My Father passed away a week ago and my Mother has given me his Braun Series 9. I've spent the last day cleaning it and thought to myself, "I really need to clean it"...this is the perfect teardown and rebuild guide that has helped me bring his shaver back to life and give me a great memory of my Dad. Thank you so much.

Enjoyed your video and appreciate your patient and thorough demonstration with the more delicate parts. Well done sir! Thank you very much!

Thanks for your video. My series 9 was failing - blue lock light - so using your video as a guide I stripped mine down to the chassis and found a filthy mess of old whiskers and possibly moisture. I did not start popping off clips, I just cleaned it thoroughly and now it starts and remains working, although blue lock light comes on occasionally. Anyway I’m happier now than I was thanks to you

My series 9 kept turning off after a few seconds of use, so I figured the battery was dead. I was originally going to have it serviced, since I figured the insides would be like a smartphone (i.e the seal gets destroyed when you open it and it's almost impossible to correctly position a replacement seal) but your video showed that it's actually pretty simple!

Thanks a lot, I was able to replace my broken motor and fix my series 9. So excited and happy. Saved $130 :)

Thanks for the Video!! Got the replacement motor and following your instructions it went together good. I also purchased the small ROUND screwdriver as well! That came in handy also.. The new head comes with a new gasket. So when you go to put in the new head it is stiff to insert. I used a small amount of Vaseline on the gasket to reduce the friction. For me you need to press in the new head and at the same time secure the 2 screws that hold it in. As long as you have some manual dexterity it will work fine.. I would recommend you watch the "Entire" video a few time's, then take it apart step by step starting and stopping the video as you move through the process. Keep all the removed parts in order as you disassemble the unit, that helps and have a lot of good lighting as well.. The process took me about 45 minutes.. Robert

Hi .. thank you for this video. My trimmer series 9 goes to “lock mode” just after few seconds of shaving. If I understand the lock mode can be turned on by holding the power off/on for couple of seconds. It automatically goes to lock mode not sure why. The weird thing - I cannot unlock it easily. Have to try maybe for good 10-15min of holding random power on/off motion then it will start. But again it go back to lock mode in few seconds use. Any idea - which part I need to replace?

Lock light comes on intermittently but once shaver starts, it remains on until I switch it off. I’m hoping the problem is moisture, and I’m hoping I got it

I always clean regularly on schedule, but recently began experiencing that noisy head. I have replaced the cassette and still get the noise and when I hold the head by hand and put pressure while shaver is on, the noise is gone so I know it is the vibration from the swivel contact points which you mentioned. Is there any way to repair instead of replacing? Perhaps filling in with some material to make the swiveling parts tighter and less room for vibration? Thank you.

@@letsfixitgarage It's UR18500Y. People who want to change the battery must take care about the +. There is a very small mark in the battery bed.

I couldn't find any UR18500 batteries in my country, so I used a TR18500 instead. The voltage is a tiny bit different, but it works fine and the capacity is also higher. The contacts don't stick out as much as the stock battery, so I had to bend the contacts inside the shaver inwards a little.

Do you think the black motor might be sturdier? Bought a used series 9 with the plastic damaged in the head of the motor like you show. Perhaps it could be possible to only buy the plastic part to save money?

as far as i heard braun is selling the whole motor as replacement. if you want to save money do look in youtube for a video that shows this procedure. its not an easy one..

How do you take apart the actual head/cassette components themselves?
