How to: Philips SONICARE Repair [3 brush / 3 different fails]

[@roxie4843]

Just tried this advice in Nov 2023 and it's still relevant-- loose head pin fixed on the hx685t . Good as new. Just saved me hundreds of $ on buying a new replacement 🙏🏽

[@sharonfalcone2629]

So glad I found your video. The stem to attach the brush was loose exactly like the one you repaired. The hardest part was getting the bottom cover off. Thanks so much for saving me some money. Now that I am retired I am taking time to repair versus throw away items to save money and reduce waste in landfills. As a women I am grateful to these types of videos.

[@TinC33]

Exactl that's my point, sometimes i fix whole day a $5 worth think, but when i fix them i feel much better than just buying a new one, and also do something for my wallet and envirement.

[@obsidian666]

15 Euro instead of 200 for a new Toothbrush, less trash and easy change due to your tutorial. Thanks a lot mate!

[@DS-bi3fz]

"I feel like I stole something"- that was a great line. Thank you for taking the time to explain the faults and show the best manner of disassembly (just unsolder the coil). As it turns out, you described scenario 3, which is my case. After watching you dremel the small spot welds, and explain the broken metal, I decided to do the same. This was a very well-done explanation!

[@TinC33]

Thanks

[@andrebecker7350]

Hey TinC33. Thank you so much for this video. I had the brush/problem you fixed at @10:40. I bought a set of two brushed in 2019. One had this problem after 2 years. I sent it in and got a replacement. Now the second one had this problem and Philips doesn't offer repair, instead a 20% coupon in their shop. Only one screw was loose and no locktide was applied there. I cleaned, applied and reassembled and it works perfectly now. I did not only save a lot of money buying a new one, but it showed me how unsustainable Philips is. A perfectly fine brush with one loose screw... that's unbelievable and no solution from their side. Thank you so much

[@terrymcneilly2222]

Thank you so much for making this video. Approximately one year ago I had a failure like this on my toothbrush. I assumed it was broken inside because I dropped it on a hard surface. I dropped it in the garbage and ordered a new one. My new one just failed in the exact same manner last night, so I decided to do a little Google research and found this video. Happily 20 minutes later my new toothbrush is working like brand new again and I don’t have to waste $200 replacing it with a new one. Thank you again

[@TinC33]

Thanks, always like to hear feedback if someone fix it and save some $$$

[@jacobheres2264]

Thanks for this very helpfull video. I managed to repair my HX922B, Sonicare Diamond toothbrush which made a lot of noise because the small screw came loose. The tricky part for me was the part where I had to remove the inner guts from the cover. I was at first focused at two white clips and thought these were the ones holding the inner part in the cover. However, they are not. You have to reach a bit further up in the cover for two black clips that hold the inner part. I accidentally unclipped the white ones tearing the mini-cable apart from where ever it was attached to. So I ended up with the bottom part not lighting anymore. Not a big deal as the brush will function fine, still a little warning for future amateur repairmen. ;-) Maybe worth mentioning in your video so other will not make the same mistake?

[@goaowonk]

Thank you very much for your great troubleshooting and disassembly video! You saved me from having to buy a new brush from just a loosened head screw on my HX680A

[@jamescox9206]

My sonicare had stopped vibrating good. So I watched this video and fixed it. It wasn't corroded inside at all. It still looked new inside. The motor had moved forward on the magnet. I moved it back some intead of taking everything apart I just unscrewed the visible motor screw and put a screwdriver on top of the motor and tapped it downwards until the motor moved from the magnet and then I tightened the screw back up really tight and it works like new again. Great video.

[@TinC33]

Thanks but be careful if the spacer between the coil and magnet is too big, it won't wibrate as powerfull as if the magnet is closer to the coil, separate them that much so it won't touching, i think i set about 0,1mm of space between.

[@southmark]

I had the 3rd loud model you featured. The screw & holder were loose. Threadlocker & Patience and I got to hang on my 14 month old 4100 P. The new 4100 replacement doesn't have a wall part of the charger, smaller length & girth. . Battery has less charged run time usage. Less brisle movement performance ( about half). Phillips cheaped out. Thanks for the video.

[@TinC33]

True quality of sonicer is worst with every generation.

[@UnoriginalElephant]

Thanks! I was able to get a new handle under the warranty, but I fixed the old one and now I have an extra!

[@justinanderson6287]

Woah.. I was initially put off when I saw the soldering step, but after Philips wouldn't replace my toothbrush under warranty because I didn't keep the receipt from 16 months ago (does anyone seriously do that?), I went for it. So glad I didn't destroy my $200 toothbrush that still functioned, but I was able to fix it without having to unsolder the wires! The coil slipped and was up against the magnet and loosening the screws/sliding the coil down fixed the loud rattle. I can now brush my teeth without rattling my eardrums. Thank you!

[@dbrown129]

This was great! I was able to remove the case after watching this video. Saved me $80!

[@BeauxSelector]

My duuuuuuude, thanks so much for this video! I had the same problem with the second brush and now I managed to fix with minimal effort thanks to you. Legend! 🥳

[@yianz9]

Thank you so much! This really helped me fix my loose head pin and then my allowing space for vibration issue. Another problem has now presented itself, the unit won't charge on the glass charger! I took the unit out of the case and it charges perfectly. I believe the plastic silver cap on my Philips Black Diamond Sonicare isn't conducting the electricity. Any suggestions as to how to reassemble in order for it to start charging again? Thanks again :)

[@FermiBubbleGummyBear]

Wish I would have known this when my old Diamondcare battery died. But at least I was able to use this advice to fix the brush-head rod. The only problem was that I couldn't find those clips and so I had to look for another video to show what the clips looked like and where to press but otherwise, you saved me hundreds of dollars! :)

[@MichaelR-r8v]

Wow only needed one screw inside tightened to fix my loud af toothbrush. Thanks for this!!! Saved me a couple hundred $$$

[@TinC33]

Thank you for making this video, having a right to repair is part of the problem we need to solve to keep enjoying our quality of life, no point throwing something away which can be repaired

[@rodholland4186]

Big thumbs up. Helped me get the 2nd problem with my brush fixed. Setting the gap between the coils and the magnet.

[@HAL9000-su1mz]

If you carefully drill a tiny hole in the end cap (1-1.5MM), compressed air will pop the cap out. You must support the rubber seal at the tip of the brush while you do this. Then, release the two plastic clips inside the base and the mechanism will come out. When finished, a small bad of silicone or other glue will seal the hole when you are finished.

[@bogiabambaa]

I really appreciate this video and your desire to fix these products. I can't accept planned obsolescence and I try to get all my stuff in order. :)

[@hoonyah]

Best, most thorough tutorial I've seen. Thank you so much!

My man! Awesome video. Well explained and you maybe saved me 300 for a new one with a simple fix of that screw that makes the head loose. Much appreciated!🙏

[@kieran186]

Amazing video. Thank you. It's a little tricky so just watch a couple times, stop and go back, take your time. I managed to fix my diamondclean, same as in video without unsoldering the wires, pushed the magnet down enough to fit and slot a bit of card between magnets and screwed back together, took card spacer out to see the gap and fixed... Thanks again for this video.

Always like to read that kind of comment, so you do something for your wallet, nature and you feel great 😉

[@kvitoroulis]

Success :-) The hardest part was getting the mechanism out of the case. That took patience. The problem was exactly the same that you showed with the rattling black one. Thanks again!

[@tommynationofficial]

I have a black one, but mine won't turn on anymore suddenly. It looks fine, and looks like it is charging, but button does nothing. I ordered a new one, but will open it thanks to your advice and see if it is a dead battery or something else. It is 6 years old but looks new still on outside, so hope it might just be the battery that has died (not enough charge).

[@prhodan2695]

Many thanks for you guide. Very useful and quite easy to fix some issue after discovering how the mysterious internal sonicare is.

[@davidallan4887]

Finding it really difficult to release the hooks to get assembly released from body. Are they on the “short” side and is there a trick to release them?

[@XXXXSurvivor]

I had the the same issue the first time, they are more like tabs that push out on two sides. Look for them on the left and right side (top of the brush tube has the buttons and lights. They are plastic and just need to be gently pulled towards the center away from the sides of the cylinder. I would unseat them and pull on the plastic circular end with pliers gently and it should slide out.

[@TonyLovell]

Apply downward pressure on the brushmounting stem as you depress the black tabs in toward the center of the cylinder.

[@dbrown129]

Squeeze the cylinder slightly (try one way or the other) and they kinda push them towards the front or back to unseat them

[@XSebi0815]

Cool video, i have this brush and it startet so randomly turn itself on more times a day. I opened it and quite a few parts are rusted. The pcb has surface rust. I think its totaled 😕

[@TinC33]

Not at all try to clean it with a brush and alcohol, but you may need to replace the button if it oxidized from inside

[@ebachy]

Mine has a metal shaft that comes out when I remove the brush. Do I need a whole new head part or is there something to repair under the rubber cover? Thanks for the great detailed videos!

[@TheArkLade]

Great video. But do you have any suggestion on the start button not working (it charges well..at least the LED turns on while charging). Mine does not seem to have much dust/rust.

[@TinC33]

The clearence between magnet and coil is ok, if they stick together there will be no movement at all.

Hi, great video. Would you know what is the problem with my Sonicare hx939b? When I take it out of charger all the lights keep flashing randomly all day until it discharges the battery. But it works as normal. When in charger only green light is flashing as it should. I took it apart expecting to see contacts oxidised but they are all clean and sound. No water damage at all. Any help much appreciated. Many thanks.

[@vkrkic]

There is a hole at the bottom, it should be used to open the cap on the bottom. With compressor connected to the hole, it creates the pressure and bottom cap pops out. :) This way there is no danger to damage the handle. Good video altogether!

[@TinC33]

True, i didn't think about that before 🤷‍♂️

[@spaceburger80]

I’m on probably my sixth or seventh Sonicare Diamond in less than a decade. They’re the best vis a vis their competitors but they’re built to fail after 18 months.

[@M0R6ANcze]

It can be opened with air pressure into the small valve in the middle of the bottom without any damage. I saw it in other DIY video where guy used air compressor, I simply used bicycle pump with plastic ending for mattress and it worked well. :-)

[@TinC33]

Didn't try that, because there are clips wich hold the cover in housing, but compressed air may extend entire housing so it release the hooks, will try next time, thanks.

Very helpful! Mine is like that loud unit you have.

[@360VideoNetwork]

Excellent video. I have managed to open my toothbrush up following your excellent video. On mine the metal rod/ shaft that inserts into the replaceable toothbrush head has come detached from the magnetic holder. Unfortunately tightening the screw you show in your video has no effect as whilst that tightens the magnetic holder it does not tighten the metal rod that inserts into it. Have you any thoughts on what I should do. I'm not sure how the metal rod is originally installed - it isnt screwed in or held by the screw and doesnt seem to click in. Do you think it is worth using superglue to glue the metal rod into the magnetic holder?

[@TinC33]

Hello, if your thin metal part is broken there is no glue wich will hold it, in worst case buy new vibrating mechanism on ebay and replace it cost about 15$

[@ciril2643]

Zdravo Tine, hvala za video. Jaz sem razdrl svojo ščetko pri kateri je bil magnet pritrjen na tiljavo in sem ga uspel spraviti narazen. Ko sem poizkusil, če ščetka dela sem opazil, da se magnet takoj nagne v eno stran in drgne ob ohišje in zato zgubi vso moč vibracije. Kaj bi bil lahko razlog? Morda poznaš rešitev?

Try to squeeze like on 1;45 on front and back side, and same time try to pull out with tiny screwdriver, while entire brush push on the table on brush axis, that black is a bit harder to open, you will deform housing a bit for sure, but can fix befor insert back in by heat a bit deformed part and align.

Hi Tine. I'm back :-) Could you show us how to pull the unit into two for the second toothbrush that you showed in this video, please? There is a ribbon cable from the motherboard to the front half of the unit, and it will tear/break if I try to disassemble the two halves as show showed for the first toothbrush. Thanks in advance. Tim.

It should be newer version with a preassure sensor in head. I didn't saw then yet but i guess you'll need to unplug or unsolder ribbon cable before take apart

So far I have bought a replacement but this is expensive and not very earth friendly! I dismantled the parts but when I press on the on/off button, nothing happens. It is charged and when I put it in charge mode, the green light flashes. The little plastic rubber was worn out and traces of water inside the brush means that it was not waterproof anymore! Any idea how to fix this?

​@@TinC33Thanks. Ill look at it. I first tried just putting loctite only on the screw after cleaning it, screwed it in and it still wobbled. I took apart again and wire brushed screw AND nut. Nut appeared to have some black material on it. Ground this off. Added loctite to nut and screw. Assembled. Now head does not wobble. Seems secure. We'll see how this holds up. I'm reluctant to take head apart at this point. This toothbrush has a copper wire running up along the outside of this head unlike the previous sonicare models my wife and I have owned. I save my old brushes for parts but the head of the 5100 series is very similar but different.

Hi expert! I have 3 Sonicare toothbrushes I kept back from the past and two of them with a similar problem to yours. I have 2 Diamond Clean Smart that was accidentally dropped leaving one with a loose top like the one you have, and the other that just stopped working 3 weeks ago. The Flexcare had toothpaste/water seeping into the top. I took it apart and cleaned it up but it happened again. My brother is a messy brusher. I see you have experience in repairing these toothbrush handles, so I would like to ask if you can repair the 2 Diamond Clean and I will give you the Flexcare Handle for free. I am willing to pay if you have a service charge fee. You can make another KZbin video for the viewers. Please get back to me. Thanx

Sorry but i got no parts anymore so i can't fix it, in worst case check on ebay for vibrating mechanism and replace entire all you need is some basic tools and a soldering iron.
