Cordless Wahl 9649 blade disassembly and reassembly 

I am so grateful for humans like you that take the time to do these kinds of videos. I was trying to treat my razor right by taking it apart to clean thoroughly and when I put it back together, I got the same loud, jangling story as everyone else. The worst part was it cut a little bit of my hair,, so I was looking pretty fudged up. I started breaking a sweat trying multiple ways to put that damn thing back together. Finally broke down to see if anyone posted a solution and finding your video was a huge relief! The key was totally getting the other blade underneath the clip and your video made that clear. Thanks a lot!

This guy is an unselfish hero. Figuring this stuff out and posting it on youtube saved many people both money and time. Also helped save unnecessary waste. Can't believe this stuff isn't in the so called manual. Wahl should pay this guy money and put the video up on their homepage. It would be great customer service and save them from angry reviews.

This should really be in the booklet that comes with the clipper, much appreciated.

Thank You! I too was missing the spring clip on top of the large blade. I took this apart and put it back together 4 times before I found this video. This is why I love RU-vid

Thank you very much! I didn't realize, as you show, that the mobile and stationary blades have to be assembled together with one piece under the spring. Your video saved me from buy another new clipper!

DUDE Kurt. You rock. My wife took ours apart clean it then it did the same thing like everyone else mentions. Tried cutting mine and our little boys and unfortunately it caused some pain for us all, literally. Tonight's attempt kicked a search and by some miracle the same model popped up and wahlah. It sounds better and looks right already. Hopefully tomorrow's attempt goes well! Thank you so much for this simple fix!

This video is a Lifesaver. I opened the back blade to clean hair. And then once I screw back in making loud noise and not cutting hair at all. This video really helped me to put blades right together. Thanks a lot. God Bless.

hey, your the man. I intended to do the same thing, cleanup, but then put it back and it was so loud and wasn't cutting even a single strand. I knew the blades had to press against each other but couldn't figure how. But thanks to you, I saved on buying a new one and guilt of ruining a functioning clipper!

Thank you very much for your video. I bought this model today, and when I went to clean it, I ended up assembling it wrong and couldn't put it back together again. I'm from Brazil and no video in Portuguese helped me, I found the solution in your video, so thank you very much!

Perfect. That fixed my problem. For those of you who didn't "see" the fix, the top blade needs to be inserted into the clip of the bottom blade. It's a bit difficult to pull up but that keeps the blades tight to each other.

Great video! Was struggling with putting it back together. Never would have figured out the spring thing without this video. Thanks alot. You saved me the cost of a new clippers.

I wondered about the spring, but I didn't make the connection until watching your video. Thanks for putting this up, much appreciated.

this just saved my life i gotta go to the nursing home and shave up my gpa and visiting hours are short. couldnt figure out o needed that spring around both parts

Listen bro. You're a straight up gangster. I don't know you and I don't know what your life is like, but mine sucks and me finding out that little wire clip goes on top of one of the shears to hold it tight saved me so much freaking grief. I spent I don't know how long trying to figure out how to put my clippers back together after cleaning them. That small little detail made all the difference in the world because I absolutely love these clippers. Best ones I've ever had.

I was freaking out after cleaning my clipper because I couldn't figure out why it wasn't cutting. If it wasn't for this video where I was able to see that the larger blade must be held by the clip I would never have guessed it. Thank you very much Kurt for uploading this. Greetings from Argentina ✌🇦🇷

Thank you for this video. As many people here, I had no idea the spring was supposed to hold both blades. Thank you again.

Kurt thank you for posting the video in 2020. My clippers have been functioning suboptimally, and with your help I was able to clean and reassemble them. No need to buy a new set when you can get the old ones back online. Thanks again my friend!

Lets stop for a moment and pay our respect and gratitude to this amazing guy who took his time to post this insightful and very useful video! I have added a drop of oil where the clip touches the blade and I can say that it sounds brand new now! This video should reach every desperate hairy soul out there so I suggest you to update the title or add the following tags to the description of the video to help others to find it: Wahl Color Pro maintenance, wahl color pro cordless rechargeable hair clipper, Wahl portable clipper blades assembly disassembly, Wahl blades alignment.

Thank you so much for this video!!! I had taken it apart to clean it, and put it back together with my husbands help. Tried the clippers, and they wouldn't cut hair. We missed the most important step, placing the blade under the clip! Bless you, and thank you for creating this video.

You just saved my day, my haircut and possibly my marriage.

Like everyone else, thanks a ton for your video! I cleaned out the clippers and "put them back together" went to go cut my husband's hair and it was pulling his hair real bad and making a load sound. Found your video and saw that I put them back together wrong. The clip part to hold the blade together totally missed that the first time. Now they work like they did before.

Thank you! Such a simple fix that would have taken me hours to work out.

You literally just saved me from rebuying the entire buzzer because the blades seem impossible to find. Thank you so much!

This is very helpful - thanks for the video! Update: This video helped me fix my noisy clippers - thank you!!

Wahl should honor you for this video - I am still waiting for their customer service department to respond to my inquiry. Thank you! Yes, the clip on the top blade was the "missing link" for me as well.

This video saved me from buying a new one! It fell off the sink and I couldn’t figure out how to reassemble correctly, but got it back together and functional thanks to this video. Thank you much!

Thank you! I almost throw away the trimmer until i saw you video. Your video save his life and my money!

Hi Kurt, thanks to you I could finally fix the blades for my clipper. I was just one click away from ordering another clipper from amazon that I came across this! Cheers

Absolutely Brilliant! Like many others, I had taken mine apart for cleaning and when I put it back together...that same horrible sound. I must have spent two hours or more tinkering with it and couldn't figure it out. As soon as you pointed out that the clip holds both blades, I could see the scrape marks on the larger blade where the clip had been previously. That worked like a charm! Thank you so much for posting this video!!!

HUGE thanks. I bought these clippers at lockdown to start cutting my own hair. After 2 & 1/2 years I thought I'd treat them to a clean. Like a typical bloke I didn't read any instructions and just undid the 2 screws, pulled out the big blade and cleaned away. Put screwed it back together and it's not cutting just BUZZING LOUDLY. Watched this, slid the big blade under the spring clamp and it's fixed. YOU DA MAN😁👍

I literally just bought my clipper last night and while trying to check if the blade is adjustable, I mistakenly detached the blades from the spring. I had spent hours trying to fix it until I came to RU-vid and saw your video. You’re my hero❤🎉🎉🎉

Genius. The magic is at 0:55 and another thing that helped to reduce vibration was to press down on the metal retaining clips on the clippers themselves to hold the whole thing tighter. Thank you!!

Almost given up on fixing the blades correctly until I saw your video.I changed new battery and cleaned. It works like new.Thank you.

You just saved me $75, I was about to start looking for a new buzzer. God bless you for posting this video and showing us how to fix that horrible noise 😬😊

Thank you your video helped me to repair my husbands clipper and he’ll be very happy. He had a rough couple days.

Thanks for doing Wahl's job and showing everyone this basic step that isn't mentioned in the manual.

I just bought this razor and went to oil it before using it for the first time. When you unscrew those 2 screws, the spring holding everything tightly together pops off and it wont cut. I thought I had a defective unit until I saw this video and successfully (although nearly impossible to get back together... I used a butter knife to help, lol) these are back to cutting, THANK YOU!!

I was about to buy another Wahl Colour Code until I came across your video ,thanks Kurt. Like a previous comment this really should be included in the instructions. I got stuck when l unscrewed it and the clip holding the blades brcame separated that plus l didn't know you could push the assembled until off. Again cheers Kurt you saved me alot of hassle, thank God for helpful bright people my favourite hair clipper works like new.

THANK YOU, that damn spring that holds the blades together I had NO CLUE it went over the main blade. I cleaned put back together one blade at time and the shit would not cut at all. I was getting sooo mad, I then see the blades came apart on you and also. I seen you knew the spring U shape went up and on the top and rides the blade I guess keeping the correct tension. I put back together and bam cut like a charm now the blades aligned right, TY SO MUCH.

Man it works like the first day, I've been searching how to repair but nothing work until o see your video 💪

What else can I say...we all love you man. Thank you!!

Yo thank you. Decided to clean my clippers mid head shave and couldn't get them back together right and this video saved me.

This was great. i missed that the clip needed to be on the top blade.

Thank you so much! I cleaned the blades, put it back and it wouldn't cut anymore. I was about to throw it away and buy a new one. It's so simple, that clip needs to stay on top of the blade!!!

What an amazing video! Went to clean out my 9307A (Which has exactly the same head) and took the screws out first whilst the head was still clipped into the body! Everything fell apart and I put it back together as best I could, however, every time I pressed down on it to shave, the blades stopped completely. Spoke to my local hairdresser who offered to send mine away to be, 'Repaired' at a cost of £45!! Thanks to your video, I've just fixed it myself for free!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

Thank you so much for this video. I had to search far and wide for someone actually fiddling with this blade. Arigatou!!!

Thanks for sharing, easy and simple to follow and saved me hours of swearing....

For those of you wondering, yes this also works on the 9655N. Great video.

Amazing thank you. I tried all possible combinations to fix my clipper. Am glad you posted this video . I have now sorted my clipper

Thanks a million for sharing this. Took my clipper apart and missed the part around 1min 2 secs where you show how the spring should be attached to the bottom blade. This video helped me solve the problem immediately. Thanks so much for taking the time to share this.

Legend. You saved my clippers from the bin!

Just think I love u dude, its been several weeks without getting my haircut... I almost looked homeless

You’re the man!! I was about to toss out the razor after cleaning and not being able to put back together. Thanks

Thanks for this video. I was about to throw away my clippers because I didn't know how to fix this issue. I took them apart to clean them but when I put them back together it didn't sound right. This video helped me a lot. Thank you!

Thanks very much, the placement of the spring was the cause of trouble for me, and it is fixed now!

Team spring clip over here as well. Thanks for the video! You saved me $27!!!

Astonished that this world wide product should have such a design flaw that would ALLOW it to be put back together incorrectly. Thank you thank you for putting me right!!

Like other commenters, it wasn't intuitive to me that the spring clip needed to connect to the large blade too. Thank you so much!

Hello friend, greetings from Cancun, Mexico. You saved my wahl's life, I bought it in August 2017, but I accidentally fell and opened the razor, just today watching your video I knew how to align correctly and it works wonderfully, thanks for your video friend🤟🏼😎

Wahl needs to pay you some royalty fees for making this video. Was about to smash my trimmer on the ground before I came across this gem. The key is the placement of the spring clip at around 2:06 of this video. Judging by the number of views of this video, Kurt is the only one to have figured this out! Thanks for making this Kurt.

thank you so much. I got it apart to clean it and then couldn't get it back to working order. i was so confused but I just missed the spring clipping onto the guard. now it is all back and working great thanks to the help of this video

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your figuring this out and sharing it with the world!

THANK YOU, KURT!!!! So appreciate that you took the time to share your knowledge.

you saved my clipper. I was almost ready to bin it

I tryed to fixed because it’s very noise . I try many times to fix and I focused on screws . Today I see this video and it work like new. Thanks you so much

Thanks for the tutorial! You saved me from chucking it in the bin

Thanks for this video. I was not putting the clip back on top and my clippers were rattling. Now I know why.😂

You rock man. I despise buying new trimmers. Have taken apart 3 at this point that ended up in the trash. Not anymore! I asked myself how can this be difficult with only 4 pieces? Thanks for the video!

Thanks for very useful & much needed video solution. I faced hair pulling problem after I opened blade but now I figured out I was not fitting it correctly. Really thanks to you, I followed your steps and my Wahl 9649 working perfectly. Kudos for you !!

OMG!!!!!! Thank you very very very much!!! I took it apart to clean it out. I thought I had it put right back, (I have been on this thing for an hour trying to put back)!!!!!!

Thank you. You kept us from pitching a perfectly good clipper.

Top man Kurt, what an absolute pain in the arse this was, but there’s no way I’d have managed without this video. My clippers purr like a cat and I can fix this patchy mess on top of my head.

Someone recommended your video on Amazon.. cheers to you both 👍🏼

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I felt like a dummy trying to figure out the spring but you really helped!

Thanks so much for the video. I just disassembled our Wahl 9649 (used for our dogs; I no longer have enough hair left to warrant its use). I reassembled it using this video and it appears to be working well.

Hi and thanks so much for taking the time to post this video. I thought I had broken my clippers because they wouldn't cut. Thank you, thank you, thank you, I can use my clippers again. You have saved me a lot of money, I really appreciate your help.

Actually really helpful. I took my clippers apart and I could not put them back together the correct way. Lol THANKS

Thank you so much for this video! I just spent over an hour puzzling over what I'd done wrong after cleaning it.

Dude. honestly, *fucking thank you* . got a cordless trimmer last christmas, and after i disassembled the blade to clean it and then reassembled it, it didn't work the same (was way louder and not cutting hair). For the life of me, i couldn't figure out what was wrong. but after not even a minute into your video i figured out exactly what was wrong and now it works perfectly again.

Thank you for posting this. You saved me $30.

It's great how the spring is no where to be found on the instruction manual. Awesome video. Was super frustrated trying to figure it out. Thanks for your help. Tine to resume my hair cut without the shredding of my hair.

Ugh you made pulling that spring look easy but, now I know how to move it and put my blades back together cheers.

Thank you! This finally allowed me to get my clippers back functioning. Had no idea the top hand to be put under the spring before reassembling - which was a critical part.

This was very helpful thanks, I could not figure it out until I saw your video Kurt

i recently bought this unit and this solution fixed my issue. thank u so much

Man, thank you so much! To think I spent an hour and a half fiddling around with this thing. The manual is worthless.

So simple, thanks for taking the time to post the fix to what looks like a very common problem.

Thank you so much for taking time to do this video and upload it! Hope there is more people like you and this video definitely saved my day. Thanks again!!

Thank you very much for this video! It saved me money replacing the whole trimmer (I got so fed up with the blade not cutting). Didn't realize that the top blade was supposed to be tucked into the top of the spring assembly. Thank you again!

Life saver mate. Probs wasn't the best thing for me to take it apart the day before my holiday on a Saturday night but you saved the day.

I took my clippers apart to clean, and when I put back together. WOW the clippers were So Loud , and wont cut as Good & mainly pulled.. Thanks To This Video, I fifures out why my clippers were so Loud.. Its because of the Spring Clip, that Holds the Teeth Together.. Now it works Like New & Quieter. THANK YOU. HAPPY EASTER SUNDAY 🐣

God! thanks to this video!! very useful!! was about to throw the whole set into the trash bin after 2 hours of fixing and don't know that a small clip needs to bit the base blade......This info really needs to be mentioned in the manual otherwise this product is not working.

saved my shaver from the trash :D thanks a million!

I thought I had mine spoiled. I cleaned the clipper and didn't realise that the spring went off its place. Thank you so much!

This was such a helpful video. I struggled for months attempting to re-assemble my clippers! I was about to buy a new head completely but this video helped me fix it!! Thank you.

After a painful haircut last night. This video was a huge help!

Thank you Kurt! We only used it once and thought it was broken, so you saved our butts!

Helped me get my blade working again after I cleaned it, thanks! One issue I'm having now is the screws just won't go in at all

Thank you, I managed to put the blade back together correctly, thanks to your video - much appreciated!

I had the same problem after cleaned the machine, all is in the CLICK, thanks for your take 3:22 of your time for a great assistance, but i dont understand, simple and helpful video and ... why 28 dislike ? oh people people!
