicating which way to twist it.

You should be able to pull it back out. Maybe fish it out with a pair of tweezers?

I was able to un-jam mine, but kept the new one I bought. There isn't one of the "typical" allen wrench "unjamming" features. However, as I recall I pulled it out and by putting my hand in and trying to rotate the "innards" was able to find the offending piece of metal wedged along the outer circumference and get it out. Then it was fine - and I reinstalled it. Try that first before ordering new. These are smaller than typical units - in my case the sink is smaller so this unit takes up less cabinet space underneath. If you have to replace it, I'd suggest getting the same unit and not getting one of the larger units you find at Home Depot etc. Hope that helped!

Wipe it off and dry it. Once dry it resets in a few minutes. I only had trouble with it once had to shut it off for about 20 minutes.

There's a hole in the side that's not for a button, take a screw driver or something and just gap it apart. the rest is just gently applying force until it separates. I haven't found a better way to do it.

Just pull it with a small pliers. It should come out. It is just clipped not soldered

Take the loose nut all the way off. Then try. I believe it has backwards threads.

Unplug it. Turn up side down. Lightly tap corners against hard surface. Spray it with "Electronic compressed-gas". I do this all the time to clean it. If that still doesn't work. You can pop off the key(s) that are blocking the particles, carefully. It will pop back in place.... I hope this helps. Mahalo

Just pull it open - it clicks into place. When you are done, just fold it back up. You might have to push a little extra the first time, but it will be fine after that.

You can't tape it back sorry. You might have to solder (sotter if you don't know how to say it) it back together. You can't tape it or you will have a weird connection.
