Front of Bin for SB-99ci?

I have broke the small tab off the front of the bin. This is the tab which complete the circuit for bin open and allows the shredder to run. Is there a way I can replace the front of the basket. I can easily access the screws which hold the front of the basket. I would be grateful for any assistance.

Since the handle has no electrical parts, I recommend you to glue it back in the following way if you still have the broken pieces:
Parts to use: metal clothes hanger, a epoxy glue (from Home Depot)
Method: Cut a short piece of wire from the clothes hanger. The length should be short enough to fit inside the handle and act as an reinforcement for the broken handle. The epoxy glue has 2 tubes, resin and hardener. Follow the instruction of the epoxy package, mix equal amount from each tube. The quantity should be enough to fill up part of the handle with the hanger wire embedded. Drying takes a couple of hours but leave it overnight before you use it.

Hope this help...Clem

Clem,
The whole pull out bin is just plastic, no electrical.
The tab is built in to the front of the bin. When the door is full closed it makes contact with the door open sensor and allows the shredder to work. It is just a plastic tab molded when they make the door. I am willing to buy a new front to the bin. If I could find out where.

The tab you mentioned is a handle for pulling the shredder door open. Can you clarify if there is any electrical parts that actually built around the handle...Clem
