Once again a KZread volunteer saves the day. Philips surely knows there is an issue with that screw and a little application of Loctite during Sonicare factory assembly would avoid the problem. But then that would affect sales of new brushes?????? Great tutorial

Honestly I don't think I'll be buying a Phillips brush ever again. They came in a pair and they both started malfunctioning within a week of one another. They are designed to break.

After I found this video I told my wife I could fix it for her, she was so impressed! Thank you so much!

The same here my father droped toothbrush on flor and stopped working in 15 minutes I managed fixed it (the hardest part was to find old ID card)..

Thanks for this tutorial. Saved me buying a new one. I dropped some lock tite on that screw so it ain't ever coming undone again lol

Sweet, you also saved me $50 because the head's screw was loose and making an awful noise, as well as not shaking the head how it's supposed to. I tightened it and it works brand new again.

Worked like a charm! The head screw was loose and now working well. Thank you!

Thank you for this video. You saved me $100. I was about to throw my toothbrush away as the head was so loose and it was so loud. I've had it a few years so figured it was just finished. Saw your video, took it apart and tightened the screw and it's as good as new. Much appreciated.

Thanks - great detailed instructions. I was worried about voiding any potential warranty claim. So I called Philips. They agreed to send me a replacement toothbrush. I then fixed my "broken" one. Now I have two! Super happy.

Thank you for posting this video! I followed your directions for accessing the inner workings and tighten the screw (which fixed the wobbling). Good as new! Saved me $50-$100 on a new one!

Nice, that is the best feedback ✌️

Thought I had to buy a new one. But after a little search I found your video and all I had to buy was some loctite. This was so easy with your instructions. Thanks a lot!

Danke mein Herr. Your video enabled me to fix the loose screw at the head of my Sonicare HX6829/75 in less than 10 minutes. A replacement would have cost me $50 USD as these are sold in pairs by Costco in the U.S.

Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial! I dropped my Sonicare last week and saw an ifixit guide which said that the magnets can get stuck due to the fall. However, the guide was for an older model which didn't have the ribbon cable for the sensor. When I noticed the ribbon cable in mine during disassembly, I found your video and was able to finish the repair that way! Thanks again :)

Haha that was exactly the reason why i decided to make this video, besides the fact that there a tons of similar other, but not solution-aimed videos :)

My disabled mother uses a similar electronic toothbrush model and I was able to fix hers rather than her having to unnecessarily throw it away and buy a new one. My upmost Gratitude to you. 🙏

Thanks a lot for this video, not only the noise is gone but also the toothbrush vibrates a lot better thanks to that gap. I just hope those two little screws can hold it for some time before they slip, I think they are too small not a great design from philips here.

Thank you very much for making this video. I did not have the "magnet issue", I only needed to tighten the screw on the head and my toothbrush works like a charm again👏

Thank you!!! A $280 toothbrush.. only 1.5 years old. The head got too loose and was making loud noises and not moving the head enough. Followed this video.. the screw fell out when I opened it. Put the screw back in. Good as new!

Thanks! Followed all instructions and the toothbrush now works like a charm!

Thanks for the informative video. My handle had the exact same issues that got resolved precisely as you described. The only thing different he did was screw a 1/4-20 threaded bolt into the bottom hole on the end cap and pulled it straight out without the need to use pliers, rags, and plastic wedges. Thanks again for the great instructions on the repair!

TIP FOR EASIER OPENING Hey! Huge thanks for the awesome disassembly video! 🙌 Your guide saved my toothbrush. I've got a couple of quick tips to add: 1) Instead of prying it open, try hot gluing a bolt to the bottom lid and pull. Peel off the glue or use a blowdryer afterward. 2) When adjusting magnets, keep the gap to about one credit card thickness for optimal vibrations. (bigger gap means weaker vibrations) For those facing the pressure sensor issue (yellow blinking light) you can easily recalibrate it: 1) If your handle is currently on the charger, please remove. 2) Place your handle on the charger. Make sure that the charger is plugged in to a live outlet. Leave the handle on the charger for at least 45 seconds. 3) Remove your handle from the charger and place it back on the charger for at least 45 seconds four more times.

GREAT!!!!!! VIDEO. 1 million thanks. I wasn't really looking forward to buying another one. Thanks again for that terrific instructions and the great angle you shot this video at. We could see everything clearly.

What a luck that you tried a quick google and came here :D

Excellent video, thanks. I found out the hard way that renewing/replacing the head-shaft alone is not always going to fix the problem. However the re-setting of the gap between the magnetic solenoids and that of the metal linkage section (which transmits the vibrations to the toothbrush shaft) was the thing that fixed it for me and made it as powerful and problem-free as when it was first purchased in day one. Using the credit card to acquire the correct gap size is genius! Thank you.

I was able to open a gap between the electromagnet and magnet by prying between the two with a small screwdriver, so I did not need to do any disassembly, besides removing the main housing. Now the toothbrush is in works well.

😂 that is pretty sad but at least you now know that was the problem - i personally would not support the manufacturer for having this planned obsolescence by just buying a new one. As you see by the major feedback on this video, this is by far a common problem and needs to be adressed in future models.

So after reading your reply I decided to give it a shot. I didn't have a plastic piece to open it up so I used a tiny screw driver, it left a couple marks but I didn't damage anything. And I figured since I was going to replace it anyway no big deal. Now it's back to normal and working again. Planned obsolescence is such bullshit. Thank you for the video!

Thanks amigo, you just saved me having to buy a new Sonicare.

Thanks for that Video! It helped me fixing mine with the same top screw issue.

great video! the spacing part was key for me as tightening the screw was not enough to reduce rattling. for anyone that still has rattling after this is done, once you slide the mechanism back into the housing it should put enough pressure on the components to get rid of the leftover rattles.

Thank you so much for this video! It was such an easy fix!

Fantastic. The only thing that really made this tricky was the fact that I couldn't see the internal "grips" to press down so the internals could be separated from the casing. Nevertheless, I just took a small flathead and working it around the inside where you indicated on both sides (seeing the best I could with a flashlight). Either way -- thank you -- like others in the comments, I have given my Sonicare new life, and a few tiny drops of Loctite red on that damn screw. Cheers!
