Sign Up. Price Cleaning systems are more often bought alongside electric shavers but it is possible to buy the system individually. Electrical ease Generally speaking, electric shavers are not difficult to clean with the small brush that comes with most units, as well as rinsing them under running water. You can also buy lubricants for your electric shaver separately and some come with a handy little bottle when you first purchase the shaver. Time consuming Cleaning the shaver after every use, as well as leaving the head to air dry before putting the shaver back together, can be time-consuming and often becomes a tedious and repetitive task.

Hello, I have a series 5. The last cartridge change out, I walked back into the room after an hour or so, and there was fluid everywhere, and the cartridge was half empty. At that time, I cleaned out the drain hole. Today I replaced the cartridge again, and stayed there to watch it cycle.

The fluid drains down, albeit slowly, and the cycle goes again. I double checked the drain hole, and it is open. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Check out the The station still splashes fluid and also leaks during cleaning section in the article above, it seems to be precisely that case here. Thank you Thank you Thank you. I took the whole thing apart, checked the seal, and while it was open, I blew some compressed air thru all the drain holes.

The machine now works perfectly again. Good morning, after much reading concerning not being able to charge an s type series 9 shaver in the cleaning station, is there a way to bypass or fool the charging station to be able to charge the shaver. Wondered if it uses the cc type shaver ueses a magnet to close a switch in the cleaning station? As far as I know, the only way to achieve this with an s model is a firmware update. However, it can only be performed in a Braun service center.

But the chances are very slim in my opinion. I just want to thank you for posting these helpful instructions. It solved my problem like a charm! Any ideas.. I have a Braun 9 shaver with the Clean and Renew system which I foolishly tried to clean before reading this board. And the circuit board probably got wet because pushing the button had no effect.

So I took it apart following your instructions and then cleaned it with canned air, put it out in the sun and prayed. Before trying to put it all back together I tried pushing on the little switch on the circuit board and miraculously it made noises and started to work again.

I hate to have gotten this far to not be able to get it back together and have to go buy a new cleaning system. Any suggestions? Remove the outer case of the station and try again, it should be really clicky when placed correctly. I do not have any detailed images at hand right now, unfortunately. But it can be a bit tricky getting it right. Ran for 12 hours unplugged it and when I plug it back I.

The fan comes back on. It will definitely not work, the station and shavers are not interchangeable. Also, only the Series 9 solo models starting with 93 like the s will work with a compatible Series 9 station. Great blog Ovidiu. I have a Model shaver. After turning the cleaning station on and off several times, it slowly started to work for a few seconds at a time.

Eventually, I got it to work continuously and finish a cleaning cycle. Also, like you advised in one of the comments above, I clean my shaver regularly with the brush and I also remove my cleaning solution cartridge between cleanings and store it separately. Thanks for your advice. Many thanks for such a well described process. I had been putting up with a wet shaver every time I cleaned it and was considering buying a new charging station or a whole new shaver. This has never happened before and it happened on the dirtiest degree which my shaver has never been at before.

From what I can tell you have a Series 7. Thanks for such a quick response and my b on not mentioning that it was a series 7. Yes, it cleans for a small amount of time and then just stops with the dirty light still blinking. I faced the same issue and solved it by setting the shaver series 7 to the lowest intensity level light blue one before putting it in the cleaning station and started the cleaning. For me this worked.

I kept having the issue with fluid splashing out and getting all over. I did find that there is a plate on the series 9 on the right side and there is a hole that is slightly hidden that was plugged. Once i cleared that out everything is now working fine. I cleaned and refilled my series 9 carthridge after indicator turned red. But now it is blinking red and station wont clean the shaver.

I tried with filling it to different levels and cleaning the drain but it doesnt help. Hey, I have a cc and almost immediately after buying it stopped working. If the cartridge is in place the pump just shoots the contents out. With the shaver in place the shaver will communicate with it and run, but again, the pump just runs non stop. While diagnosing it I filled an old cartridge with water and use it to see if there would be any change but all it does is eject all the water.

How hard is it or how do you go about replacing the pump itself? However, since your station shoots the liquid out, the motor appears to be working. The problem seems to be rather with the logic board or maybe a short somewhere. I think a better idea would have been to simply buy a new, compatible station and use that one instead of trying to repair yours. Having issues with my 7 series.

What part of the cleaning station reads the fliud level? It going red when there is more then half full. I will clean the drain hose,it a little dirty but not bad. Any advise will help. There are two wires that go down the intake tube and most likely detect the electrical conductivity of the fluid, not the actual level. I have a Series 7 shaver.

Recently when I place it in the cleaning unit, the four lights on the right side begin cycling top to bottom without stopping. This prevents the blue start button from activating. It seems like the station is having trouble reading the so-called health status of the shaver and decide upon the cleaning program. Is there another hole there? Where is it? I can see this happening when the unit should be draining. Found the secondary drain in the overflow reservoir.

I would advise updating the unclog instructions to say it should also be cleaned. This drain is almost impossible to see or clean from the top, because access is blocked by the reservoir wall.

The drain is right next to the primary drain, on the other side of the wall. I was able to clean out this reservoir by turning the unit upside down and shaking it vigorously. Unclogging the second, hidden drain resolved the problem. Many thanks for taking the time to share this. I will update the post to include the part about the overflow drain as well. At the time when I originally wrote the article I wanted to keep it as short as possible, so I never really considered including anything about the overflow as it seemed very unlikely to ever get clogged my station never fills up to that point.

I guess I was wrong. The overflow drain took 4. I have a Braun series 7 cleaning station. Today it stopped working. I recently put in a new cartridge. But the lights on the right side do not light up and the blue light does not light up when I press it. So it will not clean the shaver.

Do I need a new station? I know this is a long shot, but make sure that the razor is placed in the station correctly. Also, does the razor charge? If the problem persists, the culprit is likely the logic board of the station, but sometimes the dedicated chip inside the shaver fails also. Hello, Thank you for the article. I have a series 7 charging station for a Braun shaver that no longer starts a cleaning cycle. I made the mistake of running the whole unit under water and went to turn it on, possibly still a little wet and it was functioning completely erratically.

The LED lights on the left and right work that indicate cleaning solution level and how dirty the shaver is.

Is there any tips you can offer? Tim Fleming. Running the entire station under water was definitely not a good idea. Even tilting the station with a cartridge inside can actually cause the fluid to spill and damage the logic board or the motor. If you can determine the faulty part maybe with the help of a knowledgeable friend , you might be able to order and replace it.

Series 7 station components can usually be found on Encompass or eBay. If the shaver is still under warranty, I would suggest contacting Braun and detailing this problem, they will likely send you a replacement. I did encounter this issue, but only briefly with a Series 7 station it would usually work properly after removing and inserting the cartridge again. The low fluid, red light is flashing and I hear a buzzing noise.

The station still charges the shaver. I found a cheap 5 series station. Will the impeller from the 5 series station work? Can you provide more details? Did it start doing this all of a sudden? Does it happen with a brand new cartridge as well? Does the station still charge the razor?

I have an issue with the cleaning cycle starting spontaneously without me pressing the button. And it seems to spontaneously go into the cleaning cycle about once a day. The station should not be washed with water under any circumstances. From what I can tell, the power switch was probably shorted out and the water damage sometimes closes the circuit as if the button is being pressed.

You could try opening the station and with a q-tip dipped in isopropyl alcohol, carefully try cleaning the small circuit board of the power button. But make sure the station is unplugged before doing anything.

Thank you Ovidiu. You are certainly a wealth of information. It turns out that the station stopped turning on by itself, by itself. It no longer wakes me up in the middle of the night. Any ideas about how to remedy this? Regarding the new problem, it could be related to the previous one, but then again it might be a completely different issue. Great information on this site! In addition, I have had the black gasket come off from the housing unit and essentially just sits on the cleaning cartridge.

Is a replacement gasket available? If so, where can I buy it? I have NOT seen any other comments on this site, with others having a similar problem with the gasket. Thank you for your comment, George, glad you were able to fix the issue.

While you can find lots of different components for the Series 7 like logic boards, pop-up trimmers, motors, etc. Thanks for your reply. Although you do mention the 9 at the end f your reply. And I do clean it regularly, after every three shaves. So are you saying there is nothing I can do to fix this? Not wanting to give up, I decided to take one more crack at fixing my series 9 92xxcc cleaning base. I saw you recommend this solution to another person and gave it a try. And it worked! The unit operates normally now.

So thank you! It really took me some time to finally get it right. I found that I had to carefully place it in the right place so the tiny protrusion on the under side of the button sat right above the tiny button on the circuit board. If it does, the housing will fit properly and the button will sit right on top of the tiny button on the circuit board. Anyway, I hope that helps.

Many thanks for the detailed follow-up — that is awesome, glad you were able to fix the problem. I will update the post and include more detailed instructions, so thank you for pointing that out, much appreciated. My Braun cleaning station does not work woth my new Braun shaver.

I put the shaver in the cleaning atation with a new cartridge. The light comes on and I push the black button on the cleaning station and the light goes off. What is the exact shaver model? Was the station purchased previously, maybe with a different shaver? Make sure you push them in gently so the housing clears them and it can then be removed. I mentioned this in the article as well.

It can be tricky to get everything lined up. Take your time and be careful as plastic does break. Now — Where can I find a Sealing Gasket and white spreader ring?

My gasket frequently falls to end up on top of my cleaning fluid container as I renew my cleaning container. Your best shot would be to buy a used, even defective Series 5 station eBay, Craigslist provided that the gasket and ring are still in good shape. I got always 3 liquid sign. By spreading fluid do you simply refer to the fact that the station pumps fluid normally or does it splash it all around?

If the shaver stopped turning on during the cleaning process, the culprit could be a defective chip. I used to have a series 7 and cleaning station for it.

Then I bought the series 9 and the cleaning station about 18 months ago. I noticed that with the series 9, whether the station indicates 1, 2, or 3 lights the cleaning cycle time is all the same.

Whereas the cleaning cycle time time on the S7 would be longer and intermittent to run a 3 light cycle than the 1 light. Is there something wrong with my series 9? The differences between the three cleaning modes on the Series 9 are subtle, not to mention that most of the time the station would simply select the most intensive program the three lights even though the shaver was only used for one quick shave.

I cleaned the charger as per your examples… When I plugged it in, a green light appeared above the Power Button… After 5 seconds the light went out… After multiple attempts, the green light came on with a green Water Drop to the right of the Power Button… I tried the button and it started the Cleaning Cycle….

You are definitely not the only one to have experienced something odd with a Braun station. And it actually worked a couple of times. Hello My series 9 splashes out a lot of the fluid from the top during cleaning, but does not leak from the bottom. I have cleaned the drain and that seemed to work the first time I used it, but started spitting out again. Is it just a drain hole issue or could it be something else? Please check out this part in the article for more details of how to fix it. Hi, My Braun series 9 shaver will not start charging when I place it in the charging unit.
