Braun series 9 teardown and reassemble 

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.

Thank you for the excellent tutorial. I had to replace the on/off button and this video was invaluable.

Lost the on/off button on the shaver so I needed to replace the whole front cover. This video made it possible for me to do it myself. Thanks for the detailed instruction in this great video!

Very helpful. Perfect and detailed. I managed to replace the battery of my shaver thanks to your video. Thank you!

Big thanks for the video! With the instructions I was able to get my shaver working again. My shaver’s shaving head started to have problems and I replaced it with a new one from Amazon. Works like a brand new shaver.

My Braun series 9 has deveoped a really bad smell lately. Very musty. Thanks to your guide I managed to clean it throroughly and hopefully, eliminate the odour.

Thanks a lot for this tutorial. Fixed a new electronic board for 35EUR !

Perfect thank , my razor now works again after replacingthe drive unit, thanks to you , cheers

Thank you very much for this video. I bought a new trimmer but I was unable to replace it. Now it's done.

Super useful video, I’ve changed the drive unit in less than half an hour, thanks a lot! It’s actually easier to tear this razor down and reassemble it following your video, than finding and purchasing spare parts from Braun 😂

Thank you for enabling me to repair my S9. The power button came off and and this video showed me how to replace the assembly. Excellent how-to video presented in a calm, reassuring manner. Thanks again.

Thanks! Helped me build the courage to break lose the trimmer and clean. Fully packed with hair. Works fine again.

Super helpful video; thank you so much for your time in putting it together! Helped me replace the head assembly and saved me lots of money!

was able to replace my series 9's power button because of your excellent instructions. thank you!

Used this video to help guide me replace the trimmer on my series 9, thank you!

After seeing your video, I ordered a new head, followed your instructions and, in doing so, restored my Series 9 to "as-new" condition. No more vibration and noise just a clean smooth shave. Enjoyed your video and appreciate your patient and thorough demonstration with the more delicate parts. Well done sir! Thank you very much!

I fixed my razor thanks to you! Thanks a lot!

Thanks! dropped my shaver and the trimmer popped off your video saved me from buying a new one! thank you!

Super helpful - THANK YOU!

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

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

Thanks so much for making this very instructional video. It allowed me to replace the drive motor with zero issues.

One of the best help videos I've used. GREAT!

Super detailled - Thanks help me well to replace the battery; be careful to adjust electric contacts after the removal of battery block screws are torx T8

Thanks for the Video. Mine had water ingress and was not working. I cleaned it and it works now. I am very impressed by Braun, they build it to be serviceable which is rare these days. I will definitely buy Braun again.

Thank you totally saved my life. My shaver dropped and the trimmer came off. I managed to get it fitted back after watching your tutorial

Yup, just what I needed. New motor from the net $50. The two little covers at the top were a little scary, but... got it! Thanks so much, excellent vid!

Many thanks for the video, repaired mine yesterday with your help!

Thanks so much. Wouldn’t have managed without video. Small side pieces n springs on head mechanism n beard trimmer bit tricky. Great video.

Needed to replace a broken button on my Series 9 (92s) and your video was the solution. My razor is like new again thanks to you. I’m extremely grateful to you for putting this video together. Keep up the wonderful tutorials. 👍🏼👏🏼

Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙂 ... I can't thank you enough. Your instructions are perfect. It definitely solved my problem ....👍

Thanks very much for doing this video! My S9 shaver was not holding charge (only 1 shave then needed charging). I got a replacement battery and followed your guide. Problem solved for £12 and less than 10 mins to change it.

Brilliant, brilliant - Such a great, clearly explained video. Many thanks......all the way from London !

Very easy to follow, thank you very much!

Thanks for such an easy to follow guide - I really wish I'd watched it all the way through though instead of disassembling step by step as I watched because it would have saved me a lot of trouble to discover that the trimmer just pops off :) Anyway, I discovered a lot of extra trapped hair by disassembling it so it wasn't a waste of time.

Excellent tutorial showing how to tear down & reassemble a series 9 razor. The battery on mine no longer holds a charge as long as it used to & I'm preparing ahead of time to see how to replace it. Your video will make the procedure much easier when the time comes to replace the battery. Thank you!

Big thanks for the video! 😀

great video, great explanation, thank 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! I ordered a new battery, opened up my shaver, popped in the replacement battery and now it's back in action! I also cleaned it while I was in there, somehow the insides had gotten FULL of beard trimmings! Thanks for your video!

Would have broken pieces without your instructions. Thank you!

I bought the shaver a year and a half ago. In the month of April this year, the device started turning on by itself and I took it to an authorized Braun service center. After a few days I was sent photos of the disassembled shaver showing the mechanisms and circuit board covered in mold and moisture. I was told that the shaver was working normally and was issued without repair. I was advised not to use it for wet shaving and not to rinse with water, which surprised me greatly.

Thanks, that was really helpful.

Thanks so much for posting this fantastic video! I managed to drop my razor and break a part in the head assembly. Bought a new motor part for it and, using your guide, got it working again. Much appreciated!

Very helpful video thank you man!

Thanks to your video I was able to replace the circuit board in my razor! Much better than spending $300.00 to buy a new razor. Thanks again!

You always do food work brother. I just saw your Braun 760 video and just replaced my battery yesterday, wow was that easy compared to a Braun 8585 that has batteries soldered in. This should get me ready when I purchase the 9 series, as the 9 has a bigger head and would probably be better for head shaving. Thanks for sharing 👊👍

Thanks i have a slightly different model but dropped it and the trimmer popped off. your guide helped me understand how to fix it and where that damn little spring went lol. Thank you

You are a life saver! Thank you!

Excellent video, thank you, sir.

Thank you so much. Awesome job.

Nice tutorial

Very Helpful! Thanks!

Same comment as others - super helpful video! Thank you so much for putting this out here...

Thank you. Very complete video that helped me to change the motor without any issue.

Thank you !!!

Thank you😁made acc. to your tutorial💪

Merry chrismast ! welldone thnaks a lot!

Great video, saved me buying a new razor! Just ordered a new drive unit and back to like-new.

Like your plastic screw install trick. Insert the screw Back out screw till you hear a click Slowly screw in screw. Prevents screw cross thread and damage to plastic threads. Video is the best I have seen in years. You could sell USB or Micro SD video of repair. 100,000 repair chips @ $5 each is $500,000 profit. Nice little nest egg.

Nice and satisfactory !!

Thank you so much my friend! I wouldn't be able to replace my battery if it wasn't for you.

Merci

Great video thank's

Very useful video - Thank you very much

Brilliant thanks.

Which screw drivers do i need

I forgot to say you that is a Braun type 5791. Thaks again.

Great video thanks Have you got a video on taking the main head apart with the springs and clips inside my son decided to take it apart to clean it for me now I have a bowl full of parts 😳

Can you please let me know what battery do I need for this charger as it has to be replaced. Thank you in advance

Thanks for this great video. Very helpful and reassuring to see it done before attempting by oneself. I take great care of my Series 9 and am very gentle with 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.

Thank you for the detailed tutorial! The long hair trimmer on my S9 Pro broke. Can you share where you order parts from please? If I can get the parts, using your tutorial, I should be able to repair it myself Thanks

Thanks. Helped me to take care lock assembly. Any idea where to own the tach switch. It kept on and off itself

Nicely done. It helped me do the front body housing. For a small appliance, it appears to have the complexity of a nuclear reactor.

Hi, can you do a teardown/assembly of the shaving head? I pulled mine apart and....its complicated!

Thank you for a good video on the Braun 9 series and a good RU-vid channel. Where did you get hold of the light blue tray you use as underlay when you fix the appliances?

Thank you for your tutorial. THE ELECTRONIC MODULE OF MY BRAUN Serie 9 is down. The modules on the market that I find are unscheduled. Where do you find the Programmed modules. Thank you very much.

Thank you it was very helpful! What is the name of your electric drill that you used?

Enjoyed video. I was really impressed by removal and install of the trimmer. My question is can an ‘S’ shaver be made into a ‘CC’ that will work with a clean and charge stand

Hello, I would like you to disassemble the complete head of the Braun series 7 shaver greetings from Argentina

Tengo una placa base rota de una afeitadora S9 Pro, si compro una placa base de una afeitadora S9 seria compatible? Es decir, es compatible la placa base de una 9 con una 9 pro?

Hi, Thanks for helping me out with the battery the last time. My shaver head motor either died or something plastic broke, when I turn it on the motor does not kick in, but if i move the head up in down it wants to power up but sounds weird. Are they worth fixing? Is it an easy fix? Thanks for your reply.

Can you tell me more about that snazzy little screwdriver you are using? I looked on Amazon and there are a few, but prices vary wildly. Thanks

Exellent tutorial, Thank You! My power button has popped off, is this part available separately or would I have to replace the complete front cover? Either way, where can I buy spare parts for this model?

Great video. Any chance to make a video to show how to replace the battery for series 5? Thanks

Hey, so I blew my power button off using an air compressor trying to clean it and now I turn them on using my scissors by touching the metal contacts. Do you have any spare parts for these shavers?

Hi! I would like to know if I should follow your steps for battery change or it is an easier (quicker) way to replace them?

Does the head come apart for cleaning?

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?

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?

Thanks a lot. Very helpful. I can shave again with less noise :)

I have a 9293s (Wet&Dry) and need a new battery, what's the battery code or part number I should get? Thanks a lot for your video.

Please post another video on disassembling the head assembly. :)

Thanks for the video. I have the same machine (9040s). I am just curious can we use the machine cleaning station also? or the cleaning station is only for other 9 series models?

I has a 7 series machine and it is loud and I did not see how to make it low. Thanks

Thanks I needed this video! Also, where did you get that cool little cordless screwdriver?

Loved your videos. My Series 7 PCB has an issue (I put the battery upside down) it's charging but not working. so where I can get PCB if you can tell me. Thanks

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

Thanks, but can you show how to disassemble the head, please?

Hi. My series 9 is only a few months old. When I fully charge it. Then I use the trimmer it turns off after about 10 minutes of use. As if the battery is dead. Recharge it again. I can use again for 10 minutes. Would the battery 🔋 have died after a few months use? Thanks in advance

I scored one of these shavers for free from a friend, but it doesn't have a charger. I just want to test that it will charge with a transformer and alligator clips before I pay for a new charger. From what I can see online it's either 12vdc or 12vac. Can you confirm which? Thanks
